I figure wins at GTech and Pitt and home for Wake are pretty sure wins and maybe also BC and NCSt at home. I figure 16 wins is a good bet...18 possible with one win in the ACC to get to 19. I figure that (19) is best case.
But...we have been losing all these close games late...until they change that...I'm going to be a Debbie Downer.It’s ugly basketball don’t get me wrong, but I think this is a slightly pessimistic view. Outside of at Duke we will be favorites or no more than 6 point dogs the rest of the way. We haven’t been blown out and it’s ugly, but I suspect we will be in a lot of games down the stretch.

Guess I must have been hallucinating when they won those close games earlier in the season.But...we have been losing all these close games late...until they change that...I'm going to be a Debbie Downer.

It was 1 on 5 and Pitt kept it close for awhile. 59 points, lol.
59 points is a complete joke against this absolutely putrid Pitt team. Pitt is not even a zone team, let alone a good one. Yet our guys looked as if they had never seen such a thing. Playing catch from the top the key to the wing, from the wing back to the top of key, again, and again and again. The only thing missing was turning themselves around and doing the hokey pokey...so incredibly frustrating.
this is not one you should figure. @ GT will be very difficult.wins at GTech
You think at Ga Tech is a pretty sure win? I like your confidence.I figure wins at GTech and Pitt and home for Wake are pretty sure wins and maybe also BC and NCSt at home. I figure 16 wins is a good bet...18 possible with one win in the ACC to get to 19. I figure that (19) is best case.
There's major doubt because this team will be dancing in March. Book it.Don't think there is any doubt we're an NIT team.

They are playing better and more healthy now...Lammers is the key.You think at Ga Tech is a pretty sure win? I like your confidence.
It's mid-January.We've lost to 3 teams without one or two of their best players and a garbage Pitt team played competitive with us 75% of the time at home.
This win doesn't have us trending up.
Doesn't change that we haven't played well. I certainly am glad we won last night, but the performance last night did nothing to make me feel better on the outlook for the rest of the season. Unfortunately, maybe the opposite.It's mid-January.
But what fun would it be if we actually let the season play out?It's mid-January.
It's mid-January.
And things change. With baseball, the expectation is that a team will be .500 in 1-run games. It's just how it averages out over the years. Some teams are slightly better than .500 and some are slightly worse, but generally they're right around .500. When they're not there can be extenuating circumstances (such as an outstanding bullpen, extraordinary managing, etc.), but most of the time its just statistical noise and teams will end up right around .500 again.Guess I must have been hallucinating when they won those close games earlier in the season.
Isn't this a fan board? We speculate and commiserate.But what fun would it be if we actually let the season play out?
