Our defensive metrics have slipped a little bit over the course of the ACC tournament.

I mean, look, we all said that the game against Florida State, hats off to FSU.

They torched us on defense.

But I think that's to be expected.

With no Pat, no Caleb, our D is going to slip a little bit.

But it definitely sounds like the word is that Pat is going to be back in

If not for the game against the 16th seed, he's going to be back for the rest of the NCAA tournament in all likelihood.

And Duke continues to say that they expect, if they go far enough, that Caleb will be there for this team in the NCAA tournament.

But Donald, I wanted to get to... Before we get to the headlines, before we get to the specifics of the game, I just want to do a few little ACC tournament superlative kind of things to talk about the...

Incredible, astounding, ridiculous that John Shire has now won three ACC titles in his first four years.

Like no one had ever won two out of three.

Now he's three out of four.

It's outrageous.

He now has, and Donald, to say that this astounded me, like I couldn't even wrap my head around it really.

Think about ACC coaching, guys like Tony Bennett, Jim Boeheim, Gary Williams, Lefty Dreisel, Terry Holland.

I mean, like Leonard Hamilton.

Like, I could go on and on.

Just absolute legends in ACC coaching who don't have as many ACC titles as John Shire has in his first four years.

Here is the list.
