Tracy Smith Earns Second-Team All-ACC Honors

Congrats to Tracy. The teams:

First team:
Greivis Vasquez, Maryland (159)*
Jon Scheyer, Duke (159)*
Malcolm Delaney, Virginia Tech (159)*
Trevor Booker, Clemson (137)
Kyle Singler, Duke (134)

Second team

Al-Farouq Aminu, Wake Forest (126)
Nolan Smith, Duke (104)
Sylven Landesberg, Virginia (95)
Tracy Smith, N.C. State (82)
Ishmael Smith, Wake Forest (76)

Third team

Gani Lawal, Georgia Tech (73)
Dorenzo Hudson, Virginia Tech (51)
Chris Singleton, Florida State (50)
Joe Trapani, Boston College (38)
Solomon Alabi, Florida State (30)

They got the first team right. Based on their production in conference play, I don't think Nolan Smith or Al-Farouq Aminu have much of a case against those other five guys. As for the second team, one quibble.

Conf-only.	ORtg	%Poss	%Shots	eFG%	2FG%	3FG%	FT%	FTR	Ast%	TO%
Player A	109.6	26.9	25.3	49.0	51.9	28.8	81.8	34.8	36.8	20.4
Player B	94.4	24.0	25.7	40.6	42.7	16.0	55.1	21.2	35.1	19.2

A pair of guards with comparable workloads. One of these players made the second team, while the other didn't even make the third team. Player A holds an edge in every category except turnover percentage--he must have been the one to make the second team. Actually, no.

Player A is Reggie Jackson. Player B is Ish Smith.

Congratulations to Tracy

Well deserved.

I wonder when the last time no unc player made any of the teams (8-20 season?).

first time it's happened since the ACC was formed

Maybe Kris Lang made it in that 8-20 year. Don’t know who else would’ve.

Jason Capel

He’s all they had that year… I ALMOST felt bad for him, due to the level of suck surrounding him.

Almost.

way to go Tracy.

you deserve it.
on another note, did you realize that State has the best hand sign in the conference and one of the best in the nation. wonder if that Wolf Pack in Nevada has copied it. after all, what is one to do with a tar heel (except show it when being run down by a pack of wolves), a devil, a deacon, a tiger, a cavalier, a turtle (fear that), a bee or whatever BC is. even the chop pales in comparison to the wolf head hand sign of State.
at the women’s ACC championship the jumbo scoreboard screen showed each coach doing a cheer with their mascot name. Kelly Harper, who went last, won hands down with her rendition of “wolfpack in the house”. i give Semrau a distant second.

nevada's probably copied it

They’ve already copied our logo. What’s one more thing?

Second Team All-ACC BOOM

The Wolfpack hand sign is unparalleled, but the stationery version with a straight, out-stretched arm is much more suited for guys. Moving the fingers in the biting motion coupled with a bent elbow strikes me as effeminate.
