ACC Tournament Projections 6.0

[Marsh01]

Again Louisville in the standings but not seeded.

So here is the deal and I think I have it right but if I dont please correct me. There is a 4 way tie for places 6-9. Its a round robin between those team on how they fared against one anther. Based on that here is how the 4 teams stack up:

Pittsburgh 3-2
Clemson 2-1
Virginia Tech 2-2
Syracuse 1-3

So based on that Pitt would be the 6 seed, Clemson the 7, VT the 8 and Syracuse the 9 heading into Saturdays games.

Lots can happen on Saturday if Clemson, Virginia Tech or Pittsburgh get beat and we win we obviously move ahead of these teams. Notre Dame losing will also throw a monkey wrench into it as we would pass them if we end up tied with them. I still think we are going to be in the 8/9 game when it is all said and done. Possible opponents will be either Pittsburgh, Clemson or Virginia Tech or even Notre Dame in the first round,


Standings:

1. North Carolina 13-4
2. Miami (FL) 13-4
3. Virginia 12-5
Louisville 12-5
4. Duke 11-6
5. Notre Dame 10-7________Buy into the Quarterfinals
6. Pittsburgh 9-8
7. Clemson 9-8
8. Virginia Tech 9-8
9. Syracuse 9-8
10. Georgia Tech 7-10______Buy into the Second Round
11. Florida State 7-10
12. NC State 5-12
13. Wake Forest 2-16
14. Boston College 0-17

Go BC or go Ga. Tech. Want to get out of that noon tip off

 

[MickGoCuse5]

First things first, go CUSE!

Also, the ND and Clemson games are at Noon, so should either/both get upset, we'll know whether or not we can hop up into the 6 or 7 seed with a win (Pitt plays at 2 as well)!

Actually I want to avoid Pitt at all cost so if we get beat we want to root for Miami and Pitt to win.

I'd like another shot at Miami, so assuming we are int he 8-9 game, I'm hoping for Miami to win and Duke to beat UNC.

Though in a perfect world, i would like to get out of the noon slot...

Thanks for your continued efforts in posting these updates, it's much appreciated.

Seeing our combined putrid 1-3 record against those particular 6-9 seeded teams actually makes me a bit nauseous. Especially, when considering two of those teams are on the outside looking in relative to their NCAA chances.

Me too. FWIW, two of those losses were without Boeheim. Not saying it would be different, but could have been. Who knows.

Yeah, hopefully the committee does take this into "consideration" on Selection Sunday. Although, that Clemson loss at home should've never gone to OT if we had only shot poorly vs. very poorly from the charity stripe that game. I believe we were like 11-20 or something to that effect.

 

[Jasoncuse]

If we lose to FSU and get the Noon game, we might be destined to lose that as well. This is reminding me of the 2008 season, where we faded at the end of the regular season, then got smacked in the Noon game of the BET and were sent to the NIT.

We absolutely can not lose these next two if we want to play in the NCAA's. Gotta get at least 1 more win prior to selection Sunday.

I agree with those who have posted earlier that if we can't win either of these games I'm not sure we belong in the tournament. 5th year seniors need to step up one more time and insure this does not happen.
