Let me be the first to say Director of Athletics Lyke will deserve a massive raise if we make the tournament tonight.

Gotta have faith that lyke can work some magic. Have faith. Just trying to manifest good vibes
I love Heather Lyke..... but why?
She has absolutely no sway or influence (or even potential sway or influence) on the committee. This isn't like maneuvering with the conference/bowls to get a better bowl game.
No AD in the country, except those on the committee - and there are actually only a couple of those - can do anything.
I am real curious as to what "magic" you think an AD can "work" for the NCAA Basketball selection?
Too many people still with football-centric mindsets that think AD's can maneuver with bowls to get a better destination. It doesn't work like that.
She has zero input on what’s going on today
And?
Actually, no. The committee makes no contacts with the outside world for the final 24-48 hours. They literally can't even take their phones in the room.
Whether they have personal biases or not is unknown. Being human, they probably do.
But there's 12 committee members.... and unless 7+ of them have biases in your favor, it isn't going to do any good.
Even if Heather could "get a message" to Bubba Cunningham - not that she'd need to, because Bubba probably already has a pro-ACC bias - he is only one of 12 committee members.
They're watching the games on TV - so they might've heard him.
But I wouldn't be surprised if they're watching the games with the sound off.
