If we prevail at VT on Tuesday, I expect that we will end up ranked ahead of UK given their regular season schedule versus ours. They host Auburn, and must go to Oklahoma and Missouri.
It is not impossible that UL could win out, and arrive at the ACC Tournament ranked in the top 15. The Committee says they value momentum, and UL clearly has that going in our favor.

No, no, no
Another loss by uk, to another member of the most powerful BB conference in history, will not be punished.
In fact, if it a close loss, the “experts” may even reward them 🤪
I know. Sarcasm does not play well in print.
But I’m sick of hearing about them.
I’m longing for some Morehead St,, Robert Morris, Evansville type performances from the sec in the tournament.

In past years I would be inclined to agree with Rollem's post, and while his acknowledging sarcasm, its much closer to the truth than not. I believe there has been a pattern where somehow Lunardi has exhibited an unhealthy, and undeserving influence in ranking college basketball. Yes, there have been enough "St Peters upsets" to remove any doubt as to just how unaccountable Lunardi and his minions are when seeding "the so-called majors". However, this year maybe different, at least with respect to the SEC, as "even a broken clock is accurate twice a day".
Auburn, Florida and Alabama when healthy appear to be better than most any of the other teams right now, and TX A&M, Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri are not too far behind when they are healthy. The NCAA selection process is designed to provide a significant advantage to those receiving the coveted four (4) each #1, #2, #3 and #4 seeds, and it should be evident that as it stands right now, the aforementioned seven (7) have a shot at claiming their share of the 16 openings.
Oklahoma, Mississippi, & Mississippi State are in for sure and who knows maybe Vanderbilt and Arkansas too?

This probably won't go over too well but I'm not as concerned as much about out ranking as much as our possible seeding. I'm not sure I want to be on the #5 line based on past history. I think I would be ok with the 6/11 matchup. We also need to be realistic in that by not playing strong competition we are rising in the polls simply because other teams are losing to better teams. Hopefully, we get another shot at Duke or have another opportunity to beat Clemson in the ACC tournament.
we have to finish strong! no time to pat ourselves on the backs.
Agreed. On espn they have us listed as a 6 seed as of today. If we win out and show up in the ACC tournament, I think we get a 5 seed, which I am totally content with. Our ceiling is a 4 seed, but we would have to win the ACC tournament..which is doable. Just can’t let up these last 4 games. There really isn’t any room for error.
