Costner's full repertoire was on display for four consecutive games and his 90 total points are a new ACC Conference Tournament record. Congratulations to Brandon and the Wolfpack for an excellent ACC Tournament run. http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/trr-acc-conference-tournament.php http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/trr-acc-conference-tournament.php ACC Conference Tournament Home NC State Sun, 11 Mar 2007 16:18:18 -0500 By Michael The Tar Heels held off a feisty Wolfpack squad to earn their 16th ACC Conference Tournament Title. Congratulations to Roy Williams and his cast of super freshmen. http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/unc-2007-acc-conference-tourna.php http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/unc-2007-acc-conference-tourna.php ACC Conference Tournament Home NC State North Carolina Sun, 11 Mar 2007 15:23:20 -0500 By Michael Two serious bombs by Wes Miller to close the first half. The 10-2 run was a reflection of the Carolina depth as the Wolfpack ran out of gas at the 2 minute mark. TRR thought Wright's length would bother Costner inside and that appears to be true. State, however, is having good success with the high pick and roll with their bigs. Costner's well-rounded game and ability to put the ball on the floor really shows here. McCauley is cleaning the offensive glass and Carolina would be wise to keep a body on him. TRR has UNC with 20 points in the paint and NC State with 15 points from behind the arc. We continue to feel this inside-outside aspect of the offenses will determine the outcome of the game. Three pointers need fresh legs...does NC State have one last reserve of energy? http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/tar-heels-up-4234-at-half.php http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/tar-heels-up-4234-at-half.php ACC Conference Tournament Home NC State North Carolina Sun, 11 Mar 2007 13:48:18 -0500 By Michael NC State downed Virginia Tech 72-64, setting up an All-Tobacco Road final in the ACC Conference Tournament. The Wolfpack continue on their magical run, but have been fortunate to face three similar teams. That will change today when they meet North Carolina. http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/nc-state-advances-sets-up-allt.php http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/nc-state-advances-sets-up-allt.php ACC Conference Tournament Home NC State North Carolina Virginia Tech Sun, 11 Mar 2007 12:46:37 -0500 By Michael Except for a brief run in the second half, Boston College never really posed a threat to Carolina. The Tar Heels controlled the boards on both ends of the floor and sailed to an easy 71-56 win. http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/unc-advances-to-acc-tournament.php http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/unc-advances-to-acc-tournament.php ACC Conference Tournament Boston College Home North Carolina Sun, 11 Mar 2007 12:07:05 -0500 During the season, TRR was noted two things about UVa: (1) The guards are better than anyone else's and (2) their lack of post play will kill them in the post season. On Friday, the Wolfpack trio of Grant, Costner, and McCauley combined to score 54 points against the UVa frontline in a game where NC State shot an effective field goal of 62%. http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/teams/nc-state/nc-statethe-shots-are-falling7.php http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/teams/nc-state/nc-statethe-shots-are-falling7.php ACC Conference Tournament Boston College Home NC State Sat, 10 Mar 2007 09:44:37 -0500 UNC held Al Thornton to 12 points as UNC advanced over FSU. UNC was paced by their three heralded freshman who all scored in double figures on Friday. The game was fairly even with a 21-17 score with 7 minutes left in the first half. UNC closed the half with a 15-9 run and FSU could never get back in striking distance. http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/acc-conference-tournament/unc-dominates7358.php http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/acc-conference-tournament/unc-dominates7358.php ACC Conference Tournament Florida State Home North Carolina Sat, 10 Mar 2007 09:35:05 -0500 It is hard to call any Thursday game a classic in the ACC tournament, but Wake and Georgia Tech put on an offensive show on Thursday night/Friday morning. Wake Forest’s guards put on a show led by Harvey Hale’s 21 points in the two overtime sessions, including a few shots that defy explanation. The Deacons were also led by Ishmael Smith with 13 points and 15 assists. As TRR advised, the Deacons also got to the foul line 48 times. The lead in the game exchanged hands 16 times with the last overtime ending when Anthony Morrows jumper rolled in and then off the rim. http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/shake-and-wakedeacons-win-a-cl.php http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/shake-and-wakedeacons-win-a-cl.php ACC Conference Tournament Georgia Tech Home Wake Forest Fri, 09 Mar 2007 11:32:57 -0500

Without Henderson to provide some additional muscle inside, NC State pounded it in to Costner and McCauley. The two responded with 45 points on 17 of 25 from the floor and helped NC State record a stunning EFG percentage of 65 percent against Duke. NC State rode these two and a stellar second half from Atsur to down the short-handed Blue Devils 85-80 and advance to the second round of the ACC Tournament. Good call Chris (you know how much it pains me to admit that!).]]> http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/nc-state-dominates-the-paint-d.php http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/nc-state-dominates-the-paint-d.php ACC Conference Tournament Duke Home NC State Thu, 08 Mar 2007 22:41:08 -0500 By Michael The game was a microcosm of the Tiger season: start strong and fade down the stretch.

While not as difficult as picking the entire NCAA bracket it still is not easy. But I am comforted by knowing that when I am right 56% of the time, I am wrong 44% of the time. These picks are not necessarily endorsed by TRR at large, I am just the only one dumb enough to put my name on the line with these picks. No really, that's it, so go ahead and write me and tell me how stupid my picks are. http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/acc-tournament-picks.php http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/acc-tournament-picks.php ACC Conference Tournament Home Tue, 06 Mar 2007 20:38:05 -0500 answered.
