ACC coaches’ support for an all-inclusive NCAA tournament in 2021 earned a response from the NCAA: they are not considering expanding the field, at least not right now. Don’t think anyone will be terribly surprised by that revelation. At this point they haven’t even settled on a calendar for the season.
Elsewhere:
— Grad transfer Daniel Joseph is ready to hit the field for NC State, though he has actually enjoyed the relative isolation of life during the pandemic:
“I’ve been kind of grateful that I’ve been able to have this time to myself and have that tunnel vision to focus on whatever I need to focus on. I feel like that’s been very beneficial to my personal growth and my athletic growth as well.”
Glad this is working out for somebody.
— Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente said yesterday he isn’t sure the Hokies could have played the NC State game as originally scheduled.
Fuente, on if he's glad in retrospect that the NC State game got postponed and the #Hokies aren't playing this weekend: "Yeah, I don't know if we could, to be honest with you. I don't know if we would have made it."

See there, we ended up doing them a favor.
