Message: [QUOTE="domestu, post: 4991388, member: 1089"] Clemson won 23 games and finished tied for 3rd in the ACC with a 14-6 conference record last year. North Carolina also won 20 games and had a winning ACC record in 2023. Neither school made the NCAAs. Virginia has won 20 games and is 11-6 in league play this season and has not locked down a tournament bid yet because it is a down year for the ACC. Total wins and winning league records lead to at-large bids when a major conference is really strong, but are much less relevant when the league is weaker. The ACC got nine teams into the tournament in 2018 and Syracuse got a bid with a 19-12 (8-10 ACC) regular season record because of the strength of the ACC that year. SU also defeated a lot of quality opponents that made the Big Dance that year. North Carolina is the only team we have beaten that is definitely going to make the tournament next month. Go Cuse!
