This game reminded me of the Cornell game from last year.

If things haven’t changed, while there’s no final AP poll, there is a final coaches poll. Any chance we finish #2 if UConn wins by 20+ tonight? Conversely, any chance we finish #4 due to Cinderella love for FAU?

Back in 2010, when we were seeded 12th out of 12, we made a run to the semifinals, and almost took out top seeded Duke. We had a 4-12 conference record entering the tournament. Duke was 13-3.

That doesn't matter. If we win the ACC tournament, they'll still put 10 loss Baylor and 11 loss Indiana above us on the seed line. Makes no sense, but watch it happen. Also, I echo what someone else said, the projected 12 seeds look a **** of a lot more dangerous than the projected 13 seeds...

Katie Meier teams consistently underperform in the NCAA tournament. No Sweet 16 appearances in 9 tournaments. I hope this works as a reverse jinx.

Johnny Hemsley, John Salmons, Mario Bland, Vernon Jennings, and the rest of the 2000 Big East Co-Champions team may disagree with you. They did not have the tiebreaker with Syracuse.

As much as a lot of us complained about the refs in the Va Tech game looking at every miniscule thing in the last minute, I really would've appreciated them tonight, as they would've reversed the last 3 pointer. It would've taken them 4-6 minutes to do so, but they would've done it.

This year's Loyola is Oral Roberts (even if they wind up a 12 instead of an 11). Which is kind of unfair to Oral Roberts to say that, as Oral Roberts was just in the Sweet 16 as a 15 seed 2 years ago, and almost pulled a St. Peters a year before St. Peters did it. They took Arkansas to the...

UVa lost to Houston. They did beat Baylor and Illinois on a neutral court in Vegas, but they lost to Houston in Charlottesville.

ESPN Bubble Watch now has us listed as a lock to make the tournament. Which I believe means that even if we somehow lose every remaining game, we would still get in. Only 21 teams have that designation.

I'm a little psyched based on our current win streak, so I'm going to type way more than I should. I started following the team in 94-95, so I remember all these seasons well. I'm not going to give my answer to the OP's question, but instead I'm going to focus on our actual NCAA tournament...

The same ACC schedulers who gave Duke 6 days off before our first match-up?

Vtech has too many losses to be a bubble team, even if they get hot. Funny thing is they were in almost this exact same spot at this time last year, got hot, probably too little too late to get at an large, but won the ACC tourney to automatically get in. Then promptly lost to Texas.

Pitt's results so far this year look kind of similar to where we were in early January last season. If I recall, rankings-wise, we peaked at 26 after the Duke win, right at the end of this same week last year. Pitt already has one more loss than we did at that point, but if they beat Clemson...

If we maintain our success, what do we have to do to be sent to Orlando for the first weekend of the tournament? Get seeded somewhere on the 1 to 4 line? Is that how it works?

Wong with 22 at half, wow. I remember Steve Rich scoring 43 I think against St. Johns in the mid-90s, but I think that went multiple OTs. Any other players go over 40 in the Hamilton/Clark/Haith/Coach L eras? Maybe McClinton?

Based on the disrespect we have always gotten, I fully expect to be somewhere between 26 and 30 at best, while the pollsters put Va Tech at #25 for beating UNC today, even though UNC hasn't beaten a decent team all year.

I think we are safely in. I think we’d have to lose to Boston College AND have Virginia Tech or Virginia win the tournament to not get in. I don’t think a loss to Wake hurts, and if we somehow lose to BC, I think Wake Forest is the odd team out, not us—unless UVa or Va Tech steals a bubble...

Everyone saying around 15 is stating very reasonable points in support thereof. Nonetheless, I'm expecting #23. Gary Parrish with CBS Sports has us at 25.

We overcame a double digit deficit in that UConn game, too. Man that Purdue game in the NCAA tourney that year still haunts me. We laid a total egg. Back to tonight.....great win!
