On the heels of Sunday night’s 67-55 loss at Duke, Virginia Tech is now 21-5
and 8-4 in the ACC. In most years that would be considered a lock for the NCAA
tournament, but because of Tech’s non-conference schedule, they are going to
need to win two more games to feel confident about a tournament invite.
For the first time, let’s go ahead and talk about Virginia Tech’s NCAA
tournament chances. Their resume is as follows:
Overall Record: 21-5
ACC Record: 8-4
RPI: #45
SOS: #140
Record vs. Top 50: 2-3
Record vs. Top 100: 6-5
Key Wins: Clemson, Wake Forest
Bad Losses: None
There are good things and bad things about that resume. The three good things
obviously stand out. First off, Tech is 21-5 and 8-4. Those are excellent
records. Secondly, they’ve done a solid job facing Top 50 and Top 100 teams this
year. Finally, they have not lost to anyone ranked outside the Top 100.
