The ACC's Bubble Teams

[dtodd4475]

Boise State getting knocked off by Colorado State is a massive blow to their bubble chances.

 

[Oak ridger]

UNC is the 1st team out as of this morning.

 

[DaveChapelle]

I swear these SEC teams have made it a point to give the bubble teams wins the past couple weeks.

Arkansas over #25 Miss State

Georgia looks likely to beat Vandy

 

[dtodd4475]

Well dang, Mississippi State misses a wide open 5 foot bank shot at the gun to lose to Arkansas by 1. That probably punches Arkansas's ticket, instead of dropping them out going into the SEC tournament.

This whole season has been a "let's get on our knees and love the SEC!"

I'm no SEC fan, but that conference has dominated the regular season. Top level title quality up top, and crazy deep. The thorough arse whipping they gave the ACC in the challenge was just part, they have been impressive from start to finish this year.

maybe thirteen bids which is incredible…that league sucked four years ago.

so i guess carolina is getting zero help as it stands now.

That Bama/Auburn game was as high quality as it gets. That might just be a National Championship game preview. Great set at the end for the tear drop game winner in OT.

Not everyone was convinced that the football money had an effect on basketball. I guess this season should settle that argument.

Maybe the best game I have seen all year

I hope neither make it there lol. I’ve got to listen to both fan bases.

 

[Oak ridger]

Dropped to 40 NET with the loss to Dookie.

 

[dtodd4475]

Dropped to 40 NET with the loss to Dookie.

Yep, still one of our biggest positives going for us though, as 40 is higher than almost all of the other bubble teams.

 

[dtodd4475]

Nebraska with a horrible final game loss to Iowa by 15, pops their couple wins in the conference tournament bubble hopes.

 

[sctarheel30]

Joe has us in the last four in now gotta keep winning though.

 

[ChrisMPA]

He’s got us in the play in game

 

[dtodd4475]

I will be keeping an eye on the Xavier/Marquette and Iowa/Ohio Stare matchups for sure.

Iowa won

 

[dtodd4475]

That's huge. Ohio State staggering to the finish line should seal their fate outside the bubble.

 

[gteeitup]

win another game

 

[big_deez]

Iowa won

Heels gotta little help with this one, nice

 

[WoadBlue]

This whole season has been a "let's get on our knees and love the SEC!"

Get used to it. Football is not just king; football is AUTOCRAT. And ESPN loves the Sec, which now means it is going to push SEC basketball all the time.

These are the inherent and inevitable fruits of the ACC and UNC choosing to downgrade football while promoting basketball.

 

[WoadBlue]

At this point, a W over Wake and a decent game loss to Dook should get UNC in. Lose to Wake, no NCAA. Lose badly to Dook and a good chance of no NCAA.

I think the same way on this. If we can somehow beat Wake and Duke in some universe, I think we can avoid the play-in round.

No doubt that W over Dook would count a good deal. But is there any chance? This Dook team is really good. It can be in the FF and win it all.

So now I am just hoping to beat Wake convincingly - not on buzzer shot. That should get the NCAA bid. Anything else in the ACT would be gravy. Upsetting Dook would be gravy made from gold, better even than winning the ACCT without beating Dook. But. sound W over Wake should get this team, now hot, into the NCAA.

Dook in a cat fight with GT right now lets see if it holds up

Dook in a cat fight with GT right now lets see if it holds up

Dook is 0-9 on 3 pointers.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

I assume we are all rooting/screaming/praying for Ga Tech to hold onto their lead.

 

[Quest4Seven]

theres 10 other people on the court do we really need 10 slow mo replays of Flagg spraining his ankle and cutting to his insufferable mother?

 

[KeeLo]

Nasty looking injury for Flagg. Sincere hopes that his long term career won't be impacted by chronic issues with it

 

[trimbornunc86]

Don't want to get ahead of ourselves here but if they can get past wake... the way that injury looked for flagg I find it highly highly unlikely they would play him tomorrow even if he says he can go. Might have a shot against duke... MAYBE
