to further throw salt in the wound

All teams should make their conference tournament. That’s just a staple of college basketball to me.

So...we are on the ACCT bubble?

Notre Dame should be out by default until they join for football...

The thing helping in his regard is there are a bunch of mediocre ACC schools as well, that are going to be fighting for spots 11-18 and the top 15. It's not a gimme either way in or out.

Based on KenPom
93 Miami
96 Virginia
101 Wake
105 Syracuse
109 Georgia Tech
114 Cal
134 Virginia Tech
151 Boston College

Get beaten like a drum and Ken Pom goes up 72 points, wow!

You are talking about NET that had us at 177 - that actually improved by 17 to 160, because NET has some mechanical flaws around road games (1.4 factor) where a large margin is expected.

KenPom had us at 100 (not 177) before the Tennessee game, and we fell to 105 .. the math on the KP movements (and you can validly dislike the margin methodology) generally makes sense / can be backed into. NET not always.

 

[Dcuse]

are we even going to make the ACC Tourney this season? This may have been discussed and I just didnt see it.

Will we even have a program next year? I just don't see any way it survives.

On the bright side, it could be the first time since 2003 we win our last game...

oops, yeah, my bad

 

[grepal]

So if we played Kansas and lost, hypothetically we could be like 145. I say we go for it!

If we even make that bubble.

Also 2020! Crazy Covid times. Beat UNC and then rest of season cancelled…

We'll got 10-10 in the ACC the league is trash and REd's apologists will use that to think he deserves another year.

This roster could easily go 14-6 if he prioritized D in terms of coaching.

Rest of the season isn't going to be fun but we will be better after the non conference slate ends.

Is our last game against an NAIA team? Otherwise I am not confident
