I believe we got a good seed, but I am shocked

We're the third highest ACC seed right? How did GTech, who finished higher than us in the regular season, and won the ACC Tourney, get a lower seed? I think playing Rutgers is a good seed for us. Can't ask for anymore IMO.

our resume, on the whole, is pretty good

It's better than most other ACC teams. We beat Alabama, Purdue, and FSU. Our only "bad" loss was the in the conference tournament.

The committee has said they try to not put too much emphasis on the conference tournament, but rather look at the whole.

That benefited us.

Definitely ignored the Conference Tourney

I guess losing to GA St. and Mercer early, really hurt GT.***

Yeah, ever though it was early on . . no pass on those losses.

The ACC tourney was not legit w/out Virginia.

Happy for Ga Tech, but definitely an “asterisk” event this year.

Of course you’re shocked, because you and others here

continue to think the worst about our program.

GT had some early season losses that hurt them***

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

Because realistically, we were about the 2/3rd ranked ACC team and played like the best for nearly much of the season. The initial post-covid break really snapped our rhythm. Otherwise, we would be right next to both FSU and UVA. Even 10-6, we played a harder than expected ACC season (no dates with BC, ND, only 1 with Pitt, Wake and 2 vs Miami. In the regular season, we were 4-0 against teams BELOW .500. Were 1-1 with the .500 teams (ie NC State and Duke), and then 5-5 against the dancing teams team above .500.

Think on that, we played 10 games VS those dancing ACC teams vs just four against the bottom dwellers.

Who said the ACC is "easier" now?

We have had the best OOC resume of any other ACC team. We are basically THE highlight reel for OOC ACC games.

Other ACC teams: UVA, VT had skids or did not play for a big chunk of the latter part of the season. GT had a really BAD losses early in the season and their 2-win ACC title really does not count for much for the tourney. If they had played and beaten UVA, then they might have even been a 5 seed. VT had a slightly softer schedule. I think they played the bottom teams more than we did, but I could be wrong.
