Joe Lunardi talks Hokies
I asked ESPN “bracketologist” Joe Lunardi on Thursday about Virginia Tech’s NCAA chances. If the Hokies beat Wake Forest and Clemson to finish 10-6 in the ACC, would they lock up a bid? That would be “premature” thinking, he said. But if they also get a win in the ACC Tournament, he said they’ll be in fine shape. He said that while they would have a similar “profile” as 2007 wallflower Syracuse — which was left out despite 22 wins, 10 Big East wins and a win in the Big East tournament — they would benefit by being in a weaker mix of bubble teams than last year’s bunch. — Mark Berman
