    They’re a tough conference. Before this past decade they used to be good in the 2000s and early 2010s but always choked in the NCAAT. Then they fell into irrelevance until last year where they got 4 teams in but had an awful showing. ACC Tournament Teams: Miami, Duke, UVA, Pitt, NCSU, Clemson...

    With certainty: Miami wins that game with Omier. We match up well against them and Omier is critical in that game plan. Even without him we took it down to the last minute, questionable officiating side. First game we lost to them Wong barely played and didn’t play well because he had the flu...

    If they’re giving us anything worse than a 5 seed it’s clear that they think the ACC sucks, they think Miami is overrated, and that they care about metrics too much. If we had won the ACCT, what seed would we have gotten? A 4? Has there ever in history been an ACC regular season and tournament...

    The potential 12 seeds are so tough. Not saying we wouldn’t win or match up well, but jfc…Oral Roberts, VCU, Drake, and 31-win Charleston … All those 5-12 games will be close and intense, something we are used to but I’d like to avoid. Then again, winning it gives you some momentum and...

    Yea, I’m resigned to the 5 seed but these matchups would be awful. I don’t want to face Indiana, not that they’re not beatable, but when they’re on they’re on. And yea, would like to avoid Kansas if we were to make it to Sweet 16

    WVU beats Iowa State. ISU now 2-8 their last 10, 17-12 overall. 5 seed ahead of us according to Lunardi and many others (lol) so this helps

    Yea I agree but I think that is true for most of the teams seeded 1-7 sans Tennessee/Iowa State because they really just don’t have shooters

    Jerry Palm (CBS) has us as a 5 seed. Lunardi newest bracket dropped us 2 seed lines, from a high 4 to the highest 6 seed. Harsh punishment for a last second loss and don’t think that reflects reality. The four #5 seeds ahead of us: Iowa State, who’s 2-7 in their last 9 (lol, play tonight...

    That’s fair. We are also getting favorable results today: Illinois and Northwestern lost. They’re consensus 6/7 seeds, so they wouldn’t jump us. We are also an impressive 7-1 in February, playing our best ball until that lapse. I also think Pitt drops the game at ND. ND has played incredibly...

    We were consensus 4 seed before this awful loss. Will most likely move to 5 seed, with chance for 4 seed. 3 seed unlikely at this point

    Technically this is probably right but it’s all but assured we are Top 4. Teams that can pass/tie us if we lose out (not considering tiebreakers, just the basics): - Duke: VT, NCSU, UNC - Clemson: Cuse, NCSU, UVA, ND - NCSU: Wake, Clemson, Duke Essentially some guaranteed losses for the top...

    4/5 seed locations: Orlando and Albany 3 seed locations: Greensboro, Des Moines, and Columbus 2 seed locations: Sacramento and Denver Should we just stay on the 4/5 seed line to play close to home until the Sweet 16? Greensboro is the only other good alternative here

    Obviously already mentioned today, but Lunardi moved us down to a 5. Makes sense given the mock Top 16 release but doesn’t make sense given 6 wins in a row lol Here’s the projected bracket. The #4 seeds ahead of us? Indiana (@ Mich St), Xavier (L against Nova), Gonzaga, Marquette (@...

    Saturday is a huge game for Wake. They’re a solid team that imo should be in NCAAT, but most projections have them in the First or Next Four Out. A win over us on Saturday could propel them to Last Four In territory, so they’ll be motivated. Have to be ready to play from the jump.

    Morning Lunardi 5 seed in Orlando. I have to be honest - this isn’t a bad draw at all. Texas is probably the most dangerous team. I’m unsure of Purdue, I think they’re really good but really not sure if they’re great. Xavier would be a tough R2 matchup, but admittedly haven’t watched much of...

    Moved up 9 spots in NET, now #30 I think this team is a 4-5 seed (plus I really want them to play in Orlando) but metrics say ACC is bad so 🤷🏽‍♂️

    I’ve actually watched them frequently as well and in person while visiting a friend. House is a problem. Coach Pitino is a good coach. They’re not that big though, and they don’t seem to have someone like an Omier. Wouldn’t be a great matchup but certainly don’t think they have an advantage. I...

    Most recent Lunardi Bracketology. I’d argue we are more of a 5 right now but ACC is just not going to get the respect it deserves. Playing UNM wouldn’t be awful but don’t like that Round of 32 matchup and also playing in Sacramento would be worst case scenario 😂

    Most recent Lunardi has us as a 6 seed facing 11 Maryland in the West region. Matches up with 3 seed Iowa State Today’s result will have Iowa State a 2 seed at this point. I think Miami is being disrespected here but what’s new
