Those overrated players stayed with FSU right to the end. And that's with Anthony not being much of a factor.
UNC has always had a gaggle of big guys who could dominate most teams inside. They do not have them this year and Roy has not made the adjustment to playing a smaller lineup. And, he doesn't have the shooters you need to beat teams who pack the lane. I think they will be handful for any ACC team when Anthony is back to his high level.

He has had something like his top 3 guards injured for a bunch of the season. No tears for him but it does limit his ability to go small. Baycott hasn't been everything they hoped for sure but his issue has been a lot more at the guard slot.

NET ranking looks even worse. 4th in the ACC is Virginia at #58. Then ND (#61), Syr (#64), NC State (#69), VT (#72) and Pitt (#75). Beating those teams on the road would qualify as a Quad 1 win, however beating them pushes them closer or into a Q2.
Coming in at #79? Georgia Tech. Win @ Pitt on Saturday and we'll leapfrog them and be right in the discussion for top half of the league. We will be an underdog though on the road.

Yep, its a log jam of like 8 teams +/- 2 games around 0.500. If we can pull off an 11-9 finish, I wouldn't be surprised with tiebreakers if that's like 6th place. And of course, we haven't finished > 0.500 in like 20 years or whatever, so that would be a nice way to end and hopefully build some momentum and hope for next year.

This Pitt game will be a big one for us. If we can pull off the road W, I think that have an excellent shot at cracking into the top 6. I can easily see a scenario of where we go 6-2 down the stretch.

Agreed. Of course, if we withdraw our appeal of the NCAA sanctions, then we’ll avoid the tourney altogether.

Must be a typo... Syracuse has the number 2 next to their name. Almost as if they were in the top 5 nationally. When was that picture? 1987? 
Sorry. Had to give @CuseJacket a hard time

Crazy to think we could finish that high and not make the tournament. One loss is about all we can do the rest of the way and go 2-1 in Greensboro. That could get us into Dayton possibly.

Right now ND is in 7th in the ACC at 5-6 and five teams are tied for 8th at 5-7 (GT, Pitt, BC, Clemson, VT).
Those 6 teams all play each other this weekend. GT @Pitt, BC @ VT, Clem @ ND

UNC should’ve closed that game out in regulation but they’ve made blowing games an art form at this point.

What a classic. Roy Williams is a clown.

That no call on out of bounds off UNC was a game changer. Could have easily called a foul. That was one heck of a game to watch . UNC will be a tough out now with Anthony back. He was on his game last night. Fun to watch Jones and Anthony go at it and play at such a high level.
