more likely came down to the fact that most teams in the ACC don't like giving north carolina teams a home-court advantage every tournament.

Yea but in NC at least you have it where the majority of schools are not traveling to far. Brooklyn just seems Big East to me but they did not ask my opinion.

A. Because Hades is overbooked with Russians
B. Because UNCheat alumni wanted a home court advantage
C. Easy access to a large pool of corrupt Refs
D. Because no southerner wants Jim Boeheim driving on their roads

Why were the lights in the stands out. It looked dark on tv. I assume low attendance.

a) because you will see more good basketball players on any street corner than in all of NC' b) share the wealth with the tournament. Why should MC cities feast on the gimmee money?It is mot like any of us would go regardless.

Of late, the ACCT has rotated through four cities....
Mar 9, 2022, 11:03 AM
|

Greensboro, Washington, Charlotte, Brooklyn, and occasionally Atlanta.
The 2023 ACCT will be back in Greensboro (of course) and 2024 ACCT will be in Washington.

They like to move it around to different locations to satisfy those more local schools. They won't ever have it an arena that holds less than about 18k seats.

Idk but it was cool seeing the orange and purple on the Empire State Building. Plus if Clemson can make a deep run or even win, it would gives the BB program huge exposure to recruits in a market that would not normally watch Clemson BB.

It was determined that of all the cities in the US, NYC was by far the safest city for the fans and players. Especially those who like to take late night walks.
