ooof... would have thought the Creighton win would bump us up more.

If we win tomorrow, then the Nova/Prov game will be really important for us too. We basically have to become big Nova fans the rest of the way here.
Virginia win doesn't mean much. That team sucks ass
Well? There in 3rd place in the Acc at 11 and 6. A lock for a good ncaa tournament seed. They won the national championship 4 years ago and had a 27 game at home winning streak just recently broken by Pitt. If only we sucked a$$ as much.
If only winning a national championship 4 years ago could help the team they currently have. Their current team is no bueno. Much like us, they have one win over a team that's definitely going to make the tournament (Florida). And that was in November. They should honestly be right smack dab on the bubble along with us. Beating them is not a feather in anyone's cap this year. I do see they also won @Clemson, which is pretty much the only win they've had in the past 3 months worth anything. I just don't think being in 3rd place in this years ACC is much of a flex
The answer to your question is that the ACC is trash this year. It should be a 2 bid league. Generously 4. Do not think the committee is going to go deep in that league this year, either. Expect to see those bids go to extra teams in the Big 10, SEC, and Big 10.
If the Acc is "trash" this year then it's got to be the 1st time ever, right? I thought it was recent common knowledge that the Acc is the best, or 2nd best?, conference in college basketball and all the BE fans would always rail against that claim. I can't vouch for all their teams - but the one I follow is real good. Hinson has literally half court range and is elite; their 2 freshmen guards make Wilcher look like Danny Hurley ( no offense - of course I like Sim ); 2 skinny but good bigs - one offensive one defensive; and other good bench options as well. P.S. the Acc will never be a 2 bid league.
Leagues been pretty weak for a few years now. They have good teams for sure. But the bottom half has been so consistently weak that it brings everyone’s metrics down.
Beating DePaul does nothing, it's a practice game for crying out loud.
Give me an extra win. But win by 20. I refuse to believe having another win on the record as long as it is by 20 would not help. DePaul or not.
Heck vs. DePaul they better win by 40.
Even better
You cra cra. 4 years ago, 3 years ago since coronavirus canceled a year, the Acc won the national championship with Virginia. Just last year the Acc put 5 teams in the tournament - had an overall record of 7 and 5 - and though "After Duke and Unc, very unimpressive conference", sent Miami to the final four. The year before that the Acc had half the final four.
