  • 0 seeds of top 3 or better in the ACC
  • 1 NCAA Tournament win
  • an ACC record of 44-68 (39%)
  • a regular season record of 14-59 (19%) vs NCAA Tournament teams
  • a regular season record of 11-61 (15%) vs teams ranked in the RPI's Top 50
  • a regular season record of 41-76 (35%) vs teams ranked in the RPI's Top 100
