Based on history, I would say ~75% chance. Data inside...

In the six non-Covid years since 2018, there have been 13 ACC teams that finished exactly .500 in conference. 10 of those teams ended up going to the NCCA tournament with 3 missing the tournament. All of the 10 teams that made it had a post-season RPI of 46 or better while all three of the teams that missed had an RPI of 56 or worse. Below are the details of the teams with their post-season RPI noted. I also highlighted how many teams under .500 got into the tournament. As of right now, our real-time RPI per Warren Nolan is #39. Also, one new thing that will be introduced to the selection committee is them being provided a KPI ranking which we are ranked #25 in through yesterday's games. So based on our current rankings and assuming we finish .500 which likely means series wins against two of UNC, Duke, UVA and Pitt, I think our profile would more closely resemble teams that ended up making the tournament. 2024: 2 teams, both in (Wake 14, GT 45). 0 teams in below .500. 2023: 2 teams, 1 in (UNC 33), 1 out (ND 56). 1 team in below .500 (NC St 23). 2022: 4 teams, 3 in (FSU 29, UNC 4, GT 21), 1 out (Pitt 66). 0 teams in below .500. 2021: 3 teams, 2 in (UNC 46, UVA 28), 1 out (Louis 70). 1 team in below .500 (Duke 21). 2019: 2 teams, both in (Clem 38, Duke 44). 0 teams in below .500. 2018: 0 teams at .500. 0 teams in below .500.

Agree with this - pitching was very good. Crowl was electric, which is

I'm most disappointed in McCann. I was hoping he would make a jump...
QCP 04/14/25 10:08 PM ET
Yeah, I had McCann as my most improved player and to have a breakout year.**
