Notre Dame, @UNC, BC, @Pitt, and @VT. Obviously a crucial stretch. A rough outline of my thoughts on what we need to do. Of course this isn’t exact since the results from other bubble teams also impact us.
-We can’t lose the BC game.
-Split the other 4 and we are probably in a similar position to where we are now. Right in that Dayton danger zone. Would want to beat Louisville or Duke to protect ourselves from bid thieves. Otherwise we are at the mercy of some of those mid level conferences like the Mountain West and A-10. We also can’t drop the Miami game or the first ACCT game in this scenario.
-go 1-3 and we are in a dangerous situation. We must win the Miami game. We probably need to win against Duke or Louisville or make a run to the ACC championship game to get in.
-go 3-1 in the other 4 and we will be in good position. We will probably just need to beat Miami and win our first ACCT game at that point. We could start moving up seed lines by beating Duke or Louisville or advancing further in the ACCT.
-Go 4-0 and we probably just need one other win. Only way we could be in trouble is if we lost to Wake or BC in the ACCT.
-At the same time we need to keep cheering for BC and South Carolina to win and move up to Q2 losses. Neither is far away. BC is 141st in the NET and needs to reach 135th. USCe is 77th and needs to reach 75th.
-We also need to keep rooting for Arizona State and Florida State. We need the Sun Devils to climb into the NET top 50 (currently 54th) to become a Q1 game and the Noles to remain top 15 (currently 13th) to keep that win as Q1A
