Message: [QUOTE="Nicknack, post: 1606934, member: 1003"] The CB Devil stopped by last night and offered me a few deals. Hopefully I did the right thing, guys/gals. [B]1. Over the next four games, either take a chance by letting it play out or take a guaranteed 2 wins.[/B] I took the guaranteed 2 wins. While I think 3 wins is possible, I don't want to risk starting ACC play 1-4. That would really hurt. Being 2-2 is not ideal, but something we can work from and would also give us another high quality win on our resume (Pitt, Miami or UNC). [B][B]2. Games 5-8 (BC, WF, Duke and Virginia), either take a chance by letting it play out or take a guaranteed 2 wins.[/B][/B] I played it conservative and took the 2 wins again to guarantee a 4-4 start. Reason being is that I didn't want to take a chance by having to play out of a hole and I really like the following four games at home against ND, GT, VT and FSU and then one on the road against BC. We could be sitting at an 8-5 start after these games - I'd take that any day of the week looking at where the state of our team is right now. [B] 3. Either take a chance by letting the regular conference season (ACC tournament not included) play out or take a guaranteed 10 wins right now.[/B] I jumped at 10 wins and signed on the dotted line before the Devil changed his mind. That would give us a record of 20-11 going into the ACC tournament. That would also make us an NCAA tournament team most likely. [B]4. Either take an NIT post-season along with Richardson, Lydon and Coleman returning or let it all play out.[/B] While making sure we are stocked and ready for next year, I can't deal with another year of filling out an NCAA bracket without us in it. I know, many here say we are probably an NIT team anyway and I don't necessarily disagree with that but... I just have to throw the dice on this one because we have a team this year that could pull a big upset or two in the tournament. Yeah, we could also lose in the first round as well, but you never know which is why I told the Devil to let it play out. [B]5. We only have to endure one Hulkster post a day for the next 10 years but we have to watch another UConn championship either this year or next OR let things be as they are.[/B] This was so tempting but in the end, I couldn't do it - no more UConn pulling a championship out of their a$$. I chose to keep things as they are. [I] Edit: The Devil just came back for one more offer due to the inspiration provided by two3zone apparently.[/I] [/QUOTE]
