Well, time to get ready for next Saturday.

It's not a must win. Even if they lose out, they have a pretty good shot of getting in. One more win puts us in 90%+ territory, and we will have two more chances. It's not a must win.

It's a huge game, it has major implications... But it's not a must win.

Not sure how you can say that when, as of today, we are in the last 4 in category. We lose GT and go to 17-14, we are not a tourney team. Tourney teams can win on the road.

I think the 5 days off has to help a lot. This team could use a small break.

Weird end to the season with a week off between games. Bizarre. Do we sit there and practice and wonder and lose any rhythm we had? Or is it a benefit?

First of all, I don't concede that we're currently in the last four in. We were a 10-seed in some brackets, which leaves 8-10 teams below us that are still in the tournament. Lunardi had a minimum of eight at-large teams behind us. Marquette lost to Providence, Michigan State beat Wisconsin and the rest pretty much went as-expected. So maybe one team jumped us, but that still leaves at least seven teams behind us. I think if we lose out we're either last four in or first four out, which is why I think it's about 50-50.

Next, I don't see much difference between beating Ga Tech and losing the first ACCT game and going L-W-L. So, if you think the GT win gets us in... So does L-W-L in my opinion. Thus, it's not a must win.

I'm not sure what you think winning at home against Georgia Tech has to do with our road record.

I don't think GT helps our road situation. I like geography. Not sure how you can take lunardi seriously after he called UCLA a 4 seed. Seriously? Palm is less biased at CBS and has us as last 4 in. In Dayton. So , starting there, why wouldn't a home loss against a mediocre GT team toss us out?

I don't think Lunardi is biased toward or against us.

Why wouldn't a loss toss us out? Well, who is jumping us? Those teams have games left too. In his first four out, TCU plays Kansas State, one of them has to lose a key game... I think us losing that game would leave us squarely on the bubble and it could go either way and would be around 50-50.

There is a combination of people being pessimistic, people remembering some bubbles not going our way, and people comparing this team's resume to prior year's resumes instead of just across this bubble.
