Greensboro is home to the headquarters of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). The conference was founded in May 1953 in the city. While the schools of the conference are competitive and have produced champions in all intercollegiate sports, basketball has generated some of the nation's most intense rivalries and greatest teams.
The ACC Tournaments were exciting this year as always. Hopefully, you got to watch some of the great basketball. Unfortunately for Greensboro, this year's men's tournament was played in Atlanta. However, the city did host the 2009 Women's ACC Tournament. Here we see a picture of team banners at the Greensboro Coliseum complex. The Coliseum and the ACC will play host for two rounds of this year's men's Division I NCAA Tournament.
The day the idea for the picture came to us, we did not have our camera. Upon returning the next day, cherry blossoms had started blooming. In springtime, nature changes daily! In basketball tournaments, changes are hourly! Congratulations to the ACC Champion Maryland Lady Terrapins and Duke Blue Devils.
Though they don't mean so much to me, I like the photo: so colourful!
