Bracketology is obviously a crapshoot at this stage of the season and really won't take firm shape for almost 2 months. But, I can say it is promising that the ACC has performed decently in the non-Con, particularly compared to previous years. So we might not need to go 13-5 in conference (a tall order) to make the tourney, and I think 11-7 might be good enough, even with the fairly light conference slate we have (in a relative sense).

Obviously getting way ahead of myself but this team has a chance to be special this year. They could really go into Unc 21-2 and probably be top 10 at the time. And the schedule lines up nicely. Unc, Virginia, and Louisville once.

I expect to drop a few of those ACC games. Teams been very streaky against the high majors so far.

I mean BYU and Florida are good. Definitely second weekend teams and it’s not like Miami got blown out by them. I didn’t expect them to win against them but don’t get embarrassed. We will see, at least they avoid Duke and Louisville and only play UNC once.

We do not avoid Louisville. They play the final game of the season. I think 21 and 2 is insane to expect or even believe can happen. This team hasn't been very impressive. They can't shoot the 3 or FT and you kind of need to be able to do those things. Good teams will continue to beat us.

We play Louisville once at home. Last game of the regular season

The narrative that we can’t shoot the 3 is starting to fade.

I’m not saying this team is full of sharp shooters, but the outside shooting has been improving.
We’re up to 37.7% on the season which is pretty good

65% at the line though which is atrocious

It's gotten up to 37? Okay not as bad as I thought. The ft at 65 is terrible. Yesterday 53%. Won't go far missing this many FT.

Will keep an update on the AP/NET as well. I know it’s a crap shoot this time of year still but as the data comes in it’ll be interesting to see who is going to rise/fall
