not trying to disrespect you individually, but...FWIW, I heard on Brent Axe today that we were in Lunardi's Bracketology. I think he said we were one of the last four in which means play-in. Not really seeing it but it is a ray of hope.
I remember watching Saturday ECAC games with Marv Albert and Bucky Waters and the intro to the games would have Marv and Bucky sitting in the stands with fans and on cue Marv would say "Manley Zoo" and then the fans would go so wild that Marv and Bucky would almost get knocked over in the seats.For some of us older fans, it's absolutely depressing that it's Pitt's home court that's known as "the Zoo" now.
I say 40% of winning all 5. just a feeling and then UVA back at home. 3-2 is a must but I'm not all that surprised with 4-1 or 5-0. THe latter 2 give us the drivers seat of the Tourney. And we should have a solid punchers shot to beat UVA at home based on the game this week on the road.

Probabilities are based on Sagarin. Based on those we have a 9.5% chance of going on a 5 game winning streak.
The math is not always the way to evaluate these things (momentum, matchups are also important things that are not in those calculations), but the 10% seems pretty reasonable to me. A longshot, but not totally out of the question either.
That's about as easy of a 5 game stretch you'll see in the ACC.
I think we win 4 but have a shot at winning all 5
I'd say it's a tough road game followed by an easy 4-game stretch for a team that has no easy games.
I agree - we need to be 5-4 after Tech and dog fight for 4 more wins.The goal should be 4 out of 5. If we can do that we'll be 5-4 with a huge opportunity for a big win vs. Virginia on our home floor.

exactly thiswe lose to FSU and Ga Tech is a toss up
I think we win 3 of 5.
We lost to Wake and a horrid ND team- based on who was actually on the court.
I don’t see us beating FSU away. And given our lack of scoring, I fear we will lose an ugly game on the road to either Pitt or GT. Which would really be too bad because both those teams suck.
A normal SU team would win all 4 of those without much doubt, and would have a solid chance to knock off FSU. This isn’t a normal SU team. I see very little chance at 5-0. Hope I’m wrong.
I think 3 also but I'm more wondering about BC than Pitt or GA Tech. Does BC have much this year? I haven't seen them.
Like last year I guess.Really not sure. Saw they played Virginia tough and beat Duke. Just lost to UNC by 30. Not really sure what to make of them. I’d like to think we could beat them at home at least.
They have two of the better guards in the league in Bowman/Robinson and actually play a 3rd guard now all the team as well, Chatman, who can shoot the he11 out of the ball - but they play horrible defense and like a different team on the roadReally not sure. Saw they played Virginia tough and beat Duke. Just lost to UNC by 30. Not really sure what to make of them. I’d like to think we could beat them at home at least.
