    We didn’t move at all on the dance card. That should tell you that we may very well need to win the ACC Tournament.

    Maybe, Maybe not.

    Another way to look at it is that as I argued several weeks ago, winning the first game in the expanded ACCT doesn’t get you anything. A loss to a bad team could be devastating to someone on the bubble….but there is no way that beating a bad team is going to be worth very much.

    I’m pretty sure State moved up about 4 spots after the dance card was updated this morning. Of course it had more to do with those ahead of State losing than the Pack beating Miami.

    I’ve been taking screen shots of the Dance Card and State has been at 61 for several days.

    Could have sworn State was 65 yesterday but that’s why I don’t try to rely on my memory. One thing I did notice is the Pack has gone from 0.0% to 0.07%. #1 with a bullet baby!!!!

    Looks to me this is going Virginia’s way.

    I was just thinking that with all of the bubble teams that lost yesterday, we might move up the list by default.. I didn’t expect much of a bump to our resume from a neutral court win over Da U.

    The Dance Card archive page from 2008 still has their inputs listed:

    RPI (Ratings Percentage Index) Rank
    Conference RPI Rank
    Number of wins against teams ranked from 1-25 in RPI
    Difference in number of wins and losses in the conference
    Difference in number of wins and losses against teams ranked 26-50 in RPI
    Difference in number of wins and losses against teams ranked 51-100 in RPI

    One game between two bubble teams or bubble team/bad team just can’t make that big of a jump. State fans have to hope for several things:
    1) That the impact of a win over a Top25 is HUGE
    2) That State gets one today and another one tomorrow
    3) A lot of bubble teams lose quickly, ie today

    With FSU down 15 with 7:30 to go, there is no use in hoping for an FSU win to give State 3 Top-50 wins.

    Interesting…ESPN is listing us as a quality win for Pitt.

    Bruce Pearl begs to differ, LOL.

    Noles didn’t finish… Bennett’s Boys are Bad to Bone.

    Jamie Dixon, who I heard wanted to be the new “Gary Williams” sure ain’t respecting the Holes on their home floor….

    But Jamie… come on… just be Jamie Dixon… that’s good enough…

    Tarheel fans already turned the TV off.

    Bennett, UVA don’t get the respect they deserve. This is an EXCELLENT team that can go a long way. Final Four material.

    The Old Ghosts are in the Greensboro Coliseum!

    It appears that Uncle Roy is going to have to tell Marcus to play (shoot ) in the first half…

    ^^ Neither UVa making the final four, nor UVa going 1 and done would surprise me.

    Pitt opening up a can on the heels so far. Fun TV viewing for the entire family 😀

    Pitt 45 – UNC 31
    Pitt’s Zana is a rebounding/put back demon.

    Hole fans look depressed in the stands.

    The Holes are the only team I know that can be down by double digits an entire game and still get into the 1-and-1 bonus faster than their opponent. Must be that well known tendency of theirs in action…
