We were the first ACC team with a .500 ACC record to miss the tourney post-expansion — in 1992.

Just checked Torvik, says it updated 10:01 and it matches with what you shared.

Who is Haslam?

Was just looking at tweets, and Gavitt said before yesterday’s games that 35 of 36 at large teams were already locked. My brain can’t even contemplate whether that’s good or bad for us. Probably bad.

Stats nerd who does brackets for last decade. Committee members follow him on Twitter.

I will captain this (potentially) sinking ship until the bitter end.

SOR = 30
No Q3/4 L’s
10-10 Q1/2
8-8 road/neutral including 5 road wins
Single digit regular season losses + 3rd/ACC Semis
NC SOS in the 230’s (we’ve heard committee doesn’t like sub 300’s)

The thing I will agree with that is bad is only 2 Q1 W’s
 but with that neither was at JPJ (so that’s great) and also if we had more we wouldn’t even be on the bubble we’d be arguing if we’re a 7 or 8 seed


To me this resume screams right side of the bubble. But I’ve never been into the bracketology stuff so I could be completely off base. We’ll see.

Looking at Bracket Matrix, I think our resume is better than:

Utah State
Dayton
Boise State
Florida Atlantic
Colorado State
Texas A&M
Oklahoma
Colorado
Michigan State

Crazy the circularity the way the numbers work

Has us as a 10 seed


Is that his ‘deserves’ bracket or does he have another ‘what Haslem thinks the committee will do’ bracket?

I just smiled to myself contemplating every national hoops pundit and lots of butthurt coaches complaining about us being included in the field. That’d be fun. 25% chance of that and 75% chance of me doing this to the post mortem thread

 which means 100% chance of this being a fun evening!

(But tbh I like and will watch the NIT)

Well it’s a least good that they think there is a possibility that we are last one in and are hedging a bit. Outside possibility for sure. As bad as State was for us, them winning the tournament the way they did beating Duke, us, and Carolina convincingly is at least good for thought re: how deep the conference was (deep not great). It reinforces the 3rd strongest conference idea. Not sure it holds much water but we will see this evening.

I’m officially on the FAU shouldn’t be in train. I don’t think their resume is that good and they don’t pass the “eye test” for me. I posted a few weeks ago that they seemed very overrated to me. I imagine human nature means last year’s Final 4 run will help them with the committee.
