We don’t have an NCAA tournament level team this year, I think many of us have been holding out hope but I don’t have any optimism left for the season. My only hope is that Battle and Brissett somehow decide after the season to stay on for 2018/2019.

nahNeed 3 in a row. 2 in a row gets us into a discussion, 3 gives us a solid chance but still a sweat, 4 is a lock. If we lose one of the next 2, we are cooked, unless we run off 3 in a row in the ACC Tourney.
Well I mean we last won three in a row 1/27. But two of those games were vs Pitt. The last time before THAT was 12/19 right before Bonaventure. Sooooooo yeah.
Pretty good summary right here.As of this morning, JL has us as the first team out. I would say we are still definitely in the mix. I’m sure other teams ahead of us are also on thin ice. Win the next two and are chances are pretty good. Louisville winning last night at VT jumped them past us. There could be a lot of movement in the next week. If we don’t win some games it’s all a moot point.

School's in session, folksIt's amazing that 8 people agree with this BS.
What really is the difference between
a) 10-10, with no quality wins in the ACC tourney (apparently this gives us a solid chance with a bit of a sweat
b) 10-11 with one quality win in the ACC tourney instead of the regular season, and the extra loss being to Duke, Virginia or UNC in the ACC tournament.
Scenario a) - Solid chance, but a sweat
Scenario b) We are cooked, "no path to the tournament"
Do you not realize how ridiculous these comments are. You are making that wide of a variance, because we lost one extra game to a top 4 seed in round 3. Once we get in, the committee is not going to drop us out because we just lost to Duke or Virgnia. S
Is it possible to win 2 or maybe just 1 and still be the 10 seed in ACCT?
Granted beating BC & Pitt won’t do much, but it gets the Orange to 20 and then winning the 7-10 game moves the needle to 21...and it looks better.

Well, it pretty much has been - especially since it went from 64 to 68I don't mean this to be snarky but I feel like I have read like 10 straight years on here that the bubble was weak.
Keep trying.jncuse I know you do a lot of research and work on this stuff but if we go into the ACC tourney at 8-10 we will be in a very precarious position. It's not a matter of having to win 3 ACCT games to get to 11 wins. It's a matter of using the ACCT for a signature win. If we get that opportunity in the first 2 games of the ACCT, then maybe we'd have a shot to lose the third game. Right now, our resume doesn't have bad losses but we don't have enough Quad 1 wins. If we beat UNC or Duke, we'd be in a much better spot. I'm not sure how you can't see that.
To say that my comments are "ridiculous" and "BS" is off base. I don't agree with everything you say and your word is not gospel. My opinion is just as valid as anyone else's.
lol not to trumpet our resume, because it isn't much, but if you don't think the @ lvlle and @ miami wins (each will register as Q1) aren't good in the eyes of the committee, you don't know what you're talking aboutThis is like last season.
The Orange have their destiny in their hands. (Cliche alert).
Win 3 more games and there's a good chance they're in.
The difference is...last season they had some quality wins and some bad losses.
This year two quality wins that only count for us: G-town and U-Conn.
None so far that count a lot for the selection committee.
(At Louisville? Marginal).
The margin for error is small.
17 turnovers...among other ills... can't happen again.
