Why I love the ACC tournament ...
subtitled, "Why I'm an idiot"
On the podcast I said that the Maryland-Miami game was the one really easy first-round game to pick. Yes, that's the same podcast in which I picked Clemson to beat FSU. Thanks for reminding me.
Shows how much I know. Maybe I should have noticed that Miami was looking a lot more competitve toward the end of the season - OT losses at Clemson and at home to FSU. Maybe I should have put more stock in the return to health of Hurricanes post player Jimmy Graham.
But c'mon, the Terps were the hottest team in the ACC.
Emphasis on were. It's 37-24 Miami at the half.
Three times during the first 20 minutes I had to lean over to ACC PR honcho Brian Morrison to make sure I was indeed watching the Terrapins. He repeatedly assured me that I was.
I'm not so sure.
