Will a win against Notre Dame & one in the ACC tourney get us in? What do you think?

I say 3. You always have upsets in conference tourneys and

you are competing with the other bubble teams. The more of them that win, the harder it is for us to make a pathway to the dance.

Notre Dame is likely an elimination game. They need to win that to have a chance at an at-large bid. Then they likely need to reach the ACC Championship game so 2 wins (assuming we're the 4-seed with a double-bye). They really needed to beat Louisville or Virginia.

I believe that 3 wins from here is the number also.

A win Saturday plus one in the ACCT puts us at 23-10, which is a good overall record but doesn't overcome the very low NET. Wake Forest was left out last year with the same record and similar NET. Heck, Notre Dame finished 2nd in the ACC standings and had 25 wins pre-tourney and was a Last 4 in, playing in Dayton.
We need 3 from here, most definitely. One Saturday and two in the ACCT, which would essentially have us in the finals if we get the double bye. It would be Brad's first multiple-win ACCT if that happens, so not as encouraging, but anything's possible.
Year 13 - One can dream.
Go Tigers!

All true. I do believe PJ is so important the selction committee will look at the early season L's in a different way due to him playing injured. Louisville is not like Va obviously. That one hurts us. for sure in the metrics. If we can get the double bye we better be prepared to make good use of it.

Had we beaten UVA and then ND, one win in the ACCT might have been enough. Losing that UVA game means in my mind we need to win 2 in the ACCT to be in position. Obviously, a loss to ND would mean winning the tourney or going home.

Honestly, we need to win the ACC tournament to make certain.

If we get a top-4 seed, there is no reason why we can’t win the ACC tournament.
It starts Saturday night versus a woeful ND team in Littlejohn in senior night. A win gives us a top-4 finish.
Barring the NIT (perish the thought) Hunter Tyson will be playing his last game in LJ against The Irish. He should be very motivated by that and so should the rest of the team and the fans as well.
This should be a huge statement game if this team is going to finish strong.

Agreed. And if we can’t beat ND, then we don’t deserve to be in the NCAA Tournament.***

If Top 4 ACCT, 2 wins for "play in", 3 wins a regular "in"
