[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 201648, member: 1199"] If being negative (I know, you think you're being realistic) helps you enjoy watching Tech basketball, go for it. Right now I am still feeling pretty good about the season. I am optimistic we will win 9-10 ACC games and have a shot at the NCAA or NIT. Until something significant changes, that is our ceiling. I have made peace with that. So, look at our schedule: UNC & Pitt on the road, UVA at home, then ND on the road is a tough stretch for anyone. How many teams not in the Top 25 would handle that stretch with more than one win? My guess is, none. Next we have VT and Louisville at home, then NC State and Cuse on the road. Before they beat UVA I thought VT was a sure win, but now, it's anyone's guess about how good the Hokies are this year. I look at the rest of our schedule (after these eight games) and things look a lot better. If our record is 2-6, things are petty scary, but 3-5 doesn't look too bad. My scenario for January is another squeaker in a loss to UVA, then a win at ND, followed by a home win against VT and (maybe) a loss to Louisville at home. I think we will be 2-4 at that point, then win one of the two road games. NCSU will play us after having played UNC and Pitt on the road, then Duke at home. They will have a huge emotional let down after the Duke game and have to play us late in a mid-week game. I like our chances there. That is our path to 3-5. [/QUOTE]
