If you could bank 15-3 ACC right now

[moqui]

would you take it?

I would. Even if a 9-3 close might seem like a disappointment after a 19-0 start, I think 15-3 might be hard to come by but would certainly give us Buffalo/MSG even if it was a 2 seed

 

[dasher]

I have already thought about that same question. No. Because I think we will beat these other mopes. that leaves the three ats. Hard to win anyone of those but I will take my chances.

I predicted four conference losses so what do I know. What I do know is that it is never easy to win on the road. That's a given. However sign me up for an undefeated home sked.

yes, 15-3 should win acc outright. 14-4 might be a tie

While I would "take it", here's how I look at it. If we go 10-0 (which is a good possibility) then the 3 losses most are assuming (if they assume three losses) really means 5-3 down the stretch.

Is this possible? Sure. But I'm not sure this year's team is that kind of team.

I'm thinking more and more we might end up 16-2 or 17-1.

LGO!!!

Cheers,
Neil

While it might, I could see Pitt, especially if they beat us as one of our three losses, going 16-2. Their schedule is very favorably for that type of run.

I'd take 15-3 as long as that means we win the ACC. I've always stated that we will get a #1 seed if we win the ACC with no more than 4 losses.

Did you change your name again?

 

[omniorange]

Did you change your name again?

Nope. I've only had two handles - omnicarrier and then omniorange.

I changed my handle a few years back when the pay side told me we would be getting a new retractable roof stadium that won't be associated with Carrier.

Cheers,
Neil

 

[Cusefannotindc]

Yes.

Using Pomeroy's win %'s we have about a 30% chance of finishing 15-3, 29% chance of finishing better, but a 41% of finishing worse.

just curious, what does it say about pity?

 

[jordoo]

No, I want to see our guys play it out and I think we can make its 2 loss or even 1 loss regular season. At Duke, Pitt and VA are tough tough games plus we have a bunch on the road at the end but I feel like this team can handle it.

 

[cto]

I'm sticking with my pre-season prediction of 16-2 (in the Iggy Award contest).

 

[cpatrocks]

why accept 3 losses - when we still have a chance to run the table.

Really hope duke beats Pitt tomorrow so they get a second loss.

 

[Cusefannotindc]

Weirdly, when I ran the sim with Pitt's schedule, it came out with the exact same odds.

 

[Orangezoo]

I will take it as long as it does not include a What loss and we learn something about the team they can improve on in the process. Based on how pitt and duke look winning at their place will be a tall task given the homecourt advantage and typical home cooking officiating.

I am not so sure. A duke loss would serve us better I think.

i dont know whether or not to hit like on your post, but thank you for that info

 

[OrangeYaGladi]

i'd take 15-3 if there were no injuries or suspensions

 

[The General]

Are we scared that we are gonna go 14-4? 13-5? No thanks.

Maybe we drop a random game. I don't see why we can't take one at the Pete or at Cameron. 15-3 might be our floor.

I think that's probably where we'll end up, but just a couple years ago, we had a 1 loss season in one of the toughest versions of the Big East in modern times. I think the risk of this team falling into a slump and losing 6 games down the stretch is far less likely than this team going thru the ACC with only 2 losses, and maybe only 1, if we can win at the Pete.

My biggest concern is lack of bench scoring. We started slowly with Coleman, but we could bring Grant off the bench for a shot of energy. We really could use Roberson working himself into the lineup, if he could give us the occasional 6 or 8 points and a few rebounds off the bench .

 

[texascpa]

Dammit, we are going undefeated. how many times do I need to say it?

 

[DonLightfoot]

I would take 15-3.

this Shizzle. Enter the acc inaugural year 18-0...
