I actually like the ACC MBB opponents more than the Pac-12 opponents.  Duke, UNC, BC, Miami, Louisville, Va, ND, Ga Tech, Syr and our old friends west of Stanford.

I think this conference will help our national MBB recruiting (he said, naively...).

Lots to like.  Guys played hard, did their best to chase down every lose ball, passed much better than any Haase team I remember seeing.  Guys also seemed to know where their teammates were. I wanted to cry when we first drove into the middle with seemingly nothing good in prospect, only find our guy found a teammate with a good pass in traffic.  We do have some players.  Gealer is probably not going to enjoy watching those passes he made that got intercepted and turned into 2 points, but I am sure he will learn from watching the film a dozen or so times.
I also think this game showed why the Portal can be a real plus for a coach like Smith.  If he can produce a winning record in a tough conference, kids will listen to him.
