how desperate Pitt is gonna be to get the win for an NCAA tourney birth. Or, have they just given up already? How much will this be a factor? They'll more that likely have to win the automatic bid. 3/9/2015 7:46:48 AM |

I think Gott will be telling our guys they need another win to make the tournament. Also, 20 wins probably gets Gott some bonus money if I had to guess, so I imagine he's going to try and get the guys fired up. 3/9/2015 8:16:49 AM |

Pitt won't get it with just a win against us. They'd likely have to beat Duke and Notre Dame and make it to the championship, if not win it all. I don't think they have it in them to do that. But they will definitely be a dangerous team on Wednesday. 3/9/2015 9:14:01 AM |

Gott is 2-1 each year in ACC Tourney.
If we beat Duke I don't see us losing to ND.
I think we either go 1-1 or 3-1 3/9/2015 9:18:32 AM |

Pitt's got good wins against Notre Dame, Carolina and Syracuse, but they've ended the season on a losing streak. I think we come into this one with our heads in a better place. 3/9/2015 9:21:29 AM |

3 straight wins??!?!?!?!? we've only had three wins in a row once since starting conference play. Lou-VT-UNC.
Hope the team is focused and ready to play. When you see the pack play great one game and the next game play flat it's tough.
One thing is Gott has had his player ready for the first game of the ACCT every year.

I think we have a legitimate shot of winning this year. Our guys always rise to big games and all of these will be huge. With a few upsets on the other side of the bracket, things could get really interesting. 3/9/2015 11:01:31 AM |

I will be there cheering on the pack! We need to at least win this game so the tournament isn't a waste. Duke will be tough in the next round with the way they are playing right now. 3/9/2015 12:52:31 PM |

Shouldn't the Winslow kid be getting banned or something? He kicked out more than once in the UNC game 3/9/2015 12:57:00 PM |
Beethoven All American 4080 Posts user info edit post |
Anyone know when the team practice (the one that's open to the public) will be held? I'd like to go see it, and typically it's free.
^I agree. What he did was no different, if not worse, than what Chris Paul did, and it cost him a tourney game.

No tickets yet but I plan on being there. Might end up buying from scalpers on the way in. I wonder if my son will need a ticket. He turns 3 Friday. 3/9/2015 1:05:19 PM |

I believe GSO Coliseum is fine if they are under 3 and they sit in your lap. If he will want to sit in his own seat, then he will need a ticket. 3/9/2015 1:12:44 PM |

I completely see us squeaking past Duke at the last second and then getting pounded by ND.
But we have to beat Pitt first and that's not an easy win.3/9/2015 2:09:18 PM |

This kid concerns me. I've seen several incidents this year with him involved in plays that could injure players. Here's the one from the NC State VS Duke game that I originally thought was an accident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urB8uadIs1I&t=2m7s
However, with his recent stunts in using MMA leg locks and ball kicks I'm going to classy him as a dirty player. He's a really talented player so I have no idea why he resorts to these tactics.3/9/2015 2:50:22 PM |

Someone should compile all the intentional fouls by Winslow and send it to WRAL. See if we can get this guy suspended before our game. 3/9/2015 3:16:52 PM |

^^So was the first Wake game, but that didn't keep the second one from being a shit show.
There are no easy wins in the ACC.

^^I think, perhaps a better way of phrasing, is that there is no guaranteed win in the ACC. Any team can beat any other team. Even UVA only beat WFU by 1 point.

I think we will beat Pitt but I will not be heartbroken if we don't because it won't be a very big deal and because we've already had more heartbreaking losses this season (ND, UNC, UVA, etc.) 3/9/2015 11:21:11 PM |

BlackDog All American 15654 Posts user info edit post |
The only way we lose to Pitt is if we have a complete breakdown vs. how we played against Syracuse to close out the season.
The big difference over the last ~10 games has been Barber by far and if we are going to make a run in either tournament, we will need him at his peak.
I think we are going to see the best our team has played all year in the following days/weeks.
