After last season's selection process, many here claim that conference

tournament wins have little bearing on selections. I would have to say that I tend to agree with that sentiment. aTm made a big run in the SEC tournament, but lost, and didn't end up "in". We made a big run and won ours, securing the auto-bid. It sounded like we would not have been selected just for making it to the finals. Of course, every year is different and there are tons of moving parts right up until the end.

If by some miracle we win out and end up 10-10 in conf play is it enough?
hokieinoregon • 02/21/23 08:47 AM ET
At least two in the tournament. 10-10 should get us seeded ahead of the

The problem at this point is the number of teams on the bubble ahead of VT
mateo • 02/21/23 02:28 PM ET
fwiw, there are four games remaining**
Pylons • 02/21/23 03:28 PM ET
The bubble is getting softer every day..every resume will have huge holes**
VermontDDS • 02/21/23 01:52 PM ET
But, once again... how many bid stealers will there be?**
No_Limit_Hokie • 02/21/23 01:56 PM ET
it's impossible to set a number on wins required. Just do your best
VermontDDS • 02/21/23 02:30 PM ET
They do if you lose a bad game, ask Wake last year**
soflahokie • 02/21/23 03:01 PM ET
I'd lean towards no, but BC continuing to win
hoosnowahokie • 02/21/23 01:18 PM ET
Every time I start thinking about this, we lay an egg, so Miami big tonight**
hokieZ71 • 02/21/23 01:05 PM ET
10-10 puts us at no better than the 8/9 seed game.
hokieZ71 • 02/21/23 01:04 PM ET
I thought the committee doesn't take in account ACC tournament wins
VT_NOVA • 02/21/23 01:03 PM ET
That seems to be the conventional wisdom,
Pylons • 02/21/23 01:11 PM ET
Even with that, we'd need a huge run in the ACC tournament IHMO
Zanderhokie • 02/21/23 11:06 AM ET
There would be good arguments both for and against
Pylons • 02/21/23 12:20 PM ET
It's possible
Pylons • 02/21/23 10:37 AM ET
No. Our bad losses trump any remaining wins. Only route is ACCT victory.**
VT ChemE 1986 • 02/21/23 09:43 AM ET
I don't think that's the case...
GCHokie34 • 02/21/23 11:35 AM ET
I admire your faith, but I am not going to hold my breath :)**
VT ChemE 1986 • 02/21/23 12:14 PM ET
In this scenario, is Miami a Q1 win?**
No_Limit_Hokie • 02/21/23 11:39 AM ET
VT currently has 3 Q1 wins...
GCHokie34 • 02/21/23 12:04 PM ET
False. Miami & Duke would be quality
hokiepro • 02/21/23 10:31 AM ET
It’s insane that Miami is 31st in the NET
soflahokie • 02/21/23 10:48 AM ET
It’s because they’ve already played 3 games vs UL and FSU
hokiepro • 02/21/23 10:55 AM ET
I posted this down below, need to win out and make the semis
soflahokie • 02/21/23 09:40 AM ET
If we win out, that will include 2 more Q1 wins, so maybe it would be
Hokie`79 • 02/21/23 09:31 AM ET
I doubt it because of our bad losses( 2 BC and GT).

HeisenBurg13 • 02/21/23 08:53 AM ET
I think we’d have been put in Dayton in last 4 in on Wednesday if we’d lost
hokiepro • 02/21/23 10:52 AM ET
Mmm.... I dunno, pro. Sure glad we didn't have to find out!**
No_Limit_Hokie • 02/21/23 11:01 AM ET
Every season, the question is - how many bid stealers?**
