Do we switch with Louisville from a projected 5 to 4 in the NCAA tournament? Does tomorrow matter to our seed or do we need to win against UVa to move up? Thoughts?
 
Always hard to tell what others in the nation are doing. We COULD climb all the way to a 3 but must win ACC to do it. Right now I'd say we are looking at a 4 after today.
 
It didn't hurt. IMO, I think for us to get a 4, we would need to win tomorrow and hope that
other potential 4's don't win their conference tourney. A 4 is so much better than
a 5.
 
Lunardi had us as a 5 seed in Kentucky's bracket before the game today. Hopefully that won't hold true, and we can move up to a 4 or even a 3 (longshot).

Think we may be able to snag a 4 with a W tomorrow - unless of course Kansas is 1, in which case we will be an 8 in their bracket

I wish we would get them since this year we dont have a walk on starting at point guard or a team coming off losing 4 first round picks. I think were better than kansas this year
 
The ACC teams that hit the 8-9 line are in for a tough row to hoe...we may have moved toward 5-6 but I think to get to 4-5 solidly we better win tonight.
 
We have had a really tuff time in seedings over the last few years and I don't think we will move to a 4 without winning tonight and I really don't think they will give us a shot at a 3 seed even if we win the next 2 tourney games.
 
I think the Louisville win guaranteed at least a 5 seed, and put us in the running for a 4 seed depending on the results of other tournaments.

UNC is currently #12 in the RPI. To win the next 2 tourney games, we would have to beat the #3 team in the country and the winner of the matchup between the #2 and #11 teams. We'd also be the ACC Tournament Champions. I don't see in that scenario how we wouldn't get a 3 seed as one of the 12 best teams in the country.
 
We're a 5 unless we beat Virginia. If that happens, then there's no telling. It doesn't really matter though, you're going to be tested no matter what seed you are. If you're a lower seed, you just get that test a bit earlier.
 
Some teams could have really helped us yesterday, THANKS TEXAS, but they let us down!
