Tell us what you really think, Jim.
Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim was more focused on the location of the ACC tournament than his loss to Miami on Wednesday.
Boeheim: There's "no value. none." to playing in Greensboro. "I'm saying this because I don't give a shit. That's what's right."

The tournament is currently scheduled to return to Greensboro, N.C., in 2020, but the controversy over the HB2 law may prevent that from happening. Greensboro itself offered a quick-witted response.
.@AdamZagoria @ACCSports We kindly disagree. But I guess you can lose in the 1st round anywhere. At least it's a quick ride home.

Eventually Boeheim turned his attention to his team's chances at making the NCAA tournament. Syracuse snuck in last year, and Boeheim thinks this team's resume is even better.
After falling to 18-14 with a loss to Miami, the Orange will be anxiously awaiting Selection Sunday.
"Our profile is better this year than it was last year," Boeheim said after the loss, according to Jeff Borzello of ESPN.
Though, he quickly reminded everyone his opinion is irrelevant.
"Doesn't matter what I think," he added. "I expect the committee to make a decision. My opinion doesn't matter."
The Orange went on a remarkable run to the Final Four last year, so the rest of the field will likely be crossing its fingers Syracuse doesn't sneak in. Boeheim and company have some impressive wins over the likes of Duke, Florida State, and Virginia, but have also dropped contests to Boston College and St. John's.
