I can’t figure out why you guys do this to yourselves.

The only known quantity we had coming into this season was Battle, who we knew was a good player.

Based on last year’s performance it was hard to be too realistically optimistic about Howard.

Pascal K is essentially a first year player and MAkek, Brissett, Sidebe and Washington were first year players.

Is there any wonder this team was so lowly ranked? It was almost a complete mystery.

Other than Battle, we didn’t know how good these players were or, maybe most importantly, how they would play as a unit (chemistry). And we had no idea on how much "grit" this team had.

So guessing about how this team would do against Maryland, Georgetown or whoever is really an exercise in almost impossible projection.

But after nine games, we have a better idea. but we haven't a clue on how they will do once the real (ACC) schedule starts.

We are still a flawed team with weak outside shooting and two post players that have difficulty handling the ball and finishing. These two things are going to hurt us the rest of the way. We just don't know in what games and how much they'll hurt.
