Tough Week?

[BillSU]

Played and won the game with BC today. We are 14 - 12

Georgia Tech comes in for a Monday game @ 7. They are 10 – 15. I say we win.

We travel to ND for a 9 P.M. Wednesday game in South Bend. They are 19 -9 losing away to Wake Forest this afternoon.

When does the team leave for South Bend, Tuesday afternoon?

After we play ND we have Duke coming in Sat. for a 6 P.M. game. They are currently 22-5, I am counting the game they are playing with FL ST as a win – they are ahead by almost 30 as I post this at 8:18.

On the following Monday Feb.28 we have a game @ N.C. They are 19 – 8 after winning @ VT this afternoon.

Then we play Miami in the Dome Monday March 5. They are 19 – 8 after losing to VA today at home.

One game at a time but these are important at this stage.

If the team is on shooting wise we have a chance in the away and home games. I’m picking on Tech because they are not a very good team. Roll the table? My guess, 3-2, all at home.

What do you think?

Throw out Duke. It’s not close to Dukes best team, but we match up horribly with them.

Beat GT, steal ND, burn the Duke tape, prob lose to UNC (even tho I don’t think that’s a given), beat U of M.

3-2. If we’re not on Dukes side of the bracket and they get upset, we have a shot.

Good post. Hope you're right.

Small correction - we're 14-12.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

4-1 and we could still conceivable get an at large if we lost in the ACC title game.

The first 2 are clearly the easiest.

I know we should have beaten Miami at their place but good chance they play much better the second game the two teams match up. @ UNC doesn't usually go our way and I doubt we catch Duke sleeping.

We really need to win the next 2.

Sorry, not to be a negative Nelly but this team has no chance to make the ncaa tournament. None. I hate that reality as much as anyone. But it is the reality we are dealing with. A winning record is a good year for this team.

Are they playing in the ACC Tournament?

If the answer is Yes, then they have a chance.

Small? Sure.

Non-zero? Yes.

I truly wish I was as optimistic as you. But Im still going with zero chance

My guess is also 3-2. I think they knock off ND in South Bend, but it’s gonna be close. ND has a good ACC record but their overall efficiency numbers are close to ours (they have a similar profile to Wake). I think we can pull that off along with wins against GT and Miami at home. I think we go into the Duke game at home on Saturday with a little momentum and the hope that if we knock off Duke we can get ourselves on the bubble. That game is winnable at home with a big crowd behind us, similar to the 2017 Gillon game, but I fear they knock us off in the end. UNC is a tough one coming off of four games in a 8 days.

Non-zero? Yes.

Odds of winning ACC Tournament would have to be around 75-1.Gambling sites probably aren’t going to give you that much, but that would be my guess as to the real odds.

We're playing a lot better and the ACC is really, really bad so anything is possible. The 6 game stretch ending with GT is probably the worst overall quality of teams SU has ever played consecutively in any conference play that I can remember. Think we beat a horrible GT team easily, then maybe split the last 4. Miami is going in reverse, UNC is wildly inconsistent - could take both of those games. ND is basically a better version of our team and the game is on their court. I'm hardpressed to think we can compete with Duke given the gap in athleticism, but the game is in the Dome and stranger things have happened.

I have to give Boeheim credit in that he has completely reversed the narrative from when he was known as "Mr. November" to where he is now in terms of getting his teams to play better deeper into the league season rather than often plateauing mid-conference.

Georgia Tech will be the last game of regular season that SU is favored in. Gotta steal a game of two as a dog to stay out of the Tuesday ACCT schedule.
