Beat UNC at UNC, nothing else matters

[RaoulDuke]

I won't get in a panic if we lose Saturday, Monday night is the real challenge. Win and we are in.

 

[pearl31]

ah, that's it?

 

[SUintheVille]

Cuse MUST win Sat at home vs. a mediocre NC State team. Need to contain Cat Barber.

 

[dasher]

saturday is the game. Monday night we have very little chance. Win on both saturdays.

 

[Chris02M]

im pretty sure that unc game is there senior night so lets just win on ours on saturday and make it easier

 

[orangenirvana]

Need to contain Cat Barber.

 

[pearl31]

Nice

 

[kirbivore]

FSU is in free fall right now, need to sweep them

We don't need to contain Cat Barber. We just need to win. If he scores 40 and we win 60-50, who gives a snip?

they are, but watch them go and win at Duke on Thursday or something crazy like that

 

[FrancoPizza]

We can beat UNC on their home court if we shoot 90% from 3. So there's a chance.

 

[Orangeblue2]

simply not happening

 

[Cuse'91]

Not too much off the top...

Here is an artist's depiction of what this board will look like if we lose to NC State.

I am going on record as panicking if we lose to NC State.

 

[MGP]

Yeah, this talk about 9 wins and/or beating UNC is enough is false logic. If we beat UNC and lost to NC St. & Fla St., I wouldn't be feeling too well...

As will I because it would be completely justified and logical. They better be ready to roll. As others have mentioned NC St has played well as of late (except for UVA). We can't let Anya and Malik-Abu have career days which this team lets happen to opposing frontlines on occasion. Barber will get his. I think you play way off of him and make him shoot. I don't want him getting in the lane and creating havoc.

Losing to NC State and beating UNC would be something this team would do but I'll trade a UNC win for 2 mediocre wins right now.

Interesting...Let's assume we drop the first tourney game. Does 9-9 with a UNC win get us in? Honestly, I'd feel safer with quantity of quality and 10-8.

Again, that would mean losses to NC St., Fla St. & our 1st round opponent - not to mention losing 5 of our last 6. I know the bubble is soft this year, but yikes...

[SoBeCuse]

I don't know. Just win. I don't want to be in the position for the season coming down to absolutely needing that 1st game of the ACC Tourney. Don't want to go there.

 

[pearl31]

one thing with NC - they're at uva two days before us and then are @ duke after us...
