Ugh six healthy guys and back-to-back games...

 

[upperdeck]

win 3 of the 4 home games and beat BC and we might get up to 7th or so. teams are beating each other up.. Duke beating UNC last night would have been nice.

 

[Jake]

A couple of things:

The league is full of teams that struggle to score. Especially the bottom half. I would feel pretty good against any of them in a neutral court game against all of them...except ND if they get Colson back.

Our defense will keep us in games down the stretch.

Need the next two and @BC. Wouldn't be surprised to see us pick off UNC or Clemson at home.

Really would love the Clemson game and an ACC tourney win or two.

Gotta get to 21 total wins I think. Somehow, I bet we get there.

Calling this shot now: Cuse vs Wash in Dayton.

 

[SUOrangeSU]

Don't want that #10 vs #15 seed game. Beating Pitt again does nothing for us and losing to them pretty much auto eliminates us from the tourny

 

[upperdeck]

I dont think there is anyway we we end at 10.. we could go down to 12-13 in which case the NCAA bid is not happening. or we could go up to 6-7. We wont finish at 10.

We need to get off the schneid in the ACCT. Whether that means beating Pitt or another bottom feeder, it does matter. If that happens we will get plenty of opportunity to improve our resume.

If we get to 21 wins total we won’t be in Dayton.

I think we beat Clemson. I hate to say it but NC State is the one that scares me. And that's one we can't afford to lose (sounding as pathetic and desperate as I can).

 

[upperdeck]

Lets just beat Wake and see what happens after that. Lets see if they can shoot 40% or better two games in a row..

 

[DonLightfoot]

How about 5 games in 5 days? Certainly far fetched, but it's nice to be optimistic at times.

 

[rrlbees]

I’d take that. Pitt, VT, Clemson. Although finishing 10th means we’re probably out of the NCAAs. So no.

I guess this real question is would winning those three games get us back in?

100% agree. Plus playing Tuesday at Noon in front of 5k people might be the most depressing thing ever.

 

[NKR1978]

We haven’t been in the night games section of the bracket in NYC since 2009.

If we win enough games to not have to to win multiple acct games I will take
One win and rest up for the tourney.

vs Louisville in the 2013 BET Final.

vs Louisville in the 2013 BET Final.

All the finals and semifinals are primetime. Other than those we've only played during the day in the early rounds.

Would you call them... Must win games ?

 

[jncuse]

 

[tbonezone]

rule of thumb is average player runs (sprints) 5 miles a game ?

 

[cuseattle]

Colors are good Marsh, I mean Alsacs.

Yup, I've been forecasting this as well...
