Tournament Seeding Scenarios

[gauchoheel]

I love this team! Justin and Theo didn't have as much as usual last night, but this team is filled to the brim with leadership and heart. Incredibly proud of how they got things done and have handled themselves all season. I wanted to look ahead to the NCAA Tournament. How far do we need to go in the ACC Tourney to be a #1 seed?

Does winning just one game (against the Miami/Cuse winner) get us there, or do we need to beat the (likely) Louisville/Dook winner in the semifinals too? If we do lose early, I suppose it will depend on how far Louisville, Kentucky, and Baylor go in their conference tourneys to see if we hang on to the #1 seed.

Do you think we're pretty locked into the South or East regions, even as a #2 seed? Or is there a chance we'll have to be in the farther away Midwest or West regions if we fall to a #2 seed?

I think if you consider the decent teams out west (AZ, OR, UCLA, Gonzaga) and midwest (Kansas, Baylor, Lville, Ky) - there are plenty of good teams this year to not have to ship East / South high seeds to midwest or west.

I think worst case from here out is we get a 2 seed, and as a 1 or 2 seed I think we are guaranteed to play in Greenville, SC for first weekend, and likely in the South or East regional if we make it through first weekend.
