Pittsburgh (11-17, 6-11) NET Ranking 160
Games Remaining – 3
Pittsburgh can’t make the NCAAs without an ACCT, but they can put a dent in other ACC teams’ at-large hopes, just ask UNC.
Chances to make the NCAA Tournament without ACCT Title – 0%
NC State (11-16, 4-12) NET Ranking 133
Games Remaining – 4
Just too many losses for NC State to get in NCAA’s as an at-large team.
Chances to make the NCAA Tournament without ACCT Title – 0%
Georgia Tech (11-15, 4-11) NET Ranking 166
Games Remaining – 5
Georgia Tech was officially moved to a 0% chance to makes the NCAAs as at at-large team after this week.
Chances to make the NCAA Tournament without ACCT Title – 0%
Boston College (9-16, 4-11) NET Ranking 169
Games Remaining – 5
Boston College was also officially eliminated this past week, even if won their last 5 regular season games and made the ACCT Finals.
Chances to make the NCAA Tournament without ACCT Title – 0%
Clemson (12-15, 4-12) NET Ranking 89
Games Remaining – 4
That would be 6 losses in a row to eliminate Clemson completely from any possible at-large chance.

Louisville (12-14, 6-10) NET Ranking 130
Games Remaining – 5
Say Louisville wins their last 5 games, and wins 3 or 4 to reach the ACCT Finals. Would that be enough? There’s virtually zero chance it would be.
Chances to make the NCAA Tournament without ACCT Title – 1%
Florida State (14-12, 7-9) NET Ranking 96
Games Remaining – 4
The chances of FSU finishing on a 7-1 run, seems really unlikely – not with all those injuries.
Chances to make the NCAA Tournament without ACCT Title – 1%
Syracuse (14-12, 8-7) NET Ranking 86
Games Remaining – 5
Ok if Syracuse wins out in the regular season, then reach the ACCT finals, that could sneak them in. So you are saying there’s a chance?
Chances to make the NCAA Tournament without ACCT Title – 5%
Virginia (17-10, 11-6) NET Ranking 82
Games Remaining – 3
Virginia probably needs to win 2 of their last 3, and make a deep ACCT run, but their Q1 wins is pretty good for an ACC team. I think they need to hit 20-21 wins to feel like they are solidly on the bubble.
Chances to make the NCAA Tournament without ACCT Title – 40%
Virginia Tech (16-11, 8-8) NET Ranking 37
Games Remaining – 4
If Virginia Tech could have beat UNC following the win over Virginia, I would have had their chances of making the NCAA field at over 50%. Their number is also 20-21 wins like Virginia.
Chances to make the NCAA Tournament without ACCT Title – 40%
North Carolina (19-8, 11-5) NET Ranking 45
Games Remaining – 4
Ok What happened against Pittsburgh? The win over Virginia Tech somewhat righted the ship. UNC needs to target 21-22 wins.
Chances to make the NCAA Tournament without ACCT Title – 65%
Miami (19-8, 11-5) NET Ranking 63
Games Remaining – 4
I still like Miami’s chances, but they are not a lock. They have to hit that 21-22 win mark.
Chances to make the NCAA Tournament without ACCT Title – 75%
Wake Forest (21-7, 11-6) NET Ranking 38
Games Remaining – 3
If Wake Forest can win 2 of their final 3, they should be dancing. Clemson, Louisville, and NC State are the remaining games.
Chances to make the NCAA Tournament without ACCT Title – 80%
Notre Dame (19-8, 12-4) NET Ranking 57
Games Remaining – 4
Notre Dame just needs a 2-2 finish against Syracuse, Georgia Tech, FSU and Pitt and they should feel good entering the NCAAs. Win three and they are in as a lock.
Chances to make the NCAA Tournament without ACCT Title – 90%
Duke (23-4, 13-3) NET Ranking 12
Games Remaining – 4
Duke doesn’t have to win another game and they will make the NCAAS. They just won’t like their seeding if that happens.
