Is UVA really a lock if they lose last 3 and go 21-10 (8-9)?

Is UVA really a lock if they lose last 3 and go 21-10 (8-9)? it's not likely, but plausible....they could still get the #4 seed at 8-8 and lost in the quarters

I hope so. As much as I think those guys are a bunch of chumps, a 21-10 in the ACC should be good enough.

Funny, cuz recent memory says these similar records were not

21-11 (9-7)
23-8 (10-6)
19-13 (9-7)

Depends on who they're compared to.

Which is why I said "should", not "is".

No. We're a lock if the season ended today (RPI 38, , 8-5 road/neutral record, 7 top 100 wins - 9 if MD/VT can move up a slot or 2, and only one bad loss @ Clemson again if VT can get into the top 100). If we were to lose out we'd still be in the discussion but probably on the wrong side of the bubble, mainly due to losing 4 in a row and going 0-fer against UNC/Duke/FSU. That said I think we win 2, maybe 3 more and will end up with a seed in the 6-8 range.

Yeah, there's no way you're going to lose to FSU at home, imo, and then you're probably got about an 80% chance of winning at least 1 more game (@MD, ACCT quarterfinal). Lose to FSU and the collar might start to get a little tight. But, honestly, I think even if you lose to FSU, MD, and BC (or whomever) in the 5 vs. 12 game of the ACC tourney, you'll still probably get in. The jury is in on you guys. People have decided UVa is a tournament team this year. Losing at this point will hurt your seed, but I don't see you falling below a play-in game at the absolute worst.

Agreed. Losing out would be tough to overcome. Win 2 or 3, and I'd say you're definitely in.

[HENRICO HOKIE]

Your OOC SOS could cause a bit of concern if you only win one more...win more than one more probably good to go...plus you guys not likely to get hosed by the Wake Forest AD (or whoever reps the ACC).

When the HELL does Top 100 wins count? How about ANY wins vs the top teams in the conference...nope. How about Top 50 wins...any of those left. What a garbage resume and to think VT didn't get in with a much better resume the last 4 years.
