Subject: Historical speculation about the final regular season game

IF my memory holds (yes, a real "if"),during the difficult post-NC
year of 2004, we finished the "regular season" at 4-6 (oh heavens,
that Syracuse game at Klockner!), won our first game in the ACC
tourney (vs. UNC, I believe) and still had the theoretical possibility
to make the NCAAs at 7-6, if we won the ACC crown and beat Penn State
the following weekend. We lost to UMD in the ACC finals (close, I
think) and then also lost to PSU, to finish at 5-8.

I'm not concluding that a 7-6 record would have definitely gotten UVa
into the NCAA tourney (Doyle Smith could have supplied a '"definitive"
bit of speculation here ), but I've thought, since then, that those
three victories in a row (UNC, UMD & PSU) might have gotten in and
then, . . . who knows?

I offer this only as an intriguing hypothetical from an older fan.
