Is .500 in serious jeopardy?

[AZOrange]

I can’t even believe we are having the discussion but as I look at the remaining schedule I only see 5 realistic “should be” wins. Pittx2, wake x2 and BC.

This is shaping up terribly

 

[bigmike]

Yes, it is.

 

[donniesyracuse]

Nobody viewing the situation objectively could argue differently.

Assuming Ga Tech doesn't get rescheduled, we have 16 remaining games.

Need 8 wins, plus 1 in the ACCT just to be .500

9 wins would be better.

I played 'jeopardy' in scrabble the other night, using all of my tiles. Far more satisfying than any SU hoops game so far this year. And yes, I won the game.

Wake will easily beat us Saturday. We’ll be lucky to split with Pitt. When you can’t stop people it’s hard to win.

Did you give yourself the 50 point bonus?

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Did you give yourself the 50 point bonus?

Heck yeah, it's why I won. Also why I played the word despite not getting a double word score or other enticements.

Yeah I’m struggling to see the path.

Losing after getting that bonus would be like watching last nights second half.

Wake is a decent team this season. I'm looking at BCx2, Pittx2, and NC State.

But NC State is probably a push.

 

[Briancuse]

At this point I would be surprised if we had a winning record.

 

[RF2044]

Yes, and has been from the beginning.

Despite the pushback that some of us were given for ringing the alarms early on in the season. It was pretty obvious from the jump that this was the least athletic team we'd fielded perhaps ever, that defense and rebounding were going to be challenges, that depth was poor, and that bench scoring was going to be non-existent.

And all of those issues have unfortunately manifested. Predictably.

 

[Alsacs]

Yes, and has been from the beginning.

Raises hand.

 

[DilemaCuse]

Yes, .500 is in jeapordy

Giving up 100 to Colgate was the first major alarm bell that this was in jeapordy, last night was another.

I think they scratch to a game or 2 above .500 but the program decline continues

 

[Fly Rodder]

There will be a couple more "how'd they do that" wins like Indiana, but those might be tempered by a WTH loss to Pitt or BC.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Sure, this deep in the season with a .500 record, the final record being a winning one is absolutely in jeopardy.

 

[Orangezoo]

Yes, and has been from the beginning.

Despite the pushback that some of us were given for ringing the alarms early on in the season.

VCU was the eyebrow raise, Colgate was the flashing yellow, Georgetown was the slowly blinking red and then everything when straight red after that.

I hate it's happening with both his boys on the team but this probably needed to happen at some point as we have played with fire /flirted with disaster the past 7 sevens. Right now what happens next matters a lot more than what is happening now.

Didn't Wake just beat up on FSU? They're pretty solid.

 

[MSOrange]

I haven't truly been nervous this late in the year ever before. To be direct, it is in jeopardy and I'd be surprised if we made it.

 

[Briancuse]

Other than Duke or Unc who would even be a wth win?

 

[AZOrange]

Oh well…

Totally agree

What’s been amazing is that they can’t fix it. And the reason he can’t is because it involves his kids.

Agreed. First time I've ever felt it as a real possibility. I still don't necessarily expect it to happen, but it's absolutely more legitimate this year than in 46 years.
