Putting this season into perspective

Question is will we still have Lucas in a couple years? We're not used to having a coach who will be in high demand.

The University of Houston scares me the most. They are a quality program, Lucas has very strong ties to that city, and Kelvin Sampson is 70. The good news is that they apparently struggle big time with the NIL side of things.

Whatever, our AD oughta be ready to address the demand for Lucas, which is undoubtedly coming.

Even the NBA could be a problem if we have some years of sustained success like coach Ham. Especially considering that Lucas family ties with the NBA.

I’m not sure about the seed but last night the announcers said we clinched a double bye. I’m just not sure how many teams receive a double bye.

Four teams get a double bye. As I see it, right now we could catch UVA record-wise for the #2 seed with a win in our last game and a UVA loss. But, UVA wins the tiebreaker with us.

UNC is at #4. They could catch us by beating Duke again and us losing to the Ville. We'd still, I think, hold the tie-braker over them for the #3 seed.

Yeah with tie breakers I think the seeding is locked Duke, UVA, us, and UNC.

Finishing third in conference this year is just so astronomically and outrageously good…

It is. 1 through 4 are locked. We are the 3 seed next week no matter what happens this weekend. First game should be Thursday against the winner of the 6 vs 15 game that’s the day before.

Problem is the gap between 6 to 7,8,9 seeds this year seems to be pretty big. Short of us making the ACC Final I think. 7 is our ceiling. I think we could’ve snuck up to a 6 if we had beaten UVA.

Win our last game and then another or two in the ACC tourney then we're legit in the hunt for a 6 seed. Here's the link to the Bracket Matrix, it shows we're a solid 7 right now.

I guess the caveat is the teams above us in their model would have to not improve at all in the bare minimum. I just want to avoid the 8 line. We could be a sneaky Sweet 16 pick, if we get a Michigan State, Houston 2 seed. Or really any of the three seeds. Going against a one in the Round of 32 is going to be a tall mountain to climb.
