Duke wins. Can't decide whether that is good for VT or not.

It’s absolutely good because they’re already likely to host if they keep
Winning in ACC play. This win boosts our RPI because we beat them, boosts our best KPI win most likely too, hurts slightly the RPI of those SEC schools near us that’ve played UT

At this point it's likely good. Unless they collapse Duke is hosting.
Lots of moving parts. After Duke, I'm seeing two more host sites to be decided between us, FSU and, after this last weekend, Stanford. The only way to absolutely assure hosting is for VT to win out in the regular season. Do that and the tournament doesn't matter much. Anything less we put both tournament and the committee in play. That combination put us Alabama last year :(

It’s still a 100% total joke if UGa hosts over us

With OK, FL, and Tx left, there's a lot of softball to play yet. Not worth
the effort to think about it at this point. There will be lots of ups and downs before selection day.

We need to win; if we lose one it needs to be to UNC
I think now if we go 9-1 with loss only to UNC OR maybe GT if they finish top 50 that’ll do it regardless of ACCT

Right, I just hate to see them boost their resume to get a higher seed than
us. Unlikely we'd jump Tennessee because of this loss.

Tennessee is not dropping because of this one loss.

They almost certainly were anyway unless we win out and
They lose a couple And maybe we beat them and win ACCT. Their SoS & RPI plus them winning series vs us will put them in the 8-10 range. They’re playing to get to top 8. We’re closer to FSU than Duke in resume
