Rooting against Syracuse, Cal, and Miami on Wednesday. VT/GT is mostly a wash-- probably a slight preference for bubble purposes for VT to win, but a huge preference for other reasons for GT to beat the turkeys.
Current projected ACC wins (Torvik), bottom 3 miss out:
Virginia Tech 7.22 (home 2/1, away 2/15)
NC State 7.11 (UVA holds H2H tiebreak)
Georgia Tech 6.93 (home 2/8)
Syracuse 6.92 (away 3/8)
Cal 6.81 (holds H2H tiebreak over UVA) ---------------------- UVA 6.03
BC 3.91 (home Tues)
Miami 3.3 (away 1/29)
I vote win games because at that particular point I don’t think the negotiations would be any farther along than they are at this point. Atleast not for anyone we’d want or be involved with… highly doubt things get serious with anyone beyond what we’re capable of checking in on now until seasons are over.
I think it’ll move fast as seasons end. My guess is the Monday after our candidate’s season ends. But I also think it’ll be basically pre-baked with a day or so to finalize details,
Correct. It’ll stay close to the vest until atleast first weekend of NCAA’s is over. I would say it’s more likely we have a new coach within 1 week of that coaches season ending than that it would take longer than 1 week.
Yeah there’s probably not a scenario where the guy we hire has his season end before ours outside of a miracle Hoo run to get into the Acc tournament and then another miracle to win it.
Or maybe a minor miracle to get to a winning regular season record to have a shot at the NIT or CBI?
Unless you have bona fide insider connections, in which case you would already know the identity of the next coach, as I do.
I’m sworn to secrecy, of course, but one thing I can share is that exactly nobody is going to be happy with the choice. I mean, it’s a really bad choice. I’m pretty upset about it. If yall think this season is bad, wait until all the rest of them.
Hubert Davis needs to chill out on the sidelines. He’s so over animated like he thinks behaving like that will make him a better coach lol. He clearly graduated from the School of Dan Hurley sideline antics
It’s amazing that their resume is about the same every year. Never any awful losses, but consistently good at falling on their face when they need to win a Q1 game.
Rooting against Syracuse, Cal, Miami, and GT today though VT/GT is mostly a wash.
BC and Miami look like locks for 17th and 18th, so only one of the other teams will be left out. At the moment, our win total is in that 16th (out) spot, but we are definitely more likely than not to finish 15th or better.
Current projected ACC wins (Torvik), bottom 3 miss out (actually didn’t update any totals except ours and BC, so the others are probably off by up to 0.1).
Virginia Tech 7.22 (home 2/1, away 2/15)
NC State 7.11 (UVA holds H2H tiebreak)
Georgia Tech 6.93 (home 2/8)
Syracuse 6.92 (away 3/8)
Cal 6.81 (holds H2H tiebreak over UVA) ---------------------- UVA 6.62, +0.59 after win over BC (0.23 wins better than expected, and the lopsided result increased future win probabilities by 0.36 cumulatively)
BC 3.5 (UVA holds H2H tiebreak), -0.41 after loss at UVA
Miami 3.3 (away Wed)
Our next two games, which are practically tossups, home vs ND and @Miami, both jumped about one point in our favor (to being one point favorites) and 5% to 55% and 54% wins after our drubbing of BC.
Makes me think, would Odom’s jump to UVA be all that different from Kelsey’s to Louisville? Kelsey made 2 tournaments at CofC winning the regular season & tournament (in a much worse conference than VCU or Utah State) and made 3 the same way at Winthrop plus another regular season title. Never won a tournament game.
Odom has won one conference regular season with a chance to win this year with VCU and does have a tournament win plus another at large appearance (also throw in a D2 Sweet Sixteen at Lenoir Rhyne)
The biggest difference in my eye is Kelsey has had much more regular season success but in terms of the jump, Big South & CAA to ACC is much bigger than Mountain West & A10.
