That's a surprising result and someone check on Carmine
Virginia will probably jump close to 110ish in the NET. Top 100 is quad for our neutral site game.
Nice bonus too is UVA likely bounced Pitt from the Tournament (at least for now). ESPN for instance currently projects 5 ACC teams and 4 Big East. Pitt is one of the Last Four Byes and Xavier is the first First Four Out. Swap the two next update and you have 5 Big East and 4 ACC teams. Would love to see that happen on Selection Sunday.

Margin of error for ACC bubble teams is very low as there is so much garbage in the conference. Bracket projections are point in time and do not account for the fact that ACC teams strength of schedule will keep deteriorating.
I have never believed they will end up with five, unless someone other than Duke wins the ACC tournament.
Don’t think it’s been updated in a few days. Regardless, don’t put much stock into that or Bracket Matrix for a few more weeks
The Athletic's most recent bracket has us in the 8/9 game against the #1 overall seed: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/61...ball-bracket-watch-texas-tech-arizona-oregon/
We've got one win against the field. I get it. If I wasn't a Johnnies fan, I'd also be like "this is a weak resume." The variance of where we can land after this two weeks over is pretty high.
I don't care what that says, but if we finish in the top 3 in the conference and make the semis of the BET or better, then we're not in the 8/9 game.
By the end of the week, we can be a three seed.
The fact that Rick Pitino is our coach is what is allowing us to have a higher ranking than our resume reflects. We need 3 of 5 against the big boys to prove that we are big boys ourselves. Otherwise as fast as we moved up the rankings we Will move down just as fast.
If we go 2-0, yes!!
Should be 4 BE teams and 3 ACC teams (Duke, Louisville, Clemson). But ACC will probably get a 4th in, maybe UNC or Wake.
However while the Big East teams may be a solid 4 (especially if Creighton does well the rest of the way), the last ACC team could get bounced by a high number of bid-stealers. I can't see 5 ACC teams but who knows.
At least in a meritocracy - which none of us believe the NCAA committee is using as the selection criteria, of course.

I don't think we can get that high by the end of this week. Too many teams with way more better wins that we'd have to jump.
3 seed? essentially a "top 12" team...
They don't believe we'll get through the gauntlet with more wins than losses. Who knows? Right now I'm enjoying the rarefied air of the current ride.
#12 Johnnies beats #11 Marquette by 6! We're even further ahead in first place! Our KenPom stays the same at #16 with defense improving to #3 (Marquette also stays at #19), but obviously the most important thing here is we picked up a MASSIVE Q1 win. Marquette's NET is #18 so I'd expect this to remain Q1 (top 30).
No words for how great this season has been, the Johnnies are a legit contender. I said previously I'd be happy with a 1-1 week, but now obviously would love to beat UConn and find out how high our AP ranking will be on Monday.
