Not bashing either, but it is like making a bowl game. If 6-6 gets you in a bowl game, then it truly is not an accomplishment. It is a participation prize. However, making a bowl game prior to the year 2000 was a nice accomplishment. It meant you probably won 8-9 games or more.
Frank has done a masterful job to turn around this team. I wish that turnaround would have been done in the off season, as the damage has been done in the first 10 games we played. The seniors needed a wake up call and the freshman needed minutes on the court to grow up and gel. But they are rolling now. Now we need to take the next step and beat a decently ranked team. No moral victory like a 12 point loss to Tenn or Kentucky. Win a big ones boys. We rolling.
I’d say it would be more remarkable to average 10 conference wins in a season but only make the tournament once in that span. Not bashing at all...just amazing.
We got screwed in 2016. This year we screwed ourselves. Hopefully we can run the table and make the field. If we do that, you can look back at the last 4 years and see progress.
Lol. Good point. We were in the tournament... Until we weren't.We made the tournament in 2016. If you go by the first text message anyway!
Lol. Good point. We were in the tournament... Until we weren't.
With one more victory the men's bb team will have 40 conference wins over 4 seasons
I'd forgotten about that.Lol. Good point. We were in the tournament... Until we weren't.
McGuire?To be fair, we played 14 conference games in the McGuire era versus 18 today. McGuire went 44-12 in conference our last four years in the ACC. Martin is sitting at 39-28 over the last four years.
Not bashing Martin, but getting to 40 or even 44 (winning out) isn't the same as what McGuire accomplished. Although he does have a Final Four appearance, something McGuire couldn't do.
Were you guys more surprised we didn't make it in 2016 or that we were a 7th seed in 2017? I was shocked that we were a 7th seed...I was thinking a 9 or 10 seed. And I was equally shock that there was no invite in 2016Quirky for sure. Should've been a tourney team 2016, 2017, 2019.
We're up to #83 in the NET rankings....highest weve been all year. If we can reel off another 5, 6, or 7 in a row I'd have to think we'd get in but that's a tall order. One game at a time though

I always wondered the same thing. Whether intentional or not, it created the perfect storm for us (well, for Duke).Honestly more surprised at the 7 seed and Greenville opening round, which honestly may have been a bit of a reparations for the snub in 2016. I'd say it was worth it ha.
