ACC Games for Mar 1-3

We like to see Tech beat Duke today and Duke beat UNC on Saturday. Then if there is no other surprise, we will be 7th seed, UNC 8th seed and Duke 9th seed. Let UNC and Duke duel on ACC tournament first round and we likely face NC State.
Then we are rewarded with UVA. Not sure I want that. VT losing Wednesday game does not give them the chance to catch them for the two seed.

Nope. VA Tech

Both VA Tech and UVA have 4 losses. We need UVA lose to Louisville on Saturday so VA Tech gets the 2nd seed.

It’s not the number of losses. It’s the win percentage that determines their standings.

I know but with one more UVA loss, VA Tech will have better win percentage.
 
Nope. We need Duke beat UNC this Saturday so we can get 7th seed. Then UNC will get 8th seed and Duke remains at 9th seed.
We could move up to 6th if that same thing happens and Clemson loses on Saturday

Georgia Tech and Clemson are going to finish above us.

We lose tiebreakers to Clemson unless VPI finishes high

If we beat clemson tonight and they lose on Saturday and unc loses to Duke all 3 of us would be 9-7. We would hold the tiebreaker against both of them because we would be 2-0 verse Clemson and North Carolina and I think we would get the 6 seed. Right?
Assuming no other teams are 9-7

We would be 2-2 vs. UNC and Clemson
UNC would be 1-2
Clemson would be 2-1
 
We don't want Duke winning. If it comes down to looking at us and looking at Duke, they have a win over UVA. We can't sniff anything close to that good of a win. Take them out of the conversation sooner, then get revenge in the ACCT on a neutral floor. Find a way to get one more win at minimum (ideally more).

It all starts tonight. I would rather Duke be closer to the edge or even be neck and neck with them than not getting to play them and they have us in a H2H and the better wins.

I honestly think people are overestimating our bubble position.

Duke is likely out as well.
I think the ACC has 7 teams in now.

FSU/UVA/VPI/UL/Clemson/UNC/ GT

Duke and Syracuse are fighting to be the 8th team.

We need a run in the ACCT to have a chance and would need to beat probably 2 teams in the field to get on the bubble to get in on selection Sunday.

I actually think we have a better chance against UNC than we do Duke.

Duke is a bad matchup for us with their current squad.
UNC can’t shoot a lick if we don’t get killed on the boards we beat them more than they beat us.

I would prefer the 7 seed only if VPI was the 2.

Not overestimating at all. I just think if we are going to sneak in, I don't want it to be SU vs Duke. UNC beating FSU really hurt. If they had lost that game and lost to us I think they become far easier to replace in the bubble.

I also think that due to the lack of non conference games it's very possible that the inflation of some conferences could be providing false confidence in the number of bids they get. It's really hard to gauge how things are going to play out and the Net may not be as telling this year.

You're underestimating it in terms of quality of teams we're up against... that said, we got work to do
