There are only TWO locks for the Dance -- Duke and UNC. Now, I can't imagine the committee not giving us at least three teams.... but beyond that (IMHO) it's a question mark, unless someone makes a good run in the ACC Tourney -- but...fellow Dukies that is another target on our back.
If all the smaller and mid-major conferences play out without upsets (...chances are, that ain't gonna happen), then we could get 4-6 bids. But don't hold your breath. When other majors 'beat up on each other' during conference play, it's because "everyone in the conference is so strong." When ACC teams beat up on each other with competitive furor it's because "the league is so weak." Not my words, but the words of stupid pundits coast-to-coast.
I think there's a slight possibility that we could get four. Please committee prove me wrong.
