Gonna take no bid steals & bubble help, luckily a weak year. WAB is below

all but three current "bubble teams" of San Diego St, Seton Hall/WVU (don't know if you can consider these but alas). Tied with New Mexico actually. Our OOC SOS didnt really help. 64th out of 79 "Power Five" Schools, and tied between 76-77 overall. However it is better than 5 other bubble teams (Miami OH, Seton Hall, So Cal, WVU, Cal) Are VT's resume metrics enough with just a win vs either UNC or UVA, to help tip the efficiency metrics ? ** Edited by HokieRat at 2/25/2026, 7:13:42 PM

Ugh. Utah St laid an egg: SDSU wins by 17
hokiepro • 02/26/26 06:19 AM ET
Santa Clara got blown out. **
GoldCoast • 02/26/26 08:21 AM ET
Yeah maybe a wash there. The Cal W over SMU may have hurt the most**
hokiepro • 02/26/26 10:03 AM ET
VT goes 2-1 they’re in, 1-2 and they’re out
soflahokie • 02/25/26 04:05 PM ET
I wouldn't get your hopes up from what we've seen so far this season**

Just beat the Tarholes
turkeywinghokie • 02/25/26 06:05 PM ET
It is there, especially as everyone in front of us loses their Q1 gms**
GoldCoast • 02/26/26 08:43 AM ET
I'm not so sure 2-1 is good enough
SteveInBaltimore • 02/25/26 04:27 PM ET
Number of Q1&2 wins is more important than getting to a specific win total **
hokiepro • 02/26/26 12:40 PM ET
10-8 was needed with losses to UNC and UVa
soflahokie • 02/26/26 07:45 AM ET
Yeah 9-9 probably has like a 30-40% chance.**
Gobbler-100 • 02/25/26 08:06 PM ET
It would be good enough if we had a name like UNC, ND or Dook

Winning game 1 in ACCT may be necessary pending conf tourney
hokiepro • 02/25/26 04:59 PM ET
I thought they don't count ACC tournament wins as part of our resume?**
VT_NOVA • 02/26/26 02:21 PM ET
We have to win the opening round of the ACCT just to avoid a bad loss
soflahokie • 02/25/26 06:48 PM ET
That’s a Q2 game which is NOT considered a “bad loss”
hokiepro • 02/25/26 07:34 PM ET
Winning the ACCT again would be necessary if we don't finish strong.
EDGEMAN • 02/25/26 05:42 PM ET
agree
