Does this team have a shot at a decent season and possibly an NCAA bid? At this point it's still hard to say, but these next four games in January will be very telling. Go 2-2 before the Duke game and they have a shot as the schedule gets easier. 1-3 and we can chalk-up another season in the ACC cellar.
When has any GT under gregory been close to making the NCAAs? We don't have a realistic chance this year playing the way we are. Last year the ACC got 6 teams in and all had at least 10 ACC wins, and one 10-8 team was left out. The year before 6 teams, all winning 10 and a 9-9 team left out. Year before that only 4 each having won at least 11 and an 11-7 team was left out. losing 9 in conference pretty much kills any chance we have at an NCAAT bid. The back 8 of our schedule has 4 road games and games against Pitt, UL, ND, and CUx2. With the level of play and consistency, or lack thereof, this team has shown, 5-3 in that stretch is about the best we can hope for. If we can do that then we would need to go 4-2 over our next 6 to hit 10-8 in conference. But quite frankly I don't see us winning either 4 of the next 6 or 5 of the last 8.
