Wake Forest climbs 10 more spots in the NET rankings, to No 32 after last nights 80-51 victory at Georgia Tech. https://t.co/o4py5bM7eb
Tamin Lipsy's steals, thrills and key baskets helped No. 14 Iowa State hold off Texas, 70-65, Tuesday on the road. More from our @ROBWGRAY in his radio recap here https://t.co/JdPE5j06Id
POSTGAME POD: @ChrisMWilliams & @ROBWGRAY break down everything from Iowa State's 70-65 road win at Texas. Presented by @KarlAutoGroup. https://t.co/5ur4Qirsu5
Postgame story on Wake Forest absolutely blitzing Georgia Tech. The shots didn’t fall from behind the arc but the defense never quit, and that’s something they can control: https://t.co/qbI9qNyq3F
Clemson C PJ Hall was asked about UNC C Armando Bacot's viral "The ACC runs through me" comment post-Duke and if it was still true Hall: "Great player. They're at the top of the ACC right now. Came in here and got a great win, that's all I can say. And he was a load to battle"
Another massive win for Iowa State. Cyclones look like a legit Big 12 contender with a path to the NCAAs in Omaha.
Clemson C PJ Hall on the team’s mindset heading into an eventual upset of No. 3 UNC: “We didn’t wanna get out here with a win. We wanted a domination win. Come out here, set the tone, don’t go out there scared.” Mission accomplished tonight https://t.co/uOXR6arF3m
Timeout, Texas | 68-63 ISU 15.2 2H | Dylan Disu and Max Abmas follow Tamin Lipsey on the drive and leave Tre King open for the dunk.
Our Grayson Mann @gray_mann21 on Clemson's win in Chapel Hill. PJ Hall, Ian Schieffelin and Joe Girard were absolute warriors tonight. https://t.co/uDRVCX6lNg
Tamin Lipsey steals it and finds Curtis Jones downcourt. Cyclones up 62-51
Tamin Lipsey's shot rattles out, but Hason Ward is there to put it in. 51-37, Iowa State.
2nd win at UNC in school history. Tigers snap 40 game losing streak to AP top 5 teams on the road. https://t.co/qqtRg6HpGr
Wake Forest moves to #22 in KenPom. From 41 to 22 in two games by overwhelming Syracuse and Georgia Tech. Hell yeah 🎩
Wake Forest jumps up 9 spots in the KenPom ratings to No. 22 after the 80-51 win tonight at Georgia Tech. Highest rating on KenPom since AT LEAST the 2009-10 season.
Clemson MBB coach Brad Brownell says he was "really upset" with PJ Hall on his third foul. Hall finished with 25 points in the win. "He wants to win so bad ... He was outstanding"
49-35 ISU 11:24 2H | Abmas has made two field goals but Hunter is still 0-for-7. Longhorns haven't even attempted a three-pointer this half. Both teams are shooting free throws the rest of the way.
Brad Brownell says he believes good things happen to good people who work hard. “Today was that day” for his team. Says he was proud of Clemson MBB’s composure tonight vs No. 3 UNC https://t.co/gn2wkYkEap
Another for Paveletzke. Iowa State's lead is up to 18 with 12:40 to go. 49-31, Cyclones.
Super positive development for Memphis. Clemson (No. 37 in NET) pulls off a huge road win over No. 3 UNC. Virginia (No. 32) is also on a seven-game winning streak. Those two breaking into the top 30 would give Memphis three Quad I wins (along with road win at TAMU). https://t.co/QjWjfT3IEX
Clemson comes to Syracuse on Saturday with a win over UNC in its pocket tonight. Joe Girard dropped 21 points on the Tar Heels.
Told @willmaxey this morning that I thought Clemson had a good shot of getting a win at UNC tonight. What a win for the Tigers!
𝗚𝗥𝗜𝗧 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗔𝗜𝗟𝗦! 😤👏 The Tigers take a BIG win back south with a road thriller against No. 3 North Carolina! https://t.co/qqqVrpmzzl
Clemson beating Carolina and FSU beating BC, both on the road, really keeps the pressure on Wake from a top 4 in the ACC perspective. Tigers a lock for the tourney now though.
