Greensboro, North Carolina, isn't done with Jim Boeheim.

After the Syracuse coach said Wednesday that having the ACC tournament in the city had "no value," the city's minor league team announced Thursday that it would hold Jim Boeheim (No) Value Night on April 11.

The Greensboro Grasshoppers, the Class A affiliate of the Miami Marlins, will give away $20 worth of food and drinks to anyone who shows up with a driver's license that lists Syracuse on it.

The team's president and general manager, Donald Moore, who grew up in Greensboro and has been in his position with the team for 15 years, took Boeheim's comments personally.

"I thought we ought to do something to tell him we don't appreciate what he said," Moore told MiLB.com. "He rankled a lot of feathers around here yesterday, and we figured we'd step in and defend our fair city."

After his team lost its opening game to Miami in the ACC tournament, which is being played this year at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Boeheim said he liked the idea of playing in the bigger markets.

"There's no reason to play in Greensboro," Boeheim said. "The only reason they play there is because the league offices are there. It's always been there, and there are like 150 people who like to have meetings. It should not be there. There's no value to playing in Greensboro. None."

In response, the city of Greensboro, which has hosted the conference tournament 26 times, tweeted: "We kindly disagree. But I guess you can lose in the 1st round anywhere. At least it's a quick ride home."

The loss put Syracuse (18-14) firmly on the bubble for the NCAA tournament. ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi has the Orange as one of the last four teams in.
