A win is a win.  I'll take it.

Also, Notre Dame beat UNC.  Good for our RPI.

Actually the ND win was not so good for us:

Quote from: laxreferenceNotre Dame getting into the field is probably bad for Cornell. But if they do look like they are going to get in, then you guys should be rooting for them to win the ACC tournament.

Overall Cornell makes it in 39.2% of the time when ND is in the field. If ND wins the ACC tournament, Cornell's chances only rise to 43.6%. When ND misses the field though, Cornell's chances are at 50.2%.

A lot hinges on the ND/UNC game coming up. If ND wins that, the projections have them in 81.9% of the time. If they lose that game, then the projections have them in only 20.6% of the time. So you'll have a better sense of whether to don your blue-and-gold after their next game.

But now that ND has beaten UNC, we should be rooting for them to win the ACC tournament.

I will never get this shit.  Never.

That's because it's not logical. It's based on rankings that fundamentally do not make sense.
