Message: [QUOTE="Sherman20, post: 5659209, member: 6357"] Alternate universe thought bubble: Donnie doesn’t get injured and close losses turn into wins against Houston and Hofstra. Because he and the team get used to playing together earlier and don’t lose chemistry, we also turn close losses against BC, Virginia Tech and maybe Clemson into wins. We could be 17-6 or 18-5 and we’d have 2-3 Q1 wins. However, this is a gauntlet coming up, so we’d still be sweating a bit, with bracketolgists predicting we’d be in the tourney currently but still have work to do. The easier games left would be against Cal, Wake and Pitt, but none of them would be guarantees. We’d also be hoping to nab one more Q1 win against SMU, Virginia, UNC or the Ville. Duke would likely be a loss. I know Red isn’t a good coach. But do you think we make the tourney if Donnie hadn’t gotten injured (and we were a halfway decent free throw shooting team)? [/QUOTE]
