🏀 UVa Men’s Basketball - February 2024

It seems like the conference is devalued to a point that we need 6-7 wins including one at Duke or at home against UNC. Definitely need to avoid any bad losses and get these next two against Miami and at FSU (maybe that would be a bad loss now). Apparently the ACC is about on par with the A10.

Which shows how stupid this all is, lol.

Thankfully it won’t matter when we beat UNC at home :wink:

Yup, team 2 has a low-key thin resume. Below us in Strength of Record and Wins Above Bubble.

Right, but I was responding to a comparison between us and Clemson. I don’t think Clemson is on the bubble…yet. Their only really awful result was losing to GT at home. We have a bunch of 20 point blowout losses which is killing our metrics.

No ACC team is making it without a winning ACC record, nonconference success and computer metrics love be damned. Right now Clemson is projected to finish 10-10.

If Clemson finishes 2-3 games behind us in the ACC, we beat them on the road, and they get in and we don’t…I’d be ok with a jump to the SEC or Big 10 by the end of this semester.

I was basing it on the current Bracket Matrix which had them as a 6 seed before yesterday’s game. That makes me think if the season ended today, Clemson would be safely in.

@FSU is safely a quad 2 game.
The only truly bad loss opp left is home against GT.

Does the committee take into consideration who’s hot and who’s not or is it just based solely on your wins and losses?

And who you beat and who you lost to

They should if there’s a lineup change … and we’ve had a significant one… but it’s usually only based on injuries

FG% 43.8% (171-390)
FG% D 40.7% (146-359)
+9on the glass
+14 on the offensive glass

The previous seven games vs. high-major opponents (includes Memphis, aTm, and WVU):

4-3
-2 scoring differential (444-446 or 63.4-63.7)
FG% 44.0% (168-382)
FG% D 42.4% (158-373)
-26 on the glass
-10 on the offensive glass

Defense and rebounding have improved substantially.

Jake is now shooting 50% from three on the year (33-66). That ties him with Leon Bond (1-2 :joy:) for best on the team.

McKneely shooting a paltry 47% (53-113). Smh.

Beautiful.

I think we’ll see some cold spells from Groves soon. But what gives me hope is that we have enough weapons and we’re scoring more creatively so that it shouldn’t hamper us too badly.

No chance man. Groves will continue to shoot 75 percent from 3!!!

Man is he playing at a high level
