Not only are we in

Our last 3 wins are pretty impressive
NC State has won 5 of their last 6 with their only loss coming to Syracuse
Clemson has won 6 of their last 7 with their only loss coming to Syracuse (favored to win again today)
Carolina has won 3 of their last 4 with their only loss coming to Syracuse (favored to win again today)
We. Going get u a seat on the committee
 
Do you think a 1 seed is still on the table if we win the ACCT?

I think we are a 4 seed if we beat UVA, Clemson/GT and FSU - tall task but we have a 15% or so of doing it

Bracketology gave us a 61% chance PRIOR to this stellar performance

Current Bubble Teams​

TeamNCAA Bid%

Colorado St
54.3%

Drake
43.8%

Wichita St
62.0%

Syracuse
61.3%

VA Tech
63.8%

I believe they have us near 90% now of getting in - I'm assuming the committee is watching some of these games - were are not winning on a last second shot - we are kicking ass against teams playing well
 
He is such a SU hater. He will never change his mind.
yup its pretty pathetic cause i looked up the resumes of utah st and st louis and to me its not really comparable at all!!

Wasn't VaTech slotted like a 6 seed on some brackets?
 
This team can win the ACC tournament. They're shooting well enough, they're defending well enough, they're deep enough,and they're playing with energy as a team. That's where things are at now.
 
here is how freaking stupid the Quad system is:

home wins over Clemson, NC and Va Tech are all Quad 2
If we had gone on the road and beaten 13-10 Bowling Green, that is also a Quad 2 win

the committee has to look at the actual wins in each quad, we have some very nice wins that are designated as Q2.
 
Hope they go after UVA like they did to UNC last year in the ACCT. Set things right.
Unc last year and Virginia this year are a little different but yeah

the quad system is wacky...never liked it. Hopefully they can indeed see the forest for the trees...especially this year.
 
I'm sure I'm the only person in America who feels this way but I actually miss the RPI for some reason. I liked following the fluctuation of it after wins and losses.
i much prefer rpi...so theres at least 2 of us. gotta be more.
 
The quad is based on the Net and the Net is skewed because such limited schedules this yr.. really after the committee goes thru its work it only has like 5-10 teams to review and you can go through those schedules pretty easily to see how those teams played and what the yr went like.

once all the teams are in then you seed.. Basing anything on quad 1-2 this yr is just being lazy.. Now quad 4 losses are pretty easy to see as well
 
This is probably a better place for this.

My 2 cents? And I am probably very wrong.

They are in the play in 12 seed as we speak. I think a competitive loss to UVA keeps them there.

A blowout loss to UVA will knock them BACK out.

A win overt UVA moves them to the 10 seed.

Two more wins I think gets them to an 8/9 game.

I think the ceiling with tourney march and tourney win would be a 7 or so. I dont think we could get any higher than that due to some of the negatives on the resume that won't go away even with 3 more wins.

Watch this be one of those wacky seed years where on Selection Sunday we are announced as a 6 or 7 seed, and a conference like the Big Ten or 12 whom everyone valued highly during the season gets stuck with a bunch of lower seeds

I don't see this iteration Hoo's team as that strong, they are very good and balanced, but they have stumbled a bit. They just jumped the Orange when they were at their weakest, time for payback.
