But the Dookies and Lamers have 4 games remaining - Duke with NC State, which has been playing relatively good lately, and The Lamers have BC at South Bend. By my calculations we need the Lamers to lose at least one game to keep them out of 4th place. I’m sure @VTChip will provide us with a rooting guide for next weekends games and what will happen in the various scenarios regarding finishing in the top 4 of the ACC regular season standings.

Only ten teams will be playing in the ACC tournament. So, at this point it looks like the Cheats, Boston College and the Hoos won’t be playing in the tourney. This could definitely change after next weekend’s games though, but it looks like the Hoos are most likely entrenched in last place anyway.
