Espn offers it occasionally. Usually for Duke or Kentucky games. On comcast anyway.

Is Keels not starting because he still coming back from the leg injury or is it because Griffin finally remembered how to shoot the 3?
Meltdown taking place in Pittsburgh..VT’s 28 point lead down to 6

Of course Pitt can’t finish the comeback. I hate watching Pitt.

Tech is all finesse. Any team that gets up in their grill and plays aggressively makes them looked like scared children. Surprised more teams don’t play them that way
Those of you clinging to NCAAT hopes might want to think about rooting for VT. haha if they finish the season well, that’s a quality win for UVA with a chance for another coming up. Tonight’s squandered blowout probably cost them 5 spots or so in the NET.

Still options. I’ll hope for an ACC tournament win and keep rooting for tech to lose.

Tech and Pitt played each order Saturday and then play each other again on Monday???
Is that for real?
Think it was a game rescheduled due to COVID and guess that’s where it slotted in.

This is depressing to look at.

I love winning on Mondays because now we can just enjoy the rest of the games this week.
Tuesday
North Carolina @ Clemson (Pulling for Clemson)
Syracuse @ Boston College (Maybe rooting for BC?.. Although want our Cuse win to look nice…)
Wednesday
Wake Forest @ NCST (Pulling for NCST)
Georgia Tech @ Miami (Maybe pulling for GT… although again, want Miami win to look nice…)
Louisville @ Notre Dame (Pulling for Louisville)
Pittsburgh @ FSU (Pulling for Pitt)
Thursday
Duke @ Clemson (I am fully torn)
That’s honestly a pretty nice slate of games. Think I’ll be watching UNC-Clemson and Wake-NCST in particular.

What is the PEMDAS order of operations here? Do we root for our wins to get in the highest quad possible? Then root for anyone we play twice? Or the opposite?
Where does ACC finish fit in? Is there any scenario where we’d prefer the single bye over the double bye?
I generally think we need to think like a plucky mid-major conference: which is to say, we need to hope that the top teams pummel the bottom of the conference, and then hope we do well enough when we play the top teams so we have enough “good wins.”
This is too complicated. So much easier to root for the noncon teams…
I think our clearest path to the tournament involves getting our metrics to a point where the committee is comfortable (talking overall NET) and then point to some Q1 wins. So whatever accomplishes that

Yeah, I’m honestly really confused as well. After thinking about it, the one thing that might be relatively clear is that we at least want Syracuse and Clemson to move up the NET rankings since our away wins against them could, potentially, turn into Q1 wins, which we desperately need. That same line of thinking would lead to me think we probably don’t want Miami to implode. Everything else I kind of shrug my shoulder at and enjoy the game.
That said, I do want a double bye in the ACC tourney if possible. While we have some slim at-large hopes right now, winning the ACC tourney is still maybe just as a viable path to getting to the NCAAs (although a few more wins and at-large would almost certainly be more likely). So I guess I’m personally hoping maybe UNC and Wake stumble down the stretch, allowing us into the top 4, but our wins over the rest of the top teams look good. That’s pretty specific though, haha.

I just realized we have more quad 1 wins than UNC, VT and WF combined.

I was just playing with Torvik’s Teamcast thing (clicked yes on Dynamarank), and gave us 4-2 the rest of the way (L’s to Duke, and @Louisville / W’s vs. GT, @VPI, @Miami, and v. FSU). Then 1-1 in the ACCT (Beat Miami, lose to Duke).
That seems very optimistic, but not crazy optimistic.
Fun way to waste some time:

If Clemson wins tonight they will jump into the top 75 of the net and be a Q1 win
