In case you didn't see yesterday's fanpost with the 2013 ACC Tournament bracket, here it is. Tech is seeded ninth and opens tournament play Thursday at high noon against the eighth-seeded Eagles of Boston College.

Phillip Wheeler was rooting through his old stuff this morning, and came upon his buzzcard:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Freshman year in College. When Atlanta just started poppin. 1st day on campus. Last hair cut. <a href="http://t.co/QIxG905WRf" title="http://instagr.am/p/Wtt0HXvR_r/">instagr.am/p/Wtt0HXvR_r/</a></p>&mdash; Philip Wheeler (@Philgood50) <a href="https://twitter.com/Philgood50/status/311065437024690177">March 11, 2013</a></blockquote>

Just for comparison's sake, that's him last spring in the headliner photo of this post. What a change!

The football team's got a few tests tomorrow:

Good to see Coach Sisk (strength & conditioning coach) isn't wasting any time and getting our boys in shape for spring.

Another baseball score you'll like from the weekend (scroll down to the bottom). I was going to link to a certain school's athletic site, but at the top of every page is this awful-looking "G" and I didn't want to subject my good readers to that sort of thing.

Tom Crean (Indiana basketball coach) is kind of a crappy sport. The part that seals that opinion to me is this incident occurred after a win. Calm down, coach.

ESPN has a two-part Q&A with UNC coach Larry Fedora (part I; part II). I think UNC would've been better this year all things equal, but I think there's just too much negativity around the program for them to make a considerable jump this year.
