ACC Tournament Matchups Decided

I messed it up slightly last time...here's the fixed version.
Maryland pretty much got the best possible outcome. I'm sure NCSt will be want some revenge for Vaz's last-second, unnecessary three-pointer, but I'd still rather play the Wuffies than Jack McClinton and Miami. Of course, I'm still expecting a blowout loss, but the odds are better.
If they win that one, the Terps play Wake Forest in the second round. The Deacs are obviously beatable - one could argue that the Terps should've finished them off a few days ago. Obviously, they didn't, but it's still a winnable game. Again, I'm expecting a blowout loss, but I'd rather have Wake than any other team except FSU.
If by some miracle they win that one, it'd probably be UNC. That's the point you know the dream is over. But we can dream, right? Where's John Gilchrist?

interesting note

this article says that these are the teams on the good side of the bubble:
Creighton, Minnesota, Michigan, South Carolina, Maryland, Penn State, Arizona, St. Mary’s
while these teams are on the bad side of the buble:
San Diego State, Miami (FL), Nevada-Las Vegas, New Mexico, Virginia Tech, Rhode Island, Davidson, Providence, Kentucky
Do you think even if we beat NC State, but lose to Wake Forest in a close game, Maryland will be excluded?
It'll be interesting
There’ll certainly be an argument for and against it. We’ll have to sweat it out Sunday. If I had to venture a guess, I’d say we get left out, though not by much.
If we don't beat Wake, it's NIT here we come.
No way MD makes the 65 if they don’t win at least 2 in the ACC, and at 7-9 regular season in conference, I’m not sure 2 will be enough.

2 is easily enough
Wins over Wake (top 10), UNC (#1), and Michigan State (top 10) combined with a 20 win season and an ACC record (when you include the tourney) better than .500? We win two, we punch our ticket. Probably be a 10 seed (probably
One’s tougher. A lot of bubble teams are ****ing the bed worse than even we did. Also, no team can point to wins over two top 10 teams. It’ll be close, especially if we stay close to Wake. Right now no one can say anyway, because nothing’s been decided yet, but NIT isn’t a guarantee with one win.
2 and we are in
How could you keep us out with wins over
MSU
NC
Wake
Miami
FSU
Virginia
NC State (2X)
Michigan
over 20 wins…
.500 in the ACC including conferance play…and we’d be heading in to the tourny strong, something the selection committee likes…
I disagree that we would get a 10 seed if that scenario were to play out. I think it’d probably be higher.
