Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 2506526, member: 1969"] I never claimed that a signature win would not help us. I claimed that there was minimal if any real difference between two of your scenarios, and yet you felt one was solid and the other is terrible. You said: [B]Scenario #1 - [U]2 Wins in Regular Season+ Win 1 ACC Tourney win makes us solid[/U] [/B] My analysis- That makes us 10-10 in ACC Games, with likely no top 50 RPI win in the ACC tournament. [U]Under that scenario there is certainly no win against Duke or UNC, no signature win of that sort.[/U] [U][B]Scenario #2 - 1 Win in Regular Season + 2 ACC tourney games, and we are cooked [/B][/U] My analysis - The 2nd ACC tourney game would almost certainly be a Quad 1 win. We end up playing one more ACC game in this scenario and lose to a top 15 national team on a neutral court. [U]So we end up 10-11, with the same number of quality victories[/U] [I] So I respectfully ask, what is the big difference between #1 and #2 that our chances of getting in one scenario is quite good and the other is abysmal?[/I] You are right, not getting that signature win may shaft us. I never argued against that. But it would shaft us just as equally in scenario #1 as scenario #2. And yes my opinion on this topic is more valid than yours. Just like some of your info on other topics is more valid because it has an inside element. There are many people on this board who have more valid opinions than me in many areas. I have no problem admitting that. Some people know more things about certain topics because they have a passion for it. I have spent many years following the stuff, (for some demented reason), I use tools and analysis to make my comments. I track where we stand, and where others stand. I typically don't throw comments out there without some thought. Should I have said your comments were BS and ridiculous. No, and I apologize for that. Could I have responded in a more respecful manner. Yes. But I also will not apologize for calling out flaws in logic. [/QUOTE]
