Am i crazy? Can we get there?

100 percent. Yes, I’m saying there’s still a chance. Would I bet on it? Helltotheno. But at least it’s worth watching to see how it plays out.

 

[GoSU96]

Wat? So we can have another year (or two) of losing? C'mon.

Wouldn’t it mean this wasn’t a year of losing?

UNC lost their biggie. They are already overrated plus this injury. I think we can circle the win. Pitt and Wake are weak so we should win. Louisville is now healthy. It could cause problem. I hope we surprise the young Duke team. And 4-1 in the next five games. If we draw 6/7/10/11 seed and avoid Duke, I think we can go deep in ACC tournament. If 9-9, we likely to get 10 or 11th seed, hope add 4 wins to the resume then face Duke in the final. With 22 wins, we could be in the right side of the bubble.

Isn't not making the NCAAT effectively the same as a losing year?

You're saying there is a chance! Hell yes!
All but Duke are beatable.

Duke opens -20.5

Sounds about right, 20.5 line on 143 O/U YIKES!

 

[Eric15]

It’s obviously a long shot, but NC State finished the regular season 17-14 two years ago and made the Final Four out of nowhere. We just have to keep playing and fighting. I refuse to be one of these “hee hee I don’t even know when we are playing next” posters. We play Duke tomorrow night at 7 pm.

Nope. Even if they beat UNC to the committee it won't count w/o Wilson. I see ESPN bubble watch has returned from behind a paywall. He still has SU in the "long shot" category not worthy of a write up

It amazes me that people who would go out of the way to post on the message board don’t know the easiest google search information.

 

[jdubs30]

Don’t forget Caleb Wilson will most likely be out …

Duke opens -20.5

Not that big a deal. Just make 1 more basket every 5 minutes and we’re right in it…….

Teams with injuries tend to not be hurt by losses, but the wins are usually still weighed the same.

1-3

And their coach was fired the following year……

What I'm scared about is we win a few more games, make the NIT tournament, maybe win a couple games there and then we hear Red is being retained since the season is considered an improvement.

We should have won the Houston game. The host just don't want Houston lose as Houston is preseason No. 1. So the referees did not call the foul when regular session ends. It would be a different season. We would have lost to Kansas. But our third opponent would not be Iowa State. We could have come back form Las Vegas with 2-1 record and play differently.

So are you one of those who is rooting for us to lose?

We can’t blame Vegas for losing to Hofstra and BC. The only way the season would have played out better is with a better coach

 

[MGraves5]

No I never root for us to lose and I'm fine with Red coming back, if he leads us to the NCAA Tournament.

 

[dasher]

I wouldn't worry about that. The problem for Red are the donors. They want him out. It would take a lot for him to be able to come back.

If you simply turn those two in Ws, and somehow pull out Houston… crazy the difference that would have made on where we stand right now.

 

[OrangeTarheel]

Syracuse has to do A LOT and I mean A LOT for Red to survive this. And if he does it, kudos to him. Is he capable of producing a consistent team next season to actually show reminiscence of what the Syracuse program should be if this run ends up being NC State 2024 style. So yeah I’m rooting for Syracuse and the chaos that could come with it. I don’t think it will happen, but if it does, that’s what College Basketball is all about. From what I’ve read they have the money to pay off the contract and likely the coach they want to target already. I see as fans we are in a win-win situation now. Enjoy the ride.

This is an ungodly level of positivity for this board. Cheers to you

In the NIL era once you lose the donors you are basically finished

Well, we followed the first part of your plan to a tee.

I think if we win 3 games in the ACCT we maybe have a chance to get in the NCAAT and save Autry…….. (ducks)
