Dont give up on 3-1, we are looking tired and or a little under the weather right now. But if we can get our second wind.....we did recently win 5 in a row so 3-1 is far from impossibleThis is our most realistic chance. Not a chance we go 3-1 the rest of the way. It'll be 2-2 and 1 win in the ACC tourney. If that's not enough, then it's not enough.

According to joe lunardi with the way the current bubble is
Oh crap I thought 2-2 might do it but now Lunardi said that's what we need without regards to ACC tourney... we better plan to go 3-1 or bust. That guy is the anti-gospel.
This is why I thought it was ridiculous that there were people here downplaying the importance of the Pitt loss. An absolute killer for us. Pitt is a garbage team that a team playing for its tourney life has no business losing to.
Don't he and the other clowns usually err toward it being worse for us than it really is, though?
I think it's generally the opposite from having a top communications schools and such a huge presence in the press. There may be some haters reactionary to that a bit in the press but I think an unbiased view would see us at least getting an even deal. Then again I also tend to ignore / gloss over "refs are against us" posts. Yes the refs are bad often and its a very difficult sport to ref but they are bad for both sides and there isn't much evidence for ref or press anti-cuse conspiracy theories these days. Maybe Gottlieb

Drama Queen after Pitt loss - "Our season is over, Our season is over. We have no chance now!!"
Reasonable Person - "Our season is not over, we still have a chance"
Drama Queen - "It's ridiculous that you downplayed the loss"
Reasonable Person - "When did I downplay the loss. It was a very bad loss. But our season is not over"
in that case, there have been a bunch of "very bad" losses throughout the season, including @ pitt
yeah and Virginia and Maryland better fold up their programs then!We do have a bunch of very bad losses: Georgetown, St. John's, BC, UCONN, Pitt. The Pitt loss is especially damning because we had appeared to get the ship turned around, only to lose to a team that was 2-8 in ACC play - our most winnable remaining game. That's what makes that such a bad loss.

Winning at Clemson was more significant than losing at Pitt.I don't care about Virginia and Maryland. They are both safely in the tournament, even if they lose the rest of their games this season. If you don't think that losing (our 10th loss of the season, btw) to a bad Pitt team (3-10 in the ACC) when we are fighting for our tourney lives was not a horrible loss, then I don't know what to tell you.

Lots of teams lose conference road games to teams they're better than, it's just part of the deal.
The games that put us in this touch-and-go situation were neutral ucon, home SJU, and @ BC - those are the games to b!tch about.
We're in no different place tourney-hopes wise than we were before the @ pitt game.
