Has any team without a double bye even won/survived these tournaments? The schedule is inhuman.

From your lips to the hardwood gods' ears. It looks like even if Clemson sweeps the Bay Area schools, as long as Stanford beats SMU we'd be 12th or 13th either way, so either way a first-round revenge game against Georgia Tech, followed by a revenge game against Virginia Tech. Those both feel very winnable to me, though with this team, who knows...

Don't think so in WBB, but Virginia Tech pulled it off in MBB in 2022. NC State men made a miracle run through the ACC tournament (five wins in five days) in 2024, which is the year that they and the women's team both made the Final 4.

It already is a bloodbath. The biggest concern I see is that there are a number of teams on the bubble, fighting to host or fighting for a top seed that will play with a sense of desperation that frequently manifests itself as rough play with the potential for injury. Just about every season a key player or 2 or 3 gets injured around the end of the season, changing the fortunes of one or more teams.

2022 Miami was the #7 seed in the ACC tournament. Beat #10 Duke on Thursday, upset #2 Louisville on a buzzer beater, upset #3 Notre Dame on Saturday, but ultimately ran out of steam and lost to #1 seed State in the championship game.

Ok, so normally I post this in a separate thread, however thought I'd plop it here. Conference vs overall records, shading the top # teams based on Bracketology predictions. The lines within each conf indicate the seeding as of today, and phew, some of them are wild tourneys. Ii was today years old seeing that some conferences don't let all teams participate in the post season. Huh.
