Nope. Crazier things have happened, but nope.You think we're beating Duke and/or Louisville?

Going into these 4 - we had to go 2-2. If we defend home court and beat Duke and GaTech - we're in.To be safe, going into the last 5 I thought we had to sweep GT and steal 1 out of 3 from Louisville and Duke. I sure hope you're right, though.
Duke is a team we can beat or that can beat us by 25. If we shoot the way we have the past 2 games, I'm afraid it will be the latter.The thing about Duke is --- we will be able to score on them. And we will be able to hold our own on the boards vs. them. The question is - how will both teams shoot from 3? That will decide the game.
I agree with you.Duke is a team we can beat or that can beat us by 25. If we shoot the way we have the past 2 games, I'm afraid it will be the latter.
The cinderella run to the Final 4 last year is the only thing that has prevented these 4 years from being maybe the worst 4 year run we've ever seen from the program in the Boeheim era.

OK, who do you put in instead of us?I can't see us getting in without beating BOTH Duke and Louisville or somehow getting to 20 total wins (which would mean a big ACC tournament run). Right now, I'd give us 10% chance of making the tournament. To be honest, I can admit it this year, we don't really deserve to be in the tournament.

Yeah, we have chances for impressive wins.Exactly. It's a very weak bubble... A lot of people tend to compare this year's 'Cuse team to lasts or to other 'Cuse bubble teams, and judge accordingly... Or use a standard formula of X overall wins, Y conference wins, etc... It's not that simple.
If we beat Duke we will likely get in on strength of 3 top 10 wins. I doubt we beat Duke though -- our D won't contain them. Only game I see us winning is the finale at home against GT. Not enough. We are going to have a tough bracket in ACCT and can't expect a whole lot...maybe 1 win. Very disappointing season.OK, who do you put in instead of us?

Yeah and UConn pulling 2 runs out of their a** saved them from irrelevance.The cinderella run to the Final 4 last year is the only thing that has prevented these 4 years from being maybe the worst 4 year run we've ever seen from the program in the Boeheim era.
Bad post. All around.Honestly, I can't say for sure but our resume is not strong. We went 2-8 in away games. Take away the 5 game win streak and we have nothing and we barely held onto those games against Wake, NC ST and Clemson. I think Virginia Tech has a better shot than us, their remaining schedule isn't too tough.

Agree. And one other thing that we should have going for us is our run last year. Gotta assume if it's between us and say Virginia Tech that will help for sure.We've got two things going for us. 1- the bubble is very weak and some traditionally strong leagues are down this year; 2- we play in a very tough league relative to the others. That said, we need to win at least two more games and probably three to be safe.
Telling me we don't deserve to be in with 10 ACC wins?
