Lot of bubble teams not happy with the Cards right now.
- Thread starter CardX
- Start date
IF we beat Virginia tomorrow, then I'll feel a whole lot better about the at-large bid. Still might have to beat (NC State?) in the semi-finals to make it but a win over #1 in the ACC tourney might just be enough.
Spalding had 2 fouls for the game according to the boxscore. I haven't seen the game yet. I recorded it. I'll watch it when I get home.
I thought he was in there late. My nerves were a mess, so can't be sure. But, DP subbed for ball handlers and free throw shooters when FSU began to press.
"NCAA Tourney Odds: With Win 100%"
Great and necessary win, but I find 100% a bit hard to believe. I'd say more like 60%, with Syracuse being a huge barrier (better resume' with a when over UoL H2H).
Not buying it, want a UVA win..."NCAA Tourney Odds: With Win 100%"
Sweet, kind Virginia is going to be a nasty girl and get DP'd tomorrow. Take that how you will.

Same here SC. Can't feel too comfortable. A win over Virginia would make me feel a whole lot better but to be very honest, I would just assume the Cards run the table on this tourney to get the automatic bid. Seriously doubt that happens, but until it doesn't, it's possible.
I agree with you. You see that 1% chance of not making it in that graphic? I wouldn't be surprised if the committee just went with that.
Maybe, but they also went 11-7 in ACC play and they beat the Cards on the road. NC State losing to BC feels like it hurt us IMO.
And it isnt going to drop with a loss to UVA. Although, I think we beat them (HOPEFULLY, FINALLY). Again, my opinion sadly doesn't matter
I assumed that was the motive of CDP when he went small, but he kept Anas in there, and we had no offense in the paint. Spalding was out a good portion of the first half, yet still was one of our top scorers. I couldn't believe CDP didn't reinsert him for Anas.
I noticed that as well but don’t think it was 10 minutes. I don’t have any specific reasons but I think Spalding got tired although he only logged 25 minutes.
Cuse went 8-10 in the league though - I don't see how they would get in ahead of UofL.
At first glance I think the Cards are in - however, one thing that could hurt UofL is if an outsider wins the ACC Tourney - which can't be ruled out. If say, Syracuse or ND win it, that COULD snatch the bid from the Cards. I could certainly see the committee pulling that stunt.
ND is more of a stealing the Cards bid threat. Their SOS is in the 70s, I don't think they make it unless they make a run in the ACC
I think Syracuse and UofL may both make it - that losing record for Syracuse in conference may hurt them... unbalanced schedule though.

Yes, I’d fear them as a bid stealer. If ND made the Finals, they will have racked up 2 impressive wins along the way. I think committee would grade them favorably because of their injuries.
Freaking ND came back from the dead. If they beat Duke tomorrow night, I guarantee they make the tourney. We really need Cuse to lose night.
Here’s the thing... There’s literally 6 ACC teams in mid pack of the conference and hanging around the tourney bubble. U of L, FSU, VaTech, Miami, Syracuse, and ND. All are razor close in the ACC final standings and Computer rankings (we actually grade the highest composite ranking of RPI/KP/Sag). After the win today, we’re 5-3 head to head vs. that group with 3 road wins and a nuetral court win. We should be in.
Of course, it’s close enough that the NCAA can randomly make whatever decision they want and pick some gibberish narrative to back up their decision. If recent past is any indication, we don’t seem to come out on the right side when the NCAA goes the route of random gibberish. So who knows?

What I don't understand is.....Notre Dame gets special consideration because Bonzie and Farrell were out for large portions of the season with injury and both are healthy now. Louisville gets NO special consideration for their head coach being fired 2 days before the season begins.
A win today and I will feel confident we are in. A loss greater than 6 points and I will be concerned.

Miami is not on the bubble. They are the 3 seed in the ACC tournament. They're in.
Does anybody REALLY think they'll put us in if there is ANY excuse not to? They just took our banner. The first in history. Now we expect them to say "Oh, they've been through a lot, and are pretty good. Let's put them in" ? We need to beat UVA for a decent shot.
The only guarantee we have is to win the tourney for the auto bid.
Now THAT would chap the NCAA's @$$
So, while we're at it, let's just win it all.
How bad would it pi$$ them off to have to turn around and give us another banner.. Oh how I wish this could happen.

Me to RC, me to. There I said the PC words in vogue today.
Would like nothing more than to rub some shat in the NCAA's nose like the cocaine they have up in there now.
NCAA is totally addicted to bias and nose candy.....biggest bunch of Pharisees in the country make up that organization.
