Next 7 games

[Eric15]

Based on the fact that we lost to Colgate and Bryant, let's be real, we could drop any of these. But if this team is serious about turning this season around, there is zero room for error here. This HAS to be 7-0. We should be favored in every game.

Wow, the Georgetown game is on ABC. If I squint really hard it'll feel like the old days.

Nice win today, and I think this team will continue to improve. I’m trying to be positive. I will say that stupid Bryant game shouldn’t have been a loss. We were missing 3 keys players and still would’ve won if Girard (or JB) had just called timeout on that trap and then not thrown the ball away on a terrible pass. Colgate and Illinois we deserved to lose. But I thought battled well against St. John’s, who I believe is a good team and will be very competitive in the Big East. We gotta win these next 7 games and get back on track. None of them are gimmes.

I will wager you that we will lose one.

Something like 5-2 is probably the most realistic scenario.

 

[Cusefan0307]

We lose too many games at home. That needs to change.

Notre Dame is usually mediocre and we were their 2nd home loss in the last 22 games.

 

[Orangezoo]

All but Monmouth and possibly Oakland are tossups until we prove otherwise.

Just curious, if we "turn the season around" what's the end game? NIT?

I would consider our ceiling being squarely on the NCAA bubble. But I really think we have to take the next 7 games (which will be difficult, but not impossible) for that to be a reality.

Invitation to the ACC tournament...

Oh man, I don't know.

We can win the next 7 and I'm not sure we're there yet.

The best damn pizza party you’ve ever been to.

The best damn pizza party you’ve ever been to.

I'm legit curious what the new guys all order for their post game pizza.

I remember Swider ordered something off the menu it looked like.

Like a psycho.

Those freaks always want to have the normal pizza too, like no shut up and eat the Olive onion and anchovies pizza you ordered.

End game is always the ncaa tournament, considering the talent level a winning season would be good (weak ACC helps with that), NIT would be better, NCAA tournament would be massive considering you’d need to kill off two, likely 3 considering the level of play, bad losses

I'm not saying the tournament shouldn't be the goal. For our program, I think the goal should be a protected seed through the first weekend.

I'm just saying, for this team that we've seen so far, a winning season of any kind sounds like a victory.

I’ll take 5-2 and a solidified rotation and no injuries.

I agree

 

[hoopsupstate]

I’m only worried about Oakland. One game at a time and try to improve each game.

Say we take the next 7 and get to 11-4, the following 8 games between Virginia (1) and Virginia (2) we'd need to go 5-3.

That'd put us at 16-7.

Then on the last 8 games, we'd need to go 6-2, putting us at 22-9.

Let's say we don't quite hit those marks and are four games worse than above.

We'd be 18-13, and probably need to win the ACCT or at least hit the Championship game.

If we are 20-11, we'd need to win 2 in the ACCT.

22-9, just win one.

Realistically we are looking at a NIT year.

(Un)fortunately the ACC isn’t loaded this season. There’s a lot of winnable games for the team that beat ND on their court. There’s also a lot of losable games for the team that got blown out by Colgate at home.

 

[NineOneSeven]

4-3

 

[upperdeck]

if we can get the 3ball shooting to just an avg 30% we can have chances .
