GT game thread

We have won four of the past five and are still on track for a 11-7 if not better record. This is a road game so it will not be as boring as the last game but this one will not come down to a final shot.
I think we win by 8 points. 79-71.

    Assuming we win out, we need just a loss by UVA to lock up the 4 seed. If UVA had won out including today, then we would have needed a UNC loss to Duke and Duke only. A UNC loss to MD and them winning against Duke would have had us losing the tiebreak to UNC for the 4 seed. Given that UVA is shaky on the road and MD can sometimes be a tough out when they are away, I think it makes some sense to state that we were helped by the UVA loss to BC.

    Now, assuming we win out, we have one UVA loss in either of their two upcoming games to lock up 4th and still can end up third if UNC also loses to Duke. If UNC loses to MD and beats Duke we lose the 3 seed to a tiebreak but at least we would also be considered at a tie for 3rd for the regular season standings, so UNC fans wouldn’t be able to say they finished higher in the regular season in their “down year”…I’ll take those odds over UVA finishing in 3rd alone and us scrapping against UNC over the 4 seed.

    UVA in 3rd alone in the ACC regular season with the crap way they play is a great way to show how far the ACC has fallen as a conference.
