We win them both, we are 18-4, probably a top 20ish RPI, we'd have a win over a team (UVA) that is a top 10 team. We'd have to really collapse to not make the NCAA's at that point. We'd probably only have to win 3 of 8 to get in.
Beat VT, lose to UVA...you can still make the tournament but no margin for error now. Would probably have to beat both UL/Duke at home.
Lose both...NIT at best.
I'm not happy with how we have been playing lately, but splitting the last two road games wasn't horrible. The home games are so important though, I would love to see a solid, comfortable win over a good VT team on Sunday, and then hopefully a crazy environment against UVA (blackout).
