Not to be a Debbie Downer but I think the board has gotten a tad overnethusiastic.

We shot 45% from 3 vs Duke.  They shot 21% and took 43 3s and we still needed OT to beat them

We shot 20% from 3 vs GaTech and they shot 45% and they beat us at home by double digits.

We are a jump shooting team at this point.  We are getting better looks but are still a jump shooting team.

We are going to have bad shooting days and, as a result, will likely lose some games we probably shouldn't.

To be a really good team, and compete with the really good teams, you have to have balance.

At this point, I don't believe that we can generate enough points in the paint to beat the top teams unless they have a really bad shooting night and we shoot the ball well.

I also think our D is very good and getting better but we will see how much better it is when we play the better offensive teams in the ACC.  Duke put up a bundle on us.

Can you win 4-6 games in the tourney with good D and shooting the ball really well?  Absolutely.  But the odds of a jump shooting team shooting the ball well for 4-6 straight games is, IMHO, pretty low.

My kingdom for Brissett consistently finishing in the paint...
