Fair points on an absolute basis. I think BC/Uconn will be wins from what i've seen. Again, it's Syracuse nothing is guaranteed after the ALCS. But I think we'll get to 7 wins. It comes down Cal, Miami, Tech. I think 1-3 occurs in this troika. This isn't the gauntlet to end all gauntlets.I think our path to 8 is narrow, honestly. It'll be tough to fly to Cal and win out there. Not that we aren't a better team, all things considered, just that I think the physical toll of having 2 cross-country trips within a month is a lot to overcome.
Miami is... Miami. Anything can happen, but we'll be big home dogs for good reason.
That leaves VaTech, BC and UConn. All 3 winnable games and 2 at home.
IMHO a close loss on Saturday is still a loss and makes getting to 8 wins immensely difficult. And I've made my point already about why I think 8 wins is critical for the program going forward.
We need to really show up on Sat no matter what.
