ACC mini-tournament!

We will likely still play some combination of Liberty, Radford, Longwood, and JMU. At some point, that might have to be questioned, especially playing some twice. Playing a mid-week game against an SEC team as the weather is better is nice. Whether home and away. Mary Nutter - Basically 2 games a day? There could be some teams that come to Salem, just as some would go to harder places to play. The ACC should consider a mini-tournament to get more ACC teams to play against each other. Imagine a round robin over a weekend where teams that don't play each other as part of a regular series are matched up. VT might play 3+ games against Louisville, Stanford, and.or FSU or a weaker team

Tremendous research. Pete knows that, though.
