I have been saying we just have to win today and have Wake lose. Also, noted that the 8/9 game (Miami W) could also strength our chances.
Beat U of L and we are in regardless.
Wish I knew who the clown thumbdowner is on me posting that last night.

I doubt we make the NCAA field even with wins over Duke and Louisville. Based upon all I have read about teams with similar records we would have to win the ACC tourney to get a spot. NIT is where Clemson is headed based upon the latest projections.
Go Tigers!

I'd love to be wrong

But I just don't see it.
We were squarely out of consideration heading into the tournament, and I just don't think 1 or 2 quality wins in the tournament is going to be enough. Historically a team which is definitively on the outside looking in (which I believe we were, I know some disagree) doesn't get in by making a small run in the conference tournament.
Honestly, I don't think we get in without winning the whole dang ACC tournament. I'd love to be wrong though.

Depends on what teams in front of us do...
We need a lot of help along with winning 2 more games.
I think we have to beat Duke and UL to have a shot at all. Even then we need teams on that list I just opsted to lose.

2 more wins and we are in! It is possible.

I feel better about possibly beating Duke than Louisville. Louisville is kind of peaking. They are both games that we could possibly win though. Anyway, would just a Duke victory get us in?

I think a win over Duke pushes us into last 4 in
Mar 8, 2017, 10:25 AM
|

however, I don't think we stay there if we lose to UL. A couple of teams will surely pass us. Now if NYC suddenly inacts some anti- LGBT, Women, or Minority law and the ACC pulls the plug before we play UL then we would have a chance with the Duke win and no further losses. Our chances of winning the entire tourney are better than NYC doing that though.

Well Duke has won 7 out of there last 10 , and it's been a pretty tough bunch of games .
I believe they are healthier than they have been all season.
Would not surprise me if the Dookies didn't win the ACCT.

No way ACC gets 12 teams in and we are the 12th best team.

we are considered 11th
Mar 8, 2017, 11:07 AM

at this point .....GT is done. WF is probably in but if we win 2 and they lose today then we possibly could pass them given our 2 head to heads. Although I don't see it really being us vs them. 2 wins by us and I'd say 75% chance we are in as the 11th team. We have some good #s, most of our games have gone to the wire, we lost 2 early season losses that they will not weigh heavily given the injuries and Thomas not being eligible yet. Win today and we're squarely on the bubble -- win today and tomorrow and we're still on the bubble but on the right side unless there is mass chaos elsewhere.
