Too bad its on a Thursday though

A few notes from Axios Charlotte



Between the lines: Charlotte Sports Foundation, which is putting on the Ally Tipoff, has been working to bring all sorts of collegiate sports to town.

CSF brought two HBCU football programs to Charlotte for the first time in the 2022 Duke’s Mayo Classic at Bank of America Stadium, and it launched a three-year deal with the Jordan Brand to host men’s and women’s college basketball at Spectrum Center with the Jumpman Invitational and it’s now highlighting women’s basketball exclusively with the Ally Tipoff.

What is the Chapel Hill coach talking about about... Many of the great traditions.? UCONN definitely... SCAR has been good for 8 years...UCLA has never done a thing since the NCAA tournament began, and Chapel Hill won their only title before most of us had their drivers license. Come on man.

UNC was a dominant program during stretches of the 90s/00s. I dont see the harm in hyping up an event where a number of top teams will be playing.

Our friend gets indignant at anything even remotely positive being said or implied about the school in Chapel Hill.

You could have let me cook for a least 24 hours.

Banghart > Lawson.

NORTH CAROLINA TARHEELS > Puke Duke

Well, Lawson has just 46 career wins so far, can't really put her anywhere among the coaching echelon until she's actually, you know, coached for a while.

True, but great upside, I think. Banghart as well.

That's a bunch of decent programs. I was impressed by Utah last year, but few remember they had a solid mid-major history under Elaine Elliott. FSU and UCLA have solid histories that a lot of teams would be envious of, as well.

Early returns are promising and I prefer Lawson over Banghart.

 

[Gate81]

wish Stanford were in one of those slots!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Early returns are promising and I prefer Lawson over Banghart.

That's fine, and glad you are happy with your coach. Because she's been at it for so much longer, the measurables stack up hugely in Banghart's favor. She's been getting her teams to the Tourney on a very regular basis, both at Princeton and Carolina.

Coach Neighbors feeling nostalgic for his Pac 12 days? Should be a fun night.

Battle of the Birds in Charlotte

I expect Iowa to be a bit wobbly coming out of the gate this fall. Replacing 2 three-year starters without portal additions and probable experimentation with multiple lineups will lead to some head-scratching performances. I feel the potential for another good team by the end of the season is very good though.

Happy Sunday Triad. Your posts always have me smiling

Hope we don’t get blown out

VPI will open the season at home versus the mighty Panthers of High Point. They will be unveiling the ACC championship and Final Four banners that night.

Can my Panthers spoil this festive evening? We are out for revenge for last seasons beatdown. We coming

 

[nwhoopfan]

Colorado has not been noted for their non conference schedules. That's a big step up for them.

All jokes aside this will be a great match-up. I dont think colorado lost any players from their sweet 16 run.
