Indiana victory now a Quad 1...things are trending up!

Hopefully the positive vibes will reach the mighty Red Raiders of Colgate, who have traveled to Annapolis to face the mighty Midshipmen of Navy in a crucial Patriot League clash tonight.

Colgate is a 2-point underdog in the conference game that can provide the most juice for their NET rating.

Let's Go Red Raiders! Make the Cuse loss to Colgate at least 1% less worse!
 
That's nice but we have a huge hole to dig out of to make the tournament. One game at a time and SU is in a rock fight this year. I actually think it is harder than any other year for us as there are so few ranked teams in the ACC that any win except a win over Duke will be a so-so win. Just have to keep winning and try to get a top 23-5 spot in the ACC. It's doable but will be a tough get.
Keep the faith.

is it bad to lose by 15 to a 5-10 Patriot League team and to be the "1" in their 1-9 road record?

Need about six of those quad 1 wins if we wanna bounce onto the bubble.

We only play 4 more quad 1 games out of 15 (possibly 5 if things go well). The ACC is so bad! Projected NET's per Barttorvik are below.
Duke (2), at UNC, at Virginia Tech.
At Notre Dame will cut it very close (projected #75)

And we may lose 1 Q1 win as FSU is cutting it close (projected #72). We were never going to get 6 quad 1 wins out of the ACC. But we needed a gaudy ACC record to make up for the lack of Q1 win opportunities in conference.

So going 14-6 in conference is probably still the path to get there (possibly 13-7 as well). Not that I believe we have any chance to finish 12-3 in the ACC - that is just the target for those who still believe in Santa Claus.

Yeah I was baking in what would be required ACCT wins as I was looking at the same thing you are. It's pathetic how bad the conference is right now.

On the downside if we beat FSU Saturday they probably drop to a Quad 2. Just win every game baby!

We have played ELEVEN Q1 games.

ND & Llvll are next with 9.
Everybody else between 6-8.

That’s a LOT of challenging games

questionable coaching & sub decisions

No wonder our record to date is underwhelming.
 
I’m still more in let’s finish above .500 mode than I am in tourney resume mode.

We still control our destiny but diminishing room for error against our mediocre remaining schedule.

Sorry for confusing things. Those were projected Barttorvik year end standings.

We are projected to play 11 Q1 games. We have played 6 of those games so far.
 
WCC vs ACC per the current Bracket Matrix.
- Both conferences have 4 teams in the tournament (as of now) and basically on equal seed lines.
- The WCC is accomplishing as much with 10 teams as the ACC is accomplishing with 15 teams.

WCC Team / ACC Team
1. #1 seed Gonzaga / #2 Duke
2. #8 seed BYU / #9 UNC
3. #9 seed San Francisco / #10 Miami
4. #11 seed St. Mary's / #11 Wake Forest
 
We have the unenviable situation of a bunch of games that won’t help us if we win, but crush us if we lose. That used to be the case for some of our weaker home preconference games… now it’s the case for our freaking conference schedule ..

To m,e flush the NET and all these rankings. ACC will get 4-5 teams and my guess is one of those teams sneaks in backdoor through the ACCT. We need to win that thing IMO.

To think we can finish 13-7/14-6 in the ACC is a very tall task. I think if we continue to improve and get over 500 entering the ACCT and get hot shooting, we have a shot. That's our path to the dance

We are now 2-3 in Quad 1 games. Things aren't all bad.

Gotta beat Duke at least once and win some more away games—Va Tech, ND, UNC, NC State. Hope springs eternal but I’m less confident than I have been in our other recent seasons of mediocrity.
