Temple, Richmond, Colorado State and Old Dominion are this year's top seeds / officially the first four out of the NCAA Tournament. Only two ACC teams -- Pittsburgh and Miami -- made this year's field, giving the conference eight of 15 teams in the NCAA Tournament or National Invitational Tournament.

The lowest seeded at-large of the bunch, 6-seed Alabama, went 18-14 overall. Gives you a sense of just how far off BC was to qualifying for this year's NIT.
