I think there are lots of good teams in our resume range.  Should be a good tourney and definitely lots of balance.  I don't think there will be any 'bad' per se teams in the field.

That being said we need a win or two in the ACC Tourney if we end up .500 in conference.  Conference record is not valued as much as people think here especially with unbalanced schedules.  Committee members have documented this.   Notre Dame will be given a break for games sans Jackson which means our W against them shouldn't be valued as much.  Fair and makes sense obviously.  We didn't get much done in conference regarding quality wins.  Precisely why the debacle on Sat really stings.  We have the Duke win which is solid.

Curious what people think about Ohio State.   Right now (10-5) they have three games left.  MSU twice and Iowa.  Let's say they go 1-2.  11-7 in B10.  By everyone's conference record logic they should get in but will they?  Their conference performance w0uld be similar to ours if they end up 11-7...basically two good wins (one vs Michigan sans LeVert) and a win vs either MSU or Iowa potentially but a bunch of average conference wins.  I don't know.  I think these are all three difficult games for us coming up.  Some work will be need to be done in ACC Tourney to bee safe, regardless.
