Are people seriously talking about those schools outside of NC State potentially getting the ACC AQ?

2024 Pac 12 Tourney thread- #3 seed MEN'S bball (Las Vegas; their 1st game vs. #6 Utah/ #11 ASU winner, Thurs., 3/14, 9:30 PM MT, FS1)
- Thread starter AztecBuff
- Start date
I heard an interview with some guy who covers the ACC the other morning and he threw out the comment that western basketball isn't that good this year. Which is true if you're only talking about the very top of CBB but you know many in the media take that mindset out of context and make the leap that nobody out west is that good.
I swear some people in the media will probably be shocked to find out that 6 MWC teams will likely end up making the tournament. And of course you'll have a minimum of 3 in the Pac12 with decent seeds plus BYU, Gonzaga and St. Mary's.
Yes, in fact most have Seton Hall, UVA and Northwestern still in at this point
Composite http://www.bracketmatrix.com/#google_vignette
Northwestern - 9
Seton Hall - 11
Virginia - 11
Providence - 1st 4 out
Ohio State - last out
Iowa was on there yesterday but dropped out.
Yup, that's what I was looking at too. Only thing is I don't think all the brackets have been updated in the last day or 2
I guess I overlooked when you put northwestern in your original post, but I continue to be baffled by the love for Seton Hall.
Here’s a quick look:
I’d have a hard time putting Oregon higher than most of those teams but they compare well with Seton Hall.
The other thing is a lot of bracketologists have USF snagging the AAC aq bid and FAU getting an at-large. I think that's possible if FAU wins today to make the Final, but if they lose today to a less than mediocre Temple squad, there's no way FAU gets a bid and it opens a slot. Failing that, FAU needs to win the aq bid so the AAC is 1-bid.

Can we change Snow's username to chicken little?
Henny Penny?

I'd say you can see his talent at moments and his desire to make a difference, but either he lacks chemistry with the team to pass and play a team game, or he has a bit of Melo in him...but unlike Melo, he has missed too much time this year to be ready for the moment.

First of all, we're gonna win today so none of this matters.
That said, we have to win because I don't see the committee putting in four P12 teams. A month ago, it was two for sure, and maybe three depending on how CU, Utah and Oregon finished. I don't see them expanding P12 slots to 4 just because we've feasted on ourselves and it's supposedly a "down" year for the conference. It's crazy to think a team on an 8-game winning streak, with 3 road wins and 2 neutral site wins in that streak, could be at risk. But I think with our VERY weak non-con schedule, East Coast bias and just some bad luck, we're still right on the bubble.
Just. Win. Baby. SKO Buffs!

How can you be this obtuse?
He was pressing yesterday, wanting to make his mark in March. He’s gonna explode someday soon against some team who doesn’t play defense like the Cougs.
Maybe he’s sleep deprived. Like a real fan.
4 hours last night bitch! And I didn't even get to go snowboarding.

It fits you.
If we have to explain it, it breaks the mojo - correct?
I’m not sure how I feel about optimistic Seattlebuff. Next thing you know @ZandiBuff is going to post about how he wants the team to figure things out when the opponents go on a run and we shouldn’t call time out and @Darth Snow is going to be positive.
“Darth chicken little” it is.
I really want him to take a hard drive through contact and dunk on somebody.
He had a few nice drives through contact last night but still seemed a bit hesitant.
He’s so f’ing gifted, just need to shake off that rust and we could be in for something special.
I hesitate to even answer this. Do not explain it. Let him live in bliss with hokie
Or Henny Youngman.

Is 'specialer' a word?
Cody, but also BD and Ruffin are going to have to have 'A' games off the bench. KJ and Tristan have put up massive minutes.
It's the bestest word
Preseason, I posted a quote from Tad, talking about how he'd had a number of meetings with Dak, because he wanted Dak to redshirt. Tad said Dak told him "no way", he needed to play, not sit.
The thing that strikes me is the joy that Dak plays with. Reminds me of Evan that way.

Three years ago the PAC XII was under-represented, and a couple teams were under-seeded, and the conference sent three teams to the Elite 8.
