Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 3734746, member: 289"] Let's look at the big picture for a moment. We are 12-6 and 6-5 in a power conference, admittedly in a down year for that conference but still a power conference. We now have four scheduled regular season games. They may be a fifth but let's stick with what we know. the issue is whether we could secure a berth in the NCAAs with these four games. That means we are assuming we will lose our first ACC tournament game, thus forcing us to rely on what happens in these next four games to get in. - We could go 4-0, then lose in the ACCT first round. We'd be 16-7and 10-6 in a power conference. It's hard to imagine that we would be left out with such a record. But then it was hard to imagine 2007, when we were 22-10 and 11-7 in the Big East and didn't get in due to some kind of deal that put Arkansas in and put us in their slot in the NIT, (which the NCAA owns). - We could go 3-1, then lose the ACCT opener. We'd be 15-8 and 9-7. That sounds more like a bubble team to me but on top of the bubble. We we beat and who we lost to would start to be a factor. - We could go 2-2 and lose the ACCT opener. We'd be 14-9 and 8-8. That would be in the bubble and the lack of marquee wins would probably put us in the NIT. - We could go 1-3 and lose the ACCT opener. We'd be 13-10 and 7-9 and certainly an NIT team. - We could go 0-4 and lost the ACCT opener. it would be the first time JB's ever lost 5 in a row and first time for the program since 1969. We'd be 12-11, 6-10. Would we still be in the NIT? They love to hold games in the Dome but would anyone get to go? If we did see post season action, we could still lose the streak by going one and done and thus 12-12. Playing Clemson again could make things better or it could make things worse. Just win, baby. It's the answer to all of our problems, now and forever. [/QUOTE]
