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:

Did the ACC get a new mask sponsor last week?

Seriously look at this? Was there an announcement we missed? That would explain Jim Boeheim’s sudden switch from the clear mask he had most of this year

Advantage: Push

NBA 2K Playability:

Dereon Seabron and Kadary Richmond could take this one to the playground and settle it with some 1 on 1.

Advantage: Syracuse

Basketball Program Hashtag:

None vs None

Still nothing even though #ThisisMarch

Advantage: Push

ACC Social Media Favorites:

Manny Bates vs Marek Dolezaj

A lot of ACC media will want to see Dolezaj return next season and because they don’t want to say good-bye he gets the nod here

Advantage: Syracuse

7.7/10 This game has significant implications so if for some reason it’s getting out of hand for the Orange look for the crafty veteran to dip into his motivational bag of tricks.

Prediction:

Syracuse won the first two games and you know what they say about beating teams three times in one season.....NCAA Tournament teams do that so we say Syracuse finds a way to start moving on up to the right side of the bubble watch. Yeah moving on up to the right side......someone get Boeheim to Dennys for some pie.
