The 2020-21 Fake Nunes Equation of Tumult (#FNET)

You wanted something more ridiculous than RPI and the NCAA gave you NET. We give you more ridiculousness so we’re bringing back a revised FNET metric.

Head Coach Bench Attire and Mask:

No ACC HC was better prepared for casual sideline attire than Mike Brey. He’s been #TeamNoTie for a while but apparently he spent no time preparing on the proper way to wear a mask.

Brey could have learned that last part from watching Jim Boeheim who seems to wear his mask correctly right up until the time someone gets within six feet of him then he yanks it down. Good thing someone designed the clear mask so we could read his lips....

6.3/10 Josh Pastner stole the mask smash but if Mike Brey comes out in shorts during a lake effect snow storm, Boeheim might throw the mask at the sight of those pasty white legs.

Prediction:

Prepare for plenty of trash talk from Joe Girard and Prentiss Hubb in this one. Girard usually responds well to this talk so we think he puts together two solid halves of basketball tomorrow. The Orange hold on and take a needed home win over the Irish.
