VT @ Clemson

I think we gotta root hard for VT. Bursting Clemson's bubble would be one less thing to worry about.

This is the strangest game I've seen in a while.
I like BC basketball.

I don't like us matching up with Clemson at all. They are really athletic and play hard. VT doesn't scare me even though it may be tough to beat them 3 times in a season.

Clemson with the easy win. This is not good for BC.

As weak as the bubble is, Virginia Tech has no business in the NCAA Tourney. They'll have to do some serious work in the ACC Tourney to have a chance to get in, IMO. It sucks too...it's a very real possibility that the ACC will get only four teams in. If Tech had won today, the ACC would probably get five at least.

Personally I prefer another shot at Clemson in a neutral setting over a third go-around against tech.

I agree. I think we'd take Clemson on a neutral floor. Pretty tough to beat a team 3 times.

ACC will be 5 in if BC beats Wake twice. VT could make 6. If Clemson beats BC in round 2, Clemson is firm as team 4.

disagree on two fronts:

1) Clemson is a nightmare matchup for us.
2) A VT win would have knocked out Clemson barring a big run in the ACCT. So it would have been one less bubble team we'd be competing with to dance. Instead we now have 2 bubble teams in our own conference we are competing with. We now probably need 2 ACCT wins, whereas a Clemson loss today would have put us in with only 1 ACCT win.

Agree. VT is the odd-team out right now, not Clemson or BC, thanks in part to their 0-3 record against both.

I think BC needs 2 comfortable wins against Wake and at least a respectable showing against Clemson. Beat Clemson to get to 21 wins/ACC semis and I don't think we'll be sweating too much a week from tomorrow.
