...but I think we have an outside chance to win 6 of our last 7 games here.

Feb 11 @ Miami
Feb 15 vs UNC
Feb 18 @Pitt
Feb 26 vs NC State
Mar 1 @ VTech
Mar 4 @ SMU
Mar 8 vs UVA

The only likely loss is SMU. The other games we can win. 11-9 in ACC play is not out of the question.

Fire away!!!

I admire the optimism.
 
Let's see..

Feb 11 @ Miami -- should be a win Miami is terrible but again hard to trust a road win here.
Feb 15 vs UNC -- UNC is struggling but let's be honest talent-wise this isnt close -- loss
Feb 18 @Pitt -- can't see this happening -- loss
Feb 26 vs NC State -- should be a win
Mar 1 @ VTech -- Va Tech stinks this year but hard to trust a road win right now. 50/50 shot
Mar 4 @ SMU -- cant see this happening -- loss
Mar 8 vs UVA -- 50/50 shot. UVA stinks this year but... so do we.

All that being said I'll take O2.5 -110 please!

No one should hate on hope and optimism. Hope you’re right and I’m wrong.
 
If we win out the regular season. Our quadrant win-loss record will look pretty solid for a bubble team. Problem is our net ranking will still sink because of the blow out losses (sound familiar to last season). Our only quad 3 or 4 loss atm is Georgetown without JJ. GTown can easily be a Q2 loss by March. We would also get a few more Q1/2 wins I think. We have 1 right now.

Outside of SMU, I wouldn't be shocked if we won all the games or lost all the games the ACC is awful.

Hmmmm!!!

I had a similar conversation at dinner tonight.
If we even go 4-3 that would put us on a very similar trajectory as NCst last year.
All we would have to do is win ACC tourny to make it to the Dance.
I mean think...we have a bunch of seniors and if they can be determined, get it together and just win baby!

It is potentially possible and im just doing what true fanatics do...Its possible til its not. So LGO!

Actually winning the ACC tournament wouldn't be much more of an upset then the 1975 team getting to the final four. Only 1 good team to beat there. The 1975 team had to beat at least 2 or 3.

Stated something similar in another thread. Legitimate shot at 6 wins out of 7.
Could also lose all 7. I'm betting 5 wins, and only losing to SMU and Pitt (ugh!). We never play well @Pitt.

Come on, man. Why don't you think we can win out? If we can put together 6 wins in a row, why can't we beat SMU too?
I want it to happen, I really do, but there's something pulling me in a different direction.
