Weird team, good record but haven't beat anyone that exciting
- 4 Teams they beat have winning records
- St. Marys is a quality win

My thoughts on ACC play (without RJ)
Anything that happened in the past, happened in the past. Each game in the ACC is worth at least 1 point and the magic number 10 should be the goal (10-8), some games like beating Duke maybe worth 1.5 (.5 for a **** win) but every game is an opportunity to hit the magic number. Winning games without one of our best players and our real low post presence will be difficult. A game like this Saturday is one of them we have to walk out with a W. It will be hard to bang with the better teams in the conference without RJ but there are a bunch of winnable games (like GT).
If we play like the first half of La Salle or Indiana State, we will win about 3 games without RJ. If we play like we did in the second half of La Salle or Hawaii we will hit 5 games without RJ.
If RJ Returns in 6 weeks (from December 30th) that is roughly February 11th. On February 13th we play FSU at home and in total that will mean we get 8 games with RJ (assuming it is 6 weeks).
Without him we play (La Salle, @GT, @UNC, Maryland, @BC, Duke, FSU, @VT, @NCST, BC and UNC). If we can somehow win tonight and win 5 against the ACC teams we are in great shape. 4 would be decent shape and 3 would be rough shape. One game at a time and hope for a speedy recovery.
Something We Remember (even though the NCAA may not): Each loss we had this year came while one of our best players (Scott or RJ) was out
