The Irish are probably sitting on the right side of the NCAA tournament bubble and likely to get a 2 seed in some cozy opening pod in Texas, SEC country, or out west. But, the ACC tourney is big this year and a couple of wins in pool play would be nice, and at least one may be required. With FSU gagging down the stretch (five straight losses), Irish gain the #3 overall ACC seed heading to tobacco road (sound familiar)? The Irish pool group includes NC State, Miami, and Virginia/GT play in winner. The Irish play those 3 teams during the 4 days from Wednesday to Saturday. If they win the group they play the winner of the other group (Louisville, VaTech/NC playin winner, Clemson, and the fading Seminioles) for their first ever ACC championship on Sunday. Hopefully this is not premature, but congrats to Mick Aoki and his team for getting us back to the big show!
 
Irish lose to NC State 3-0, but come back to beat a ranked Virginia team today. They are now probably safely in the NCAA tournament. Craig Biggio's boy can play. They have some good young pitching. To advance in ACCs need Miami to beat NC State tonight, and Irish need to beat Canes tomorrow.
