ACC Adds Three
Schools and USA Team Advances to Quarterfinals of Basketball World Cup
ESPN reports that the Atlantic Coast
Conference (ACC) has added three schools – Stanford, Cal and SMU – bringing the
league to 18 members. These additions are in all sports and will begin in the
2024-25 school year. ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips said:
"We are thrilled to welcome three world-class institutions to the
ACC, and we look forward to having them compete as part of our amazing league.
Throughout the evaluation process, the ACC Board of Directors, led by
[University of Virginia] President [James] Ryan, was deliberate in prioritizing
the best possible athletic and academic experience for our student-athletes and
in ensuring that the three universities would strengthen the league in all
possible ways. Cal, SMU and Stanford will be terrific members of the ACC and we
are proud to welcome their student-athletes, coaches, staff and entire campus
community, alumni and fans."
The USA team struggled but obtained a
85-73 victory over Montenegro at the World Cup, advancing to the
quarter-finals. The Associated
Press reports that “they trailed by a point at the half, didn’t take the
lead for good until midway through the third quarter and still had a contest on
their hands until the final minutes.” U.S. coach Steve Kerr said:
“These games are going to happen. And you have to be able to fight
through them. I thought our guys did a great job of that.”
