did lunardi really say 4-2 gives us a shot??

I know this is a very technical thread on whether we will make it in the NCAAs, and I want to go as much as the next person, but would it be so bad to be in the NIT? And perhaps win the whole thing?
My quick answer is yes! The fan experience is soooo much different between playing in the nit and the ncaa's. With the ncaa, there is the whole selection sunday show, filling out brackets, taking thurs and fri off from work, etc. With the nit, it's just watching the games. I don't care about brackets, and I only watch a handful of games.

That all said, if you were to tell me that Jesse and Mintz are coming back next year, I could look at it a bit differently in that it would at least give the team a chance to play a tournament and gain experience to get ready for a legitimate run next year.
 
Teams around us are going to lose. I think its a manageable 5 game stretch. Beating Clemson might get us the double bye.

Not sure which of these teams we lose to get past Duke and we are in a good spot. One concern is if Duke and UNC are on the bubble is there any chance the committee choses us over them? Or UK?
 
FYI.. we are back down to 97 in the NET and now, thanks to Bryant, we have a Q4 loss. Not having a Q4 loss was a small victory in our resume before.

If we want to hack the NET a bit we need to play at Binghamton for example and go pound them by 40.

Other notes- Duke is now at 34, down a spot. Clemson however jumped 14 spots from 78 to 64 just simply blowing out FSU on the road. Good for us though as that's now a Q1 game as it stands.

Bryant will end up moving back up, they should finish 2-1 in reg season and will win a few in the AE tourney.
 
The reality is that nobody really knows because there’s a lot of variables over the next couple of weeks.

But we do know this.

We need to win a lot more than we lose. Enjoy the next game, and the one after that. Then see what happens. Could be good.
Exactly this... But if we beat Duke and the ACC officials tonight, I'll start to dream.

I fully expect two charges called on Edwards if he even touches the ball once when it's close at the end.

Yup, somehow they'll call two fouls on one possession.

Ugh. So frustrating. We never should have lost that Bryant game. Plus it had extenuating circumstances. Judah’s ejection. And multiple guys sick (Benny) and injured (Hima).

That’s huge. Means two Q1 opportunities next week. Gotta beat Duke first though.
