[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 290866, member: 1199"] Let's assume for a moment you are correct that VT winning hurts our chances. Their record is 17-7 vs. our 14-10 record. If they win out at home and get swept on the road, their record will be 20-10 (9-9 in the ACC). But, two of their remaining road games are at BC and at Pitt. I could see them winning both. Given their schedule, it will take a monumental collapse for them to be left out. Plus, their RPI is 37. We are not competing with VT for a slot. It is more likely we are competing with Wake and Miami for a bid, unless the selection committee awards the ACC 11 slots (which I think is unlikely). Let's look at Wake first. Their RPI is 31 and they have home games against Pitt and Louisville, with road games at Clemson, at Duke and at VT. If they lose three games, their record will be 17-13. Another problem is that UL will be tough in W-S and all of those road games could be losses. In spite of their RPI, Wake could be in trouble if they cannot get a 3rd win before the ACC tournament. Miami has an RPI of 49 this morning and a 16-8 record. They play us and Clemson at home this week, then have UVA, VT and FSU on the road and Duke at home. If they cannot beat us in Coral Gables Wednesday night, their road to the NCAA tournament looks very difficult. Now look at us. Our RPI is 76! If we get in it will be in spite of our RPI, so getting wins is paramount for us. I do think we have a decent shot with an 18-12 record, but that means we have to hold service at home and win one of our road games. As I said in another thread, of road games at Miami, ND and Syracuse, Miami may be our best shot. Others think we could win in South Bend. But either way we have our work cut out for us with a very thin roster. [/QUOTE]
