Idk… for those on the bubble you have to pass the eye test. And we certainly are not right now. The committee doesn't care. At all. I see that Bluepenguin does not have UNC among the last 4 in or the next 4 in. So he projects UNC as not really on the bubble. Is he wrong?

1. I didn’t realize I was a comedian to illicit such laughter at a post. 2. Paul Sunderland was all about the bubble talk against VT and the barely over .500 record in the conference adds in suspicion.

I know that Sunderland does not have a good history predicting tournament teams. I know that Bluepenguin does, but he is by no means infallible. I certainly could be wrong, but when I look at teams people like penguin say are on the bubble and compare, I hope I am right that unc is safe.

Trojansc does a great job every year. Bluepenguin's work has also been very helpful to me (and many others) who try to track these issues systematically. Sunderland and most TV announcers have no idea.

Okay, lets not hit the panic button that we went 4 with Va Tech....the 2nd set was UGLY....but this same healthy Va Tech team played VERY close to Louisville in Castle Coliseum....they have some parts but have not been 100% until now. I think we learned how valuable our middles are. I am still frustrated that Peck and Skyy arent giving us much on the RS....in her defense, Skyy hasn't had enough consistent time to do so....
Against UVA, I saw an aggressive UNC team with a fire and effort I have not seen since the preseason....we dominated every facet of the game.
I think we are safely in IFFFFF we beat Duke on the road....Beating Miami this week would be a lock and a HUGE boost to RPI but Duke would be the opposite.
I for one, am glad we finally have a 20 win season again, first in 5 seasons....on another note, Joe said he does not plan on going anywhere anytime soon as he is determined to coach this new #8 incoming class.

It would help the entire conference if UNC landed in the top 25. Right now, they project just off it at #27, but that assumes they split their last two. If they win both instead, they just might sneak in. By the way, stop worrying about whether or not UNC makes it into the tourney. They're a lock, even if they lose out.
