What Needs To Happen

Here, as best as I can describe it, is what needs to happen for the Tigers to make the ACC Tournament in Jacksonville. First, they just need to win. The Tigers head to Atlanta this weekend for their final three games of the ACC regular season versus Georgia Tech. Win all three of those and the Tigers are all but assured of making it. At the very least, Jack Leggett's club need to win two games. Wake and Duke are the two teams with a real chance of chasing down the Tigers. As you know, both the Deacs and the Blue Devils have the tie breaker over the Tigers. Both Wake and Duke have six games left in ACC regular season play and they play each other this weekend in Winston-Salem. Wake has an 8-15 mark in league play and Duke sits at 8-14-1. One would think that one of these teams is going 1 and 2. That's what makes two wins this weekend a must. Next weekend Wake is on the road at Boston College and Duke is at Virginia Tech. The best thing that could happen for the Tigers is that Duke or Wake sweeps the series this weekend and the Tigers win two. If that happens, the Tigers are on their way to Jacksonville.