Wake Forest defeats Georgia Tech 80-51, destroying the Jackets from start to finish. Deacs improve to 15-7 overall and 7-4 in the ACC. Huge game back at The Joel Saturday against NC State.
Max Abmas records his first points of the game on three free throws. Texas trails 36-22 with 18:55 left in the second half.
23 points, 8 rebounds, + 13 for PJ Hall tonight in Chapel Hill. Runaway ACC player of the year in almost any other season.
Tech in another funk scoring, 4:27 without a FG, Wake leads 63-28 with 11:52 remaining.
22-11 ISU 7:33 | Ithiel Horton is the only Longhorn to be positive in +/-. He's played in three minutes. No Longhorn has more than three points. Max Abmas hasn't scored.
Wake Forest with 14 assists on 22 made buckets thus far.
Jackson Paveletzke with a jumper! 18-6, Cyclones.
Three-ball, Curtis Jones! Cyclones lead it 12-2 approaching the under 16.
Wake Forest leads 46-20 at halftime. Largest halftime lead of the season for the Deacons. Get your "they'll blow it again" takes in now if you haven't already done so. Shooting 50%, only 3-10 on 3s; rebound advantage is 24-13, points in paint is 26-4.
I'd say this was a pretty good half of basketball for the Demon Deacons. https://t.co/5kQzIt1HCV
GT up to 11.5 percent shooting. Unfortunately Wake is shooting 51.7 percent.
20-0 run for the Demon Deacons. Wow.
Horrendous defensive effort out of the gate for GT, Stoudamire burns a timeout after several easy buckets at the rim for Wake who lead 10-3 over the Jackets with 16:42 left in the first half.

#UVA moved up to No. 32 in the NET rankings after last night's romp over Miami ... https://t.co/F9jcqU9Ink
#UVa’s Taine Murray made the most of his minutes during Monday night’s win over Miami, helping the Hoos separate late in the first half. He’s carved out a role for himself over the last five games, too. “Taine gives us that lift.” https://t.co/FTfQdfnRru https://t.co/dpwQ20KGE2
Irritated by a defensive lapse, #UVa’s Ryan Dunn smacked the basket support late in Monday’s game v. Miami. The Cavaliers led by 24. This is the unyielding intensity that has ignited Virginia’s 7-game winning streak. ⬇️ https://t.co/aNwwED8iW4
That's a huge win for NC State, not just in terms of another ranked win and resume booster but now you're even with Louisville on record with a head to head win. Big for that regular season title push (need to win the VT rematch Thursday too) https://t.co/2ByjmxKi51
I know Virginia is on the bubble and all of that, but man. When that defense turns up and Ryan Dunn is rotating around and flying everywhere destroying every set you want to run, they're something special to watch.
Reece Beekman to Ryan Dunn for the ally-oop slam ... and Jason Williford is out on the floor waving Dunn back defensively, hahaha. #UVA leads 40-19 with 14:24 here against Miami and this is as impressive a performance as the 'Hoos have had this season.
Really, really good minutes from a lot of guys today. Virginia started 1-for-9, then went 11-for-16 after that. Hit 3-of-4 from deep. Nijel Pack didn't score (0-6), which I don't think will carry over into the second half, but really solid on him.
Not the headliners, but #UVA got very valuable minutes and contributions from Taine Murray and Blake Buchanan that half ... https://t.co/8Ibw9WiZ2g
UVA is looking good on both ends of the court tonight. Third best team in the ACC right now.
#UVA up 20-11 after that Taine Murray strong rebound/Ryan Dunn fast-break layup. JPJ crowd is loud.
Miami at #UVA here at JPJ in 25 minutes. 'Hoos have won 6 in a row and have a nation's best 22-game home win streak. Hurricanes are getting healthy. Should be a good one ... https://t.co/FagL3Gn931
