Seems to me playing BC is actually pretty unlikely if we avoid day 1

They're at 7-10 and play UVa, Wake, and GT. Unlikely they sweep those, so if we somehow end up 10-10, we pass them. Then we have to pass one more (UNC at 8-8 the most likely candidate...we could tie them and win the tiebreaker with head-to-head) to get out of day 1 and get into the 8/9 day 2 game...in that scenario, it's hard to figure how we end up playing BC.) It's possible we'd get BC through a very unlikely course of events, but more likely we'd get Wake or 'Cuse, who are currently tied for 8th. 'Cuse and Wake play each other, so one of them is getting to at least 10 wins. We obviously lose a tiebreaker with Wake. Not sure how it would work with 'Cuse. I think the likelihood of passing either of them is pretty small.

Paths to the postseason for VT hoops

Our chances ended with the second loss to BC. We need to win the ACCT now.**
Hokie Trainer 02/20/23 11:34 PM ET
No they ended with GT if anything
soflahokie 02/21/23 09:45 AM ET
Winning out would give us 4 Q1 wins. Miami is not Q1 and if we beat them...
Hokie Trainer 02/21/23 03:47 PM ET
it's a good time of the year to go on a winning streak**
kingofcassell 02/20/23 12:40 PM ET
Tend to agree. Possible that wins home against UM and @ Duke put us...
CampLawHokie 02/20/23 11:38 AM ET
Tough asks. Miami is playing lights out and Duke @Cameron Indoor is Duke**
BackInTheBurg 02/20/23 03:52 PM ET
Louisville away is no gimme. Just beat Clemson at home **
Durham Hokie 02/20/23 04:53 PM ET
Yeah, a real far-fetched scenario at this point. Hope is a dangerous drug**

Hope is fine; expectation is the real danger.**

There’s no place for it inside these walls.**
Hokie535 02/20/23 04:35 PM ET
Yep; if we get somehow get to 10-10
hokiepro 02/20/23 01:27 PM ET
Miami is the key game, if we win tomorrow I like our chances
soflahokie 02/20/23 03:14 PM ET
This is possible if we don’t play acc cellar dwellers.Those are auto losses**
3TechFanz 02/20/23 02:52 PM ET
We have by far the most polarizing win/loss metrics
soflahokie 02/20/23 12:51 PM ET
what is our current NET ranking after Saturday's win? **

Pylons 02/20/23 10:59 AM ET
If we get to 10-10 and Cuse is 10-10 we’d have the tiebreaker I THINK
hokiepro 02/20/23 01:30 PM ET
Only way to avoid day 1 is to win out and hope UNC loses 2 or Cuse gets to
hokiepro 02/20/23 01:28 PM ET
Hope BC ends up with less than 10 W's too; likely, but not given
Pylons 02/20/23 01:49 PM ET
Yeah. I guess it’s possible but very unlikely
hokiepro 02/20/23 01:53 PM ET
Well, if we're considering VT winning out...**
