We aren’t a top 25 team but this team is an NCAAT bubble team.

This is a game that gets us in if we're on the bubble.
This is a good point. Good wins > bad losses in the committee’s eyes. This more than makes up for Colgate on our resume.
 
Question is now

C Jesse Edwards > Marek Dolejai ==>Better scorer/rebounder at Center position (still love Marek)
Cole Swider > Quincy Guirier ==> Better shooter/rebounder. Not certain about quickness on def
Jimmy B = Allan Griffin ==> Allan such a better athlete compensates for plus-up on rest
G Buddy > Last year Buddy ==> Watch the iso against Indiana. Fantastic
G Gerard > Last year Girard ==> Free trows alone is big

Bench < Last year Bench ==> So far, its hard to determine as last year developed late.

Think that overall, we will win 20 before the ACC tourney. I believe we are a 6 seed. We just beat FSU who have have 26 straight at home in ACC play. We have now a new zone

Uh... I like the breakdown, but while Swider is a better shooter than Quincy, Quincy is a far superior rebounder.
 
We've seen this all before. Boeheim will get us 18 wins, minimum, we'll be .500 in conference, minimum, and we'll be on the bubble at the worst

I don't think you fully appreciate the hole that the ACC has put us is in this year. 20 wins before the ACC tourney is not getting you a 6 seed this year. In prior years it certainly put you in contention for such a seed, not this one. The conference metrics are very bad. Pac-12 type bad.

Is 20 wins before the ACC tourney possible? Certainly. That would be 8-4 OOC and 12-8 in the ACC.
That is probably on the bubble line this year, and my early guess is on the right side.
