Tourney Stats

[BC2007]

I've been debating whether or not I want BC to beat Clemson or just tank the season so that Skinner gets canned. I figured I do some research into Al's tournament record. The results don't look so bad from an ACC perspective, but I'd like to think we can be a top 40 program. Since Skinner's first season (2001) as head coach, the following 38 teams have made it to the elite 8:

Kansas - 5
Connecticut - 4
Michigan State - 4
North Carolina - 4
Arizona - 3
Texas - 3
UCLA - 3
Memphis - 3
Louisville - 3
Oklahoma - 3
Duke - 2
Illinois - 2
Kentucky - 2
Villanova - 2

George Mason - 1
Georgia Tech - 1
Indiana - 1
Kent State - 1
LSU - 1
Marquette - 1
Ohio State - 1
St. Joe's - 1
Temple - 1

The following 64 programs have made the sweet 16 at least once:

Clemson is very beatable if Al doesn't coach with his head up his ass. Roche needs to play vary sparingly as he sucks, and against a team like Clemson it gets worse. Southern and Dunn are going to need to play a lot and play well against Booker in order for us to win.

BC usually plays up to their "more talented" competition and down to their inferiors. So, I think the ACC schedule might be fine.
