I was looking at the ACC tournament, since a lot of conversation has revolved around a 2-2 finish and then do we need a win in Brooklyn?

Anyway, there's a lot of games left (duh), but going off the Ken Pom projections, we are projected to finish 10-8, in a tie for 7th with Virginia Tech.  I think we can agree 10-8 is a pretty likely finish for us, no?  Anyway, we lost to Virginia Tech, so that would drop us to 8th, which gives us a matchup on Wednesday at noon (someone is gonna play hooky from work for that one) against the 9 seed, which is projected to be Miami, at 9-9.  Georgia Tech and Wake are projected for 8-10, so I suppose it's possible they get in there instead.

So long story short, assuming a 2-2 finish that has us squarely on the bubble entering the conference tournament, we are likely looking at a game against Miami, with Ga Tech and Wake as other possibilities.  It's obviously difficult to project the bubble out that far, but I would feel reasonably confident that, presuming a 2-2 finish to the season, with a win over, say, Miami in round 1, we'd feel pretty good about landing a bid.  (We'd also get a shot against the #1 seed the next day to really solidify things
