We need to see how the next two games play out. We likely will be improved but not by a whole lot.

2019 we gave up 269 points in conference. Thus far we have only given up 173. So as long as we don't give up 48 ppg these next 2, our D is better. 2019 we were 11th in conference in ppg. This year likely ends up in the 7th-9th range. Our D seems better which is expected given the change in DC.

2019 we scored 202 points in conference which was 11th. This year we have 146 which will likely end up in the 9th-11th range. We need to average 28 ppg to tie 2019. Our O hasn't been able to score as much, although 2019 was skewed by that one blowout W. We changed OCs and haven't scored more.

2019 our ppg difference was negative 8.375 ppg or minus 67 points overall. Right now we are minus 27 or 4.5 ppg. If we lose by 20 ppg these next 2 games, we will be the same as 2019. We need to have at least one close game these next 2 to prevent that from happening.

Both 2019 and 2021 (thus far) have seen only 2 ACC Ws. If we end up 2-6 again and lose by 10 ppg these next 2 games (which is relatively close), we will be minus 5.875 ppg for the year. For me a 2.5 ppg isn't a marked improvement. That is assuming we don't get blown out.
