Here's what a provisional bracket would look like if it was determined today:

First Round of Provisional ACC Tournament After Feb. 15

• (12) Florida State vs. (13) Stanford
• (10) Syracuse vs. (15) Notre Dame
• (11) California vs. (14) Wake Forest

Second Round of Provisional ACC Tournament After Feb. 15

• (8) SMU vs. (9) Virginia Tech
• (12/13) Florida State OR Stanford vs. (5) NC State
• (10/15) Syracuse OR Notre Dame vs. (7) Louisville
• (11/14) California OR Wake Forest vs. (6) North Carolina

Quarterfinals of Provisional ACC Tournament After Feb. 15

• (1) Duke vs. (8/9) SMU OR Virginia Tech
• (4) Miami vs. (5/12/13) NC State OR Florida State OR Stanford
• (2) Virginia vs. (7/10/15) Louisville OR Syracuse OR Notre Dame
• (3) Clemson vs. (6/11/14) North Carolina OR California OR Wake Forest

Thoughts:

Virginia Tech's at-large hopes now are hanging by a thread; at minimum, the Hokies will need to claim both their home games against Wake Forest and Boston College, while also claiming two of its three road games (Miami, North Carolina, Virginia). For Virginia Tech to go dancing, those two home games will be critical, especially since Wake Forest defeated the Hokies the last time that the two schools played on Jan. 3. Moreover, Virginia Tech is 1-6 against Boston College in head coach Mike Young's tenure.

The Hokies kick off the first of their final five games of the season with Miami on Tuesday, Feb. 17 in Coral Gables, Florida. The contest will tip off at 8 p.m. ET, and it will be available for viewing on the ACC Network.
