Louisville Postgame Thoughts

We clinch double bye if we beat clemson?
If Wake loses
4th in the ACC and the double bye is in our control with 1 game left.

And we are sweating out the bubble????
We’re not even on the bubble because the NET is messed up. FWIW, we’re top 30 in the old RPI formula with a top 10 strength of schedule. We’re getting crushed by the computer.

They’re crushed by getting crushed

5-10 years ago we’d just about be a lock right now with our conference record, rpi, and sos. The blow out losses are the reason we’re not in right now. Thats absolutely absurd.
 
In all honesty, do we want the double bye? Clearly we need a win at Clemson. I believe Wake still gets the 4 seed if they win 1 out of 2 due to the tiebreaker. I really want UVA, they can’t score.
 
We are peaking at the right time but it feels like we can't totally figure out. Everytime that you think we finally put it all together we lose a coin flip game or blow another big lead and let them make it competitive.

We are sooooo close and can have a really fun month if we get over the hump.

Well we should have played to extend the lead tonight when we were up 20. Slowing crap down is what allowed that pathetic team back in the game. Do they realize given their position, margin matters ?
 
Doesn’t Wake have the tie breaker over us and two games left? So both teams could get to 12 wins and Wake would take 4th. No?
Yup, they have two home games left “Georgia Tech - Clemson” they win both and would have tiebreaker on us

Not being that guy, just curious, what do they need to figure out? They are winning games on the road. They are in 4th in acc. Winning is hard. Do they blow some leads sure, but that’s a trend in basketball as a whole.
 
I will take into account the thin bench tonight - no Carey, presumably Hima simply unable to contribute/play?, Q fouls out in limited minutes, not sure why Cuffe didn't get more run?

Dudes were tired. Some big plays made throughout - Bell with some good defense, JT with some FT's and big rebounds in the final minute.

However, the amount of simply dumb plays is what stresses me out.
A win is a win, but so many of these could have been blowouts for us with just smarter decision making down the stretch. Magnified a bit by this whole silly NET thing. And please - keep the ball out of JJs hands to end critical possessions.

All that being said, congrats to Red for holding it together and getting this team to this point. To have a chance to end up in 4th place? Crazy.

My comments are all over the place... just like watching these games I guess. LOL
