ACC BYE

[BCEagle74]

Looking 5 seed now. BC should be in at 9-7 ---and maybe they beat Clemson/VT the 4 seed. Clemson should beat VT, but either way with MD losing, we are looking 5 hole.

Give me Clemson as a 4 seed. They aren't very good. Not sure we're beating VT 3 times in a season. Should also root for UNC to beat Duke on Saturday Night. Way more likely we beat UNC than Duke (also way more likely UNC loses a first round game to Miami).

Forgot to mention that.... I want one more shot at UNC.... but then again, Duke kinda tanks in the ACC every other year to avoid losing sea legs?

Just beat the 4 seed and get a bid...

6-0. The regular and tourney season is just a seeding process? This in not Football. This sport has 68 teams and a Dance Show?

Maybe we catch 6 straight teams on off nights and Reggie blows up and Cahill hits 2 buzzer bombs and ... and... and GO EAGLES!!!!

First of all, we have to turn our attention to the task of beating Wake Forest back to back. Admittedly, this year's WF team is bad enough to be something of an embarrassment to the ACC, but looking past an opponent never helped a team, especially a team as erratic as this BC team, and most especially when we have to play an immediate rematch in the ACCT if we beat them the first time. Time enough to worry about the 4 seed after taking care of business with WF; whether it's Clemson or VT, there won't be any surprises, so the main issue for BC will be (as it has been all season) maintaining focus.

Bingo... WF most likely or GT. Win 2X and we are in.

67 is 74 with more brains.

Assuming Reggie Jackson isn't on here reading this board, we can have fun focusing on the future. They need to show up Sunday, that should really be enough.

hasn't Duke won like 9 of the last 12 ACC tourneys?

UNC tanks, big-time in the ACC Tournament. I could see them beating Duke on Saturday and losing to Miami in the first game on Friday.

True. Hyperbole. You are correct.

They stopped that deal after an NCAA regional process change to seed top teams close to home and then went all out when that number 1 seed went to regional close to Duke's campus and the early Thursday and Saturday Noon games whereas Duke was home in bed in the Sweet Sixteen on..... Saturday night.

Good point. Originally, didn't all teams have to win their conference to make the NCAAs and then they upped to it only 2 per conference? Man, some really good teams were left out back then. I remember Lute Olsen always said he'd tell his team to pack it in for the Pac-10 tourney unless they needed some wins to get in. I find that sad to dillute the tourney and as a competitor that a team wouldn't try to win every game, but as a strategy for a larger objective, it makes sense - I'd be fine with losing 40 games if I could win the national championship.
