If Wood is set, its money.

12/4/2011 5:08:41 PM

i wasnt too worried about the shooting numbers because we got an insane number of lay ups and they bricked a lot of awful shots

itd be different if they had wide open 3s rimming out

We could be really great at transition with wood hitting 3s, Calvin dunking and Brown dishing.

12/4/2011 5:09:51 PM

Will someone kill these announcers?

12/4/2011 5:10:05 PM

good start to the 2nd half, but wood will get his 4th foul in the next 2 minutes and things will start to change.

hope i'm wrong, but that's how it usually goes.

12/4/2011 5:10:28 PM

Did I say we were out of the tournament? No. Am I being realistic about our chances? Yes.

We're obviously less than 50/50 to make the tournament... probably more like 35% at the moment. Let's look at the facts:

1) Texas and Vanderbilt are both bubble teams so splitting with them isn't a magic gateway to the tournament.

2) The ACC is not on the level of the Big 10, Big East, or Big 12 this year. We may not even be better than the SEC for god's sake. We can't rely on a strong strength of schedule in conference play because WE DON'T HAVE ONE.

3) We're almost 100% likely to finish between 4th and 8th in the conference this year. If we finish 6th-8th we're almost definitely out of the tournament. At 4th we'd most likely be in. 5th, we're probably squarely on the bubble. 8-8 won't cut it, 9-7 is the bubble. 10-6 (quite unlikely) wouldn't guarantee us a spot, but we'd most likely get in.

4) Stanford and Syracuse are both significantly better than us. These are probably two losses. Now if we can win one of these games our tourney chances skyrocket. But if we lose both, we're not in good shape at the moment.

5) St. Bonaventure is significantly worse than we thought a few weeks ago. Now beating St. Bonaventure doesn't help much, but a loss could be lethal. This is definitely a bad game on our schedule.

6) The rest of our non conference games are all against shit teams. They will drag down our RPI, offer no help if we beat them, but could singlehandedly derail our season if we lose.

7) We are TERRIBLE defensively this season. We're one of the worst teams in the nation defending the 3 pointer. With a statistic like that you'd think we'd be successful at packing it in and not giving up 2's, right? Not true, our defense against 2's is weak also. You'd think given that we're a great offensive rebounding team, we'd be good at defensive rebounding you know since we're not playing any defense. Well, that's also not true. Our defensive rebounding is weak too so far. I bet since we're so weak in all those areas we must be generating a lot of turnovers this year, right? Wrong. We're not generating any turnovers either.

Our offense has improved by a huge leap, but our defense has regressed enough that it mitigates much of the progress we've made offensively.


This isn't me being negative. This is being factual. It's early and a lot can happen, but if you don't think our tourney chances took a big blow by going 1-2 vs. IU, Texas, and Vandy while the ACC collectively crapped itself in non-conference play then you are crazy.

We look good this season and I'll enjoy the season either way. That doesn't mean we can't be realistic about our tournament chances based on the information we currently have.
