# | Buzzketball Central: ACC Remaining Regular Season and Projected ACC Tourney Bracket 
Speaking of Bonnie, she was available in the off season and ended up at UC Santa Barbara, where she is 11-18, 8-7. Painful to remember that she finished her career here with a 158-62 record with a post season in each year she was here. Five NCAA's and two NIT's in seven years. What a botch job by Weaver.
Sure it makes a sound but the odds of it hitting anyone is usually zero.... except when the Hokies come to town with their football team and a football crowd.
Hawkeye's eyes tell it all:

But seriously, congratulations!

# | Buzzketball Central: ACC Remaining Regular Season and Projected ACC Tourney Bracket 
BUZZFEED TITLE: Cops alerted to Kam Chancellor, approaching 2 women locked in a building where he allegedly runs a women's boot camp.
Whit, looks like you're up again, how about another home run?
I think a Slam Dunk would be more appropriate. TJMT
The thought of the ceiling of this team next year really makes me highly doubt that Buzz would even think of being lured away somewhere else. The ACC will be going to be up for grabs next year other than UNC and Duke retooling. These offseasons are starting to get after ya with anticipation .
Agree with the prevailing sentiment for all of the reasons stated. Whit, looks like you're up again, how about another home run?

# | Buzzketball Central: ACC Remaining Regular Season and Projected ACC Tourney Bracket ACC Tournament Seeding Procedures
(1) When two teams are tied in the standings, regular season head-to-head results are used as the tiebreaker.
(2) If the tied teams played each other twice in the regular season and split their games, then each team's record vs. the team occupying the highest position in the final regular season standings (or in case of a tie for first place, the next highest position in the regular season standings) and then continuing down through the standings until one team gains an advantage.
a. When arriving at another pair of tied teams while comparing records, use each team's record against
the collective tied teams as a group (prior to their own tie-breaking procedures), rather than the performance against the individual tied teams.
b. When comparing records against a single team or a group of teams, the higher winning percentage shall
prevail, even if the number of games played against a team or group is unequal. (i.e., 2-0 is better than 3-1;
1-0 is the same as 2-0; 2-0 is the same as 4-0; 2-1 is the same as 4-2; 1-0 is better than 1-1; 0-1 is the
same as 0-2; 0-2 is the same as 0-4). If the winning percentage of the tied teams is equal against a team,
or a group of tied teams, continue down through the standings until one team gains an advantage.
(3) If three or more teams are tied in the standings, the following procedures will be used:
a. The combined record of conference games between the tied teams involved will be compiled. Ties
will be broken, and seedings assigned, based on the winning percentage of the combined conference records. The higher winning percentage shall prevail, even if the number of games played against the team
or group is unequal (i.e., 2-0 is better than 3-1; 1-0 is the same as 2-0; 2-0 is the same as 4-0; 2-1 is the
same as 4-2; 1-0 is better than 1-1; 0-1 is the same as 0-2; 0-2 is the same as 0-4).
b. If procedure (a) fails to break the tie, then each tied team's record shall be compared to the team
occupying the highest position in the final regular-season standings, continuing down through the standings until one team gains an advantage by a higher winning percentage.
c. If the tie is broken by (a) or (b) regarding one or more teams, but three or more teams remain tied,
then procedures (a) and (b) will be reapplied among those tied teams only.
d. If two teams remain tied, procedures (1) and (2) will be followed.
(4) If there is more than one tie in the standings, and when utilizing the tie-breaking procedures there are a pair
of teams tied, a team's record against the combined tied teams (prior to their own tie-breaking procedures)
is used, rather than performance against the individual tied teams.
(5) If procedures (2) and/or (3) fail to establish an advantage, a coin flip to break the tie will be conducted by the
commissioner after the final regular season game before the Conference Championship
Based on these rules, if Miami and UNC remain tied for the best record in the conference than UNC will win because they won the head to head matchup. Miami has us and UNC goes to Duke. They are currently tied so this last game is huge for both teams.
Miami wins, UNC wins - UNC #1, Miami #2
Miami wins, UNC loses - Miami #1, UNC depends
UNC wins, Miami loses - UNC #1, Miami depends
Miami loses, UNC loses, UVA wins - See seeding 2 above for tie breaking based on combined ACC schedule.
Miami wins UVA wins, Duke wins and UNC loses - Miami #1, UVA #2, UNC #3 based on head to head, Duke #4 based on record
Miami wins, UVA loses, UNC loses, and Duke wins - Miami #1, UNC #2, Duke #3, UVA #4
UNC wins, Miami loses, UVA wins, and Duke wins - UNC #1, UVA #2, Miami #3, Duke #4 based on UVA/Miami record vs UNC
UNC wins, Miami wins, UVA wins and Duke loses -UNC #1, Miami #2, UVA #3, Duke depends
Assuming UNC, Miami and UVA hold #1-3, Duke loses, Notre Dame wins - ND #4, Duke #5
