Correct me if I'm wrong, but are we a lock for the ACCT?

[Eric15]

The last three teams get left out. If we lose the next two to Louisville and Pitt, we are 6-12 worst case scenario in conference. We beat ND so we hold the tiebreaker over them. BC beat us but they have 13 losses minimum. GT has 14 losses so they're out of the picture.

I know I know, "we suck, we probably won't win a game, let's get this over with, yada yada." I'm just asking objectively if we can miss the ACCT. Thanks in advance.

 

[Guinness]

Does it even matter?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

What if we fire Red, and the players vote to skip the ACCT?

What if we don't fire Red, and the players don't bother to show up anyways?

 

[jncuse]

For some reason when I was looking quickly yeaterday I was thinking only one of Pitt or ND would need to catch us.. but it’s both. So we are ready to go.

 

[jncuse]

What is clear right now is that the #1 and #2 seeds are praying hard that Syracuse is on the opposite side of the bracket.

Not sure why you even care

 

[Briancuse]

I believe if we are in a three way tiebreaker with pitt and ND since pitt and cuse both beat ND, ND would be out.

I was just curious. And for whatever it's worth, teams worse than us have made miracle conference tourney runs.

True, but they weren't checked out. Some of our guys seem pretty much done.

We just need to shut it down.

It looks like we already have.

But in more of a “quiet quitting” sorta way.

One less game before Red is fired.

In P4 or prior to that P6 conferences. Worse than us and winning their conference? Assuming we go 7-11.

I would say since 2000 it has happened once. Georgia in the SEC, has to be 15 years ago. Its not multiple teams as far as I remember, but stand to be corrected.

Fair enough. A team* worse than us has made a miracle conference tourney run.

You are an optimistic guy... nothing wrong with that.

From about 2000-2023 it was extremely rare for a P6 team that would have been out of the tournament otherwise, get in by winning their tournament. Georgia may have been the only one.

That being said in 2024, all of NC ST, Oregon, and Colorado played their way in by winning major conference tournaments. 2024 was a crazy year. So there is recent precedent for teams playing their win into the NCAA tournament from power conferences.

Those teams were all better than our expected 7-11, and were all at around .500, but they were not powerhouses either.

2 more games.

Going to be interesting to see if we can win one, and avoid a second consecutive losing season.

Which is an insane thing to type, given the talent / depth / size this team has. There's only one thing they're lacking, which is why they are staring down the barrel of 2 prospective losing seasons in a row.

3 more - seems that we clinched that ACC Tourney bid at some point in the past week.

Losing on a Tuesday afternoon in front of 2,500 fans in some god forsaken southern arena. A tradition like no other

Losing on a Tuesday afternoon in front of 2,500 fans in some god forsaken southern arena. A tradition like no other

Breakfast at Waffle House
Dinner at Bojangles
Drinking to oblivion
Late night meat at Waffle House

Reminds me of a time during the Big East Tournament that I had pizza three times during the day from three different pizza joints. Lunch, Dinner, Late Night.

Also a tradition like no other.

I think the scenario, which is a bit of a long shot, is we end up in a tie with ND and Pitt at 6-12 meaning 2 of the 3 teams make the ACCT. I’m fairly sure we’d be in because we’d be 2-1 against the group. However, I have no desire to actually research that scenario because I’ve given up watching this team this year. I highly doubt the win an ACCT game, so it really doesn’t matter.

As down as I am right now and in anger last night saying we could miss it, I believe you are right. Three way tie between those three cuse and Pitt would get in based on beating nd.

This team isn’t far off of preseason predictions. I hate to break it to you guys. I was optimistic at 19-12, but all of the beat writers on Cuse.com had them similar type of predictions. They brought back Autry. The beat writers knew he can’t coach offense or defense well enough to be anything other than then mediocre. The were 68 in the preseason Kenpom, and I think they were predicted to be 11th in the ACC. Last I checked they were 78 in the net. To me, this isn’t a surprise.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

ACC officials went through the scenarios and determined Syracuse would advance to the tournament regardless of the ties.

The key is Syracuse’s regular-season win over Notre Dame.

As of Monday morning, Syracuse would get the 14th seed in the ACC tournament with a first-round game against No. 11 seed Stanford on Tuesday night.

The 11-14 game would tipoff at 7 p.m. on the ACC Network. The winner would advance to face the No. 6 seed on Wednesday. For now, N.C. State occupies the 6-seed line.

They haven’t shownup for two months. What’s the difference?
