Welcome to the Bubble

[OrlandoCuse]

Chance to move to semi lock status and we piss it away. Squarely on the bubble from now until the ACCtourney

 

[iommi]

Win two of our next three or we will be NIT-bound. All of this team's flaws have been exposed.

 

[Briancuse]

We deserve to be on the bubble, pathetic display of bball today.

 

[NineOneSeven]

They've been exposed all year. We just were able to make enough shots or plays to win some games.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Yup. Not good.

- 23-42 on glass
- Roberson 3 rebounds, 0 points
- Guards awful
- Lydon prevented a rout
- Pitt turned it over 14 times and had many empty trips
- Same old problems dealing with the overhedging. It grinds us to a halt.

 

[Briancuse]

If we don't beat Fsu we aren't getting in.

Did Roberson's dog die last week or something? He's been the invisible man.

Haha great minds...

If we win 2 of the next 3 I think we are in regardless of the ACCT -- that's 10 wins in conference and 20 overall. If we split NCState/FSU and lose to UNC --- we'd need 1 win in DC to get in.

What if the win is against Bc?

Then we're fine. We need to get to 20 wins overall.

St. Bonaventure, UConn, Texas A&M, @Duke, ND, FSU. The JB Factor. We have enough good check marks on our side.

Wrong.
Today sucked and we're definitely back in bubble territory but your statement is incorrect.

I think we may squeak in, but we have serious problems. Any team with 2 bigs and we're into double-digit rebounding deficits. What was it today, -18? -20? (I turned it off with about 4 minutes left). We've been exposed inside one too many times. Every team going forward with the personnel is going to cheat out on our guards and make our bigs beat them. I'm not optimistic... but then again we all knew this going in.

You're a good poster, so maybe I'm just reacting (throwing up) to the last three halves during which we've been totally man-handled inside. I need to be talked down.

Explain, please. 9-9 and we are in?

With an ACCT win, yes.

True but today was about the offense being just horrendous. I didn't expect them to truly compete on the boards today.

Maybe (and yes, we had one guy in double-figures, barely). But that's the point .. good teams know this and are going to overplay us outside. If they have 2 bigs, we're going to struggle getting to the rim and on the glass. Our rebounding deficit is ugly.
