Coaching wins

[triaddukefan]

Cherry with the game-winning 3-pointer with 0:02 remaining. That was right after the GaTech player missed 1 of 2 free throws. Ouch. GaTech has killed its tournament chances with a whole slew of nail-biter and overtime losses.

UNC is now 2 games over .500, but their last 3 games are against Louisville, NC State and Duke. Unless they can win one of those, Sylvia will need two wins in the ACC tournament to finish at .500 and be eligible for the WNIT. But if they can pull a shocker in one of those 3 games, Sylvia is guaranteed a .500 finish. What suspense!

I was at the Duke-Wake Forest game checking my phone during the time-outs..... I figured that the heels would fall apart in the 4th quarter. Checked after the game an Tech was up by 1 with about 16 seconds left. Checked again while I warmed up the car and saw that UNC pulled it out I think their best chance is vs Louisville.

If Geno stays for 5 additional years, he should become the coach with the most wins in NCAA wbb history with somewhere around 1150 wins or more...

Tara at this point has 1002? wins... She is a year older than Geno. The gap is 22 games between them... Tara's 38 year average is 26.36 per year; Geno's is 30.6. At the historical rates, he picks up 16 games on her in 4 years and in year 5 should surpass her even if she does not retire at 68.

Hatchell & CVS lose again. Heels fall to 14-14 with only Duke game remaining. Would need a win there or wins in at least 2 ACC_T games to get a postseason bid.

When does the window close for Hatchell winning 1000 this year close? She needs 11 wins to get there. UNC has one regular season game left. Assuming a win, that means 10 more wins are needed. For the strongest programs, the post-season has generally been a maximum of 9 games (3 in conf. tourn. and 6 in NCAAs) which would already have excluded Hatchell from winning 1000 this year. So what's the maximum # of games UNC could play (and, therefore, win) in the ACC tourney?

[Frenchy]

If there are any justice in this world Hatchell's record should get a major hit once the NCAA"s hammer comes down after the season is over.
Although Stevens is staying close to this bunch, her record is not on the same plane. As it was mentioned earlier on this board, she is a D-2 coach. Although at one time she was a D-1 coach for 3 years, the NCAA rule requires a continuous 5 year stint in D-1 division to roll over D-2 or D-3 records.

 

[Frenchy]

When is Tara going to show up here? She still owes us a rematch. Oregon may put a hurt on Stanford during the play-off which is good for Uconn.

So anything short of winning out, including both an ACC and an NCAA title means Hatchell can't get to 1000 this year.

Oh sorry. 5 acc games.
Either way it's not gonna happen this season!

Actually, doesn't the ACC tournament use a double-bye format? Which, in a 15-team conference, would mean that the bottom 6 teams could hypothetically play up to 5 games. UNC is currently tied for 12th in the conference.

Yes, but I don't think you're gonna have to worry about it.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Their game on 'Sunday is still regular season. Pairings for the conference tournament are not set yet.

 

[Plebe]

I'm not the slightest bit worried. I was just being a fact nerd.

UNC will have a good chance of winning its first game against another ACC bottom-feeder. After that, they'll likely have to play the #5 or #6 seed in the conference tourney, which will probably be Louisville, NC State or Syracuse. This game will be all the more important for UNC because winning it would make them postseason-eligible and allow them to receive a WNIT bid. That said, they'll be very unlikely to win that game, although they did beat NC State earlier this year.

That ship may have sailed shortly after the USS Tennessee. There are now at least three other strong PAC12 teams to link up with, should UCONN wish to plumb the delights of our Left Coast. Corvallis and Seattle are beautiful in the Fall.

Also, no big deal closing the deal with a Stanford victory. Tennessee won the last three matchups with UCONN, and since them UCONN has made the past nine final fours. I remember once when Jimmy Connors was asked why he wasn't ever playing top-ranked John Newcombe. His reply: "I don't know, but every time I reach a final, he's not there." Been a long time between Finals for Stanford and Tennessee

If anything, we should be chasing down LaSalle, who won all three games with UCONN. Geno, the good Philadelphia native, must hear Dave "The Zink" Zinkoff yelling "Gola goal, Gola goal, Gola goal" in his sleep.

Adios to the tree. Bring on the Explorers!

Mr. Plebe.. You are a good and informed poster.. But You have much more confidence in the heels than most do. After the ram stomping they will most likely received later today.. They will be either the 14 or 15 seed in the tourney. I can't name one team in the conference that I would favor them in a game at this point. Most likely they will be playing without their second best player Watts for the rest of the season. Their best player Kea is also banged up.

When did Stephanie Watts get hurt? I would've considered her, not Kea, their best player.

Not quite sure.. I know she didn't play the last game vs State.. Not sure if she played vs Louisville either. Watts has the higher ceiling... But Kea is more consistent in my opinion.

Hmm, let's see here. This is currently the bottom of the ACC:
11. Pitt, 4-11 (hosts Syracuse)
12T. Virginia Tech, 3-12 (plays at Boston College)
12T. North Carolina, 3-12 (hosts Duke)
14. Clemson, 3-13 (bye)
15. Boston College, 2-13 (hosts Virginia Tech)

Assuming they do indeed get stomped by Duke then UNC would be 3-13 and tied with Clemson. If BC beats VT, then it will be a four-way tie for 12th-15th. If VT beats BC, then it's a two-way tie for 13th-14th.

What is the ACC's tiebreaker procedure for 2-way and 4-way ties in determining tourney seeding?

Not sure about four way tiebreakers.. But considering the heels have just beaten UVA.. State, and the wasps this season.. They probably lose all the possible tiebreakers

Actually.. Artichoke put up a good thread a few days ago with a link that enables u to sort out all the conference tournaments and seedings
