This game deserves it's on thread. A Miami win opens up the 9th seed for Wake. With a Miami win Wake controls it's own destiny for a 1st round bye. A VT win and we likely slot into the 10th seed.
 
Virginia Tech win locks Wake into the 10 or 11 seed.

As mentioned above, Miami win and Wake controls their own destiny to avoid playing Tuesday.
 
VT is 15-1 at home with win over Duke, UVA, Cuse (their one loss was to ND). Miami is 3-4 on the ACC Road. Miami is in a letdown spot coming off the big win over Duke.

KP projects a 70-69 VT win. VT has been shooting at a ridiculous pace from 3 over its recent games:

- 17 for 26 65% against L'ville
- 12 for 22 55% against Clemson
- 12 for 18 67% against BC

Hard to think that pace -- 41 for 66 is sustainable (Ty Outlaw is 13 for 16 from three alone).

A Miami win would also give them an outside shot at sneaking into the RPI top 25 (would need to win 2 more including ACC tourney) which would be huge for us.

Well, if VT shoots 60% from 3, they are going to beat almost anyone (L'ville managed to beat VT even when VT shot 65% from 3), but there should be a regression to the mean as their shooting percentage has verged on the incredbile. Prior to the VT hot streak from 3, VT was a an average outside shooting team. Prior to Chris Clarke's injury, Ty Outlaw had very limited minutes and shot 10 for 37 from 3 in 13 ACC games. In his last 3 games when he went 11 for 13 from 3, Outlaw has averaged 36 minutes a game, and has had O Rating of over 200 in two of those games. Either Buzz Williams wildly under-rated his talent or Outlaw is playing out his arse (I would guess the latter).

Outlaw 4/5 in the first half. Seems to be sustaining this ridiculous streak
 
This Champ Week commercial and Devin Thomas's sour losing face is really pissing me off
 
Outlaw's made 40 threes on the season and has almost 20 in his last 4 games. Earlier in the season he had an 8 game stretch where he shot 20% (4/20) from deep. Seems crazy random.

Imagine how good we'd be if Dinos just randomly started shooting 75% from deep for 4 or 5 straight games...
