As 12 seed in ACC tournament VT has really good path to go far 1st round
WF win and we get Clemson win and we get UNC. Two wins and we might sneak in tourney as one of last 4. Win 3 and one would hope that would do it. Bracketology I looked at today had us in last 4 out, had Belmont in as 12th seed playing Vandy 5 seed 1st round. Belmont looks to be last in for that Bracketology.

Save yourself some heartache

True, I can't watch them live anymore have to tape it. Then if they don't
Choke I watch and enjoy.

Not based on being in last 4 out very variable, I think we pass the eye
Test well have been competitive against alot of really good teams and have no bad losses.

You actually have to win in more of those games than we did

Well we lost today and finished 12th in the league
Im not sure where “passed the eye test” is on the committee’s list of metrics. If we make a run in the ACCT to the finals, maybe we’re in the discussion depending how other bubble teams perform but I just don't see it. Hope you’re right.

If one looks at acc standings we look bad. If you look at net quads 1-4 rec
We look right on bubble. If you watched us play anyone good besides FSU we passed the eye test. If Johnson can make impact and we win 2 or 3 in ACC tournament a strong argument can be made to put us in tournament lots of very close losses in Q1 games lots of injuries among starters for most of season. If we have everyone healthy and look good in ACC tournament play why not? If I am betting, I'd say no, but I think we have better chance to win game or two in ncaa than say Belmont or others above us in net

Weren’t we picked to finish 12th in the ACC? Pretty good prediction.

Helluva job by the pickers to know VT would be at full strength for 3 games

Helluva job by CMY and company to blow the SMU and Stanford games.
There would be no NIT talk with those choked games.

Exactly, and those two games cost in the tournament

People would get peeved when some of us were concerned about some of those
earlier season losses. "Lots of games left to play". But, after living through the Greenberg and now Mike Young eras, we have a sense that this team will always be on the bubble and every game can make a difference between NCAA and NIT. I just want to get to MSG. We have been to NIT so many times and fallen short.

CMY teams rarely surprise, pretty much unwatchable
You know it’s coming, just when and how do we blow it.

Had the ball up 4 with :07 left. It was absolute choke job. Half court shot
was a result of the choke.

He's supposed to use his coach voodoo to make them miss

You know he should have engrained what to do in those situations. Those 2
games was the downfall and all resonates in his lap. He knows that.

For the 100th time, they did exactly what they were supposed to do at SMU
Dude hit a 50ft prayer...revisionist feelings on a prayer are a bit silly
VTMONEY94 VTMONEY94

It was not the last shot and you know that. It was the chaos that lead up
to that shot. Damn, just stop. This season is on CMY for those 2 losses along with the WF loss but I kind of understand that one. Mike gets his last chance next year and I hope it goes well.

But if the last shot rims out then VT doesnt finish 12th...
...ya know...the whole point of the thread

Nope, CMY failed this year Coach your last season and hopefully it goes
well. Why in the hell are you defending the SMU and Stanford games. Certifiably insane at this point, ** Edited by VTMONEY94 at 3/7/2026, 6:22:58 PM

Blowing a four point lead with the ball and :07 left is.

Again, I never said the last shot was the daggar. Play like a well coached
team and you are NOT in that position.

Belmont is not going to make it.
Especially after SMU and NC State have dropped

I don't see how ncsu or smu have anything to do with Belmont in or not in?
Likely has more to do with how many bids lost to upsets like if Miami of Ohio had lost.
