8-1 with 4 quality wins. Suck it non-believers.

I'm not a non-believer in Va. Tech, I think they are a quality team top 35ish type of team. Just not sure their resume will say the same thing come Selection Sunday. I just plugged in a 9-9 finish in the ACC w/losses vs. Duke, at FSU, at Clemson, at UNC, at Virginia, at Miami, vs. UVA, at Pitt and at Louisville which I think is reasonable. That would put them at 20-10(9-9) with an RPI of 41 and an SOS of 60. I think that would get them an at-large bid(depending on what they did in the ACCT), but all we have to do is look to last year when the team ranked 41st in the RPI got left out.

I'm just saying they will be an interesting case come Selection Sunday because of the poor OOC SOS.

Also, beating New Mexico, Nebraska and Ole Miss, won't really mean much this year IMO, I don't think any of them will be viable at-large candidates. I think Michigan will be a quality win(top 60ish).

I'm a believer in VT as well, but I agree with your last paragraph. Nebraska, New Mexico and Ole Miss aren't quality wins right now, and highly doubt they'll be quality wins in March.

Think VT will need to win 10 (maybe plus one more in the ACC Tournament) to get into the big dance. I think they'll be able to achieve that.

Not very a good OOC SOS. Ranked #141 by Jerry Palm and its probably going to go down as VT ends their non-conference slate with 3 sub 250 teams.

FSU looks to have very draftable talent when they choose to come out

Shoe-in 1st rounders: D. Bacon, J. Isaac
Borderline 1st rounders: X. Rathan-Mayes, T. Forest (only a frosh, could be a 1st rounder)
2nd rounders: M. Ojo, T. Mann

I expect all these guys to make an NBA roster, or at least a D-league spot.

Your coach is doing great things.

He's such a piece of shit. If the ACC doesn't drop at least a 3 game suspension, it will show that anyone playing for Duke or UNC is untouchable.

I am not going to say "piece of shit" just yet but he IS getting there. He probably won't get suspended for the exact reason you said, he plays for Duke. I do see Coach K benching him (and he should)

COACH K needs to suspend that douchebag.

He already got his second and third chances. No more slaps on the wrist are going to work.

Coach K is a fucking embarrassing Pussy if he doesn't sit this dude for a bare minimum of 3 games if not more.

And if Coach K is too cowardly, the ACC will do it for him.

"Gayson" Allen should be suspended five games. What a joke.

I hope aren't including Nebraska in a quality wins. They blow chunks. They lost to Garner-Webb and struggled vs Southern last 2 games.

Grayson Allen needs suspended. Hopefully Coach K has the balls to do it and not leave up to ACC

Syracuse basketball is such an embarrassment right now. J.B. beginning of the year says this is one of the best rosters he has ever had and he doesn't usually say anything positive and now they are getting destroyed again. St. Johns making them look foolish.

Hey remember when Syracuse made the final four last year? I do.

Last year means nothing to me. When J.B. opens his mouth ans says this is the deepest team he has ever had then these results are unacceptable.
