*-Louisville not eligible for postseason, including ACC Tournament.

Top 10 teams get a bye into the 2nd round of the ACCT.
Top 4 teams get a bye into the quarterfinals.

It's of uttermost importance that we finish in the top 4.

Only 1 gb the 1 seed....

Pitt is a must-win tomorrow night. FSU has been playing better as of late and UNC in Chapel Hill is a tall task. 3-1 in the next 4 would be ideal.

 

[Oh Snap]

10-3 going into the 4 game gauntlet please. That would **** near wrap up a top 4 finish.

Stop it with the must win crap. Every ******* game...you people with the, "this is a must win." No, it isn't. We could lose this game and beat FSU on Sunday and be in the same exact situation. We could lose the next two and beat UNC and ND on the road and be in the same exact situation. Also, a must win for what? We're a game out of first place in the ACC. We're a lock to make the tournament. It's February 9th (tomorrow). Must win? Stop it.

Exactly. There will be no "must win" games for us until March 17. Even if we **** up down the stretch it probably only drops us a few spots in the tournament which really isnt a big deal.

You're definitely right this is not a must win game. However, if the goal is to finish in the top 4 of the ACC we need this game pretty badly along with every other home game. It's just so hard to win on the road in the ACC especially against solid teams. 3 out of next 4 road games are solid teams so we need to win each home game to have the best chance possible of staying in the top 4.

I'm not disagreeing with you, or that sentiment.

Can they win 3 out of the next 7? I think so. Maybe even 4.

 

[Oh Snap]

How do they determine top 4 w UL's post season ban? Does the 5th place team take the 4th spot?

Wut?

8-3 heading into the last 6 games of conference play:

@FSU
VT
@UNC
UVA
Louisville
@ND

Would love to beat FSU and VT and split UVA/UL. ND on the road is tough and UNC in Chapel Hill is a bear of a game.

I hate to say it but I see a 3-4 finish to the season. To steal one @fsu, @unc, @nd or win both UVA and UL would be huge.

4-3 or 5-2. Win all 3 at home and 2 on the road. I don't think we beat FSU on Sunday though.
