We went in March last year during the conference tournaments. Check out Circa if you have a chance. Sports lovers dream.

Ive been...amazing!!!

Stopped reading there. Win on Saturday and get a game in the ACC tourney and we will be a 4 seed.

No we won't. We need to win the ACC tourney to get a 4 seed at this point.

 

[Canes1968]

Say we: Beat PITT @Home (Quad 2 Win)

Then beat Wake in the ACCT tourney (Quad 2)

Then Duke (Quad 1)
And UVA for the Chip (Quad 1)

All matchups above are based on current seeding/my own projections

But that would put us at 27-6 with 9 Quad 1 Wins, 6-0 in quad 2’s as well as 11-1 in our last 12. Do we think that’s enough to get us a 3 seed?

No, virtually no shot at a 3 seed at this point. Quad 4 loss will kill us.

It’s amazing to me that knowing Miami got to the elite 8 last year despite a average seeding and yet it’s taken to such a serious degree, it’s almost laughable

Exactly. UNC made it to the Championship game as, what, an 8 or 9 seed? What seed was Butler when they went back to back in the Final game? Not to mention UVA as the #1 Tourney seed and losing in a rout to UMBC in the Tourney's first round.

It’s clearly not about the seed but about the match ups. You can be an 8 seeds with an easier road because you match up really well against your bracket.

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 against a desperate WVU), Creighton (an 11 loss team), SDSU, and St. Mary’s.

Beat Pitt and win one game in the ACCT I think we are are locked for no worse than a 5 seed. The ACC being down has completely hurt our perception. Either way, I’m sure this will motivate the team come March - they’re going to be under -seeded either way

The big 12 love is insane. Teams jumping us because big 12 losses are seen as better than acc wins. I still don't buy the ACC being that bad.

They were saying the same things last year and then everyone was shocked at acc tourney performance. I remember the announcers talking about how Auburn was probably worn out after their tough sec conference play when we were smoking them last year.

They have us currently in Albany playing ORU... one team I'd rather avoid in the first round

With a possible 2nd round matchup with Uconn, which would be a road game in Albany. That would be a brutal draw.

It’s clearly not about the seed but about the match ups. You can be an 8 seeds with an easier road because you match up really well against your bracket.

Exactly, so all this concern about a 4 vs 5 seed or whatever is essentially meaningless.

the Kansas team that just got smoked last night? I hate these analysts.

even if we end up 4 or 5, I want us in Orlando

 

[jackedaround]

if we end up in kansas bracket again this **** is rigged. it is insane to do that to us again.

 

[USNAVYCANE]

Highest seed we can get even with winning the ACC is a 3 most likely we end up a 4

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

Rick Flair baby, “to be the man you gotta beat the man!”

 

[JZCane0825]

Lunardi is a hack. We are a 4 at worst right now

 

[Canes1968]

Wrong. Highest seed we can get is a 4.

 

[RBradleigh]

Wrong. Highest seed we can get is a 4.

My how worlds change, that means being regular season “Co-champ” and Tourney champ in the mighty ACC Basketball conference which now includes Syracuse & Louisville and only worthy of a 4 seed. WTF
