So, we have to go 4-0 to be most likely in or go 3-1 and have to do some
Damage in the tourney to get even a sniff? Odds ain’t great.

4-0 equals what 5 Q1 Wins? probably still bubble.

We live in a bubble- a lot of other teams would need to win a lot of Q1
games over the next 2 weeks to keep us out if we went 4-0. Take a look at USC, UCLA, Santa Clara, San Diego State, Ohio State, New Mexico, Indiana- all have 2 or less Q1 wins.

Yeah we’d be like the first ever team with 5 Q1 and 20+ total wins
To be left out To add to our first ever top 4 ACC regular season finishing team being left out 🙄

Your last part isn’t accurate. UVA finished 3rd and was left out.
Tied in the standings with UNC who went on to the Final Four.

Overall? 4-2; 3-1 in regular season plus 1-1 in ACCT

With the injuries we have had, disclosed and undisclosed, great year so far
This is one of the most challenging years injury wise I have seen in decades. The only thing I wish we had done earlier was sit Neo, he is not the same guy that dominated Providence, I would have rather had him healthy down the stretch. That said, with Tyler Johnson out, I understand the decision to play him.

So why not just stop hoping for the big tourney?
It can happen, heck we could win the tourney but the odds are greatly against us. I am going to look at the team and the games differently and enjoy, or at least I hope I can enjoy individual games. I do believe we will see a really above our baseline game and if that comes I am going to enjoy it and not get frustrated because this team has not shown they can rise up for over 1 game. IIWII. Maybe this team can win the NIT but that would be a big improvement over the last several years. How many out there really thought that we were going to be able to outscore Miami over the last 2 minutes?

Forget making up ground in the ACCT.
The only way we can make up ground in the ACCT is to win it all.

Well,I think 3-1 is possible if they play like yesterday (except the final
2 minutes). If the FSU team shows up we go 0-4, but I expect us to beat Wake,BC and UNC (but knowing our luck Caleb Wilson shows up against us and drops 40)