Assuming UNC, Miami and UVA hold #1-3, Duke wins, Notre Dame wins - Duke #4, ND #5
Assuming UNC, Miami, UVA and Duke hold #1-4, Notre Dame loses, this is where it starts to turn into a huge cluster.
Notre Dame loses and they drop to 10-8 in conference. There are four teams sitting at 9-8 right now in Syracuse, Pitt, VT and Clemson. None of these teams play each other in the final game. There are any number of possibilities based on who wins and loses in this group. Needless to say, Tech could finish as high as #6 or as low as #9 as of right now. We would lose head to head with Notre Dame and Syracuse directly. We would lose head to head with Pittsburgh if we both lose and Duke finishes ahead of UVA, if we both lose and UVA finishes ahead of Duke than we win head to head. We would win head to head against Clemson. If we both win, we would win head to head against Pitt because of our record against Miami.
Based on opponents right now I see this group finishing like this:
ND #5, Pitt #6, Syracuse #7, Clemson #8, Virginia Tech #9
Notre Dame gets NC State, who needed a buzzer beater to beat BC last night.
Pitt is at Georgia Tech (GT did have its four game winning streak snapped last night by Louisville)
Syracuse is at Florida State (FSU upset ND their last time out but had lost their previous five straight, three by double digits, one of those to Syracuse)
Clemson is at BC (they have lost three in a row and five of their last seven but one of those two wins was a ten point win over BC)
Virginia Tech home against Miami. I just dont see us beating this team. They come in having beat UVA, Notre Dame and Louisville. They have a regular season championship on the line and they have senior leadership on the team.
Beyond the #9 spot, FSU and Georgia Tech are both 7-10 right now in conference so however their games go will determine #10 and #11.
FSU wins, GT wins - GT #10 and FSU #11
FSU loses, GT wins - GT #10 and FSU #11
FSU wins, GT loses - FSU #10 and GT #11
NC State is #12
Wake Forest is #13
Boston College is #14
Louisville is #15/DQed
Math and logic are hard.
I would not want to play this team in the ACC tournament. And I especially would not want to play this team next year. Everything is falling into place.
With the way Buzz has these boys playing I wouldn't be surprised at all that this is him!
"Movin' on up!" keeps ringing in my ears this morning. "We've finally got a piece of the PIE!!!!!"
Title
Yeah, honestly the title smells of clickbait. It's no where near buzzfeed bad, but the scent is there.
dang..wish you could've come out when the going was much tougher. It definitely makes it sweeter having gone and sat thru the tough times. Seeing the growth has been refreshing.
THIS! I felt the same way..in the past it was a "welp it's gonna be one of those nights.." type of feeling. The past 10-11 years that I've sat in cassell, you could always tell if we were going to play well or play poorly by the first media timeout. This year has been refreshing to see because you never think were out of it, no matter how the game starts. That is a credit to the mental toughness this team has developed. And as far as I'm concerned, that's just as important as wins and losses.
FWIW heard from #sources that Stiney turned down a job at Miami and Richt to stay closer to home and coach at his alma mater. Not sure how much they were offering, but I'm sure it's more than he is making now.
The corps of cadets is not for everyone. My experience, while heavily tainted with my immaturity and youth, was not something I would have gone through had I known more about what I was getting into. Now, this was in the late 60s, and I know things have changed, but not all students are ready for the demands and challenges of being a rat, being in the band, and trying to acclimate to the rigors of college life, all at 17-18 years old. Dragging the Upper Quad, squaring meals while trying to regurgitate idiotic "freshman knowledge", spit shining shoes and polishing brass when I should have been studying, band practice, traveling for parades, etc., was tough for someone who was apparently too immature to structure it all successfully. In those days, if you left the corps in your freshman year, you had to wait a year before coming back to school, and with the draft lurking, well, things were different. Also, with the addition of the Marching Virginians, one can now actually be in marching band at VT without the corps participation, but that was not available for me. While I made it through my rat year, the academic damage I did to myself trying to grow up and keep the upperclassmen off of my butt and fulfilling the responsibilities of marching/playing in the HTs did me in. After serving in the real military, I came back as a civilian and easily handled the academics,had a ton of fun, graduated, and while I will always respect the corps, I wouldn't recommend it for most folks who aren't looking for a military career.
Please understand, I don't blame the corps itself for my experience, it was largely on me, but my memories are decidedly more unpleasant than pleasant from my first year and a half at VT, and nothing but fantastic from the rest of my matriculation.
For those who don't know, or haven't heard, Graham's killer plead guilty to her murder in addition to the murder of Morgan Harrington. He will die in custody.
