I think if we keep winning, it’ll sort itself out. Take down Wake on Saturday and we should absolutely be a 4 at worst.

They are making sure we pay for that Ga Tech loss which they should. No excuse to lose that game.

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 their games

Should be on the 3 line. I could’ve sworn I read that we had a top 15 schedule. Pair that with a ton of Q1 wins, and I don’t see how a 4 seed isn’t already locked up (barring essentially a winless end to the year).

Xavier is tough. If Miami could close out the year 4-0 and win a couple games in the ACC tournament then they should be a 3 seed.

ESPN commentator Jay Bilas heaped praise on the Hurricanes during “College Game Day” during the weekend: “I think Miami is developing into another Elite Eight team under Jim Larranaga. They’ve got guys that can score all over the floor. They play with freedom, and they’re shot-makers. They can go into isolation, they run good stuff, but they can also go on their own and get a bucket. I’d say they’re looking like the best team in the ACC right now.”

We should be higher, but I guess we'll always be Miami.

if Miami closes the year out 4-0 (would be 10 game win streak) and wins a couple of games in the ACC tournament (that would put us in the finals) I believe a 3 seed would be a lock with a possible 2.

3 seems doable. We would need help to get a 2 seed and beat Virginia again the ACC tourny.

If we win the regular season, then ***** the ACC tourney.. win one , maybe two .. get out and get rested

we're winning the ACC tourney

 

[TheOriginalCane]

we're winning the ACC tourney

AND the regular season...next three are all winnable (2 at home), setting us up for a Pitt "winner-take-all" game. At home. Where we are undefeated this year.

VT is a snake pit. That’s gonna be tough.

 

[jackedaround]

all we need to do is win 2 more and 1 in the acc tourney and we are a lock 5 seed. if you want to move up to the 3 line you are going to need to only 1 loss and to make the final of the acc tourney. i dont think a 2 seed is possible unless we win out. to me the difference between a 2 and 3 is irrelevant. 3 and 4/5 much more relevant. you have to beat good teams in the NCAA - not a single team sucks.

That’s the one game I have my eye on. Win that and we finish on a nice streak going into the Acct.

Random crow eating; I was ready to run wooga off to the portal after the Kansas game last year. His improvement has been remarkable

Of the three teams you mention. I'd fear Xavier the most. They have a combo of skilled big men and very nice guards, much like the Kansas team that eliminated us in the Elite Eight.

I think Purdue is the least of those teams. Other than Edey, I'm not that impressed (also think the B1G as a conference always seems to fare more poorly than it seems they should). OTOH, the Big East and Big 12 teams are tournament-tough.

If we make it to the ACC title game, we’re definitely getting a 3 seed IMO.

Jeez that early huh? I started once conference play started but there's no sense repeating myself going forward. He's made strides but there's still more work that needs to be done.

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.
