We are 16-7 (6-6) with eight games remaining:
Five are at home against teams sandwiched around us in the standings:
Miami
NCST
FSU
PITT
Syracuse
Three are away, two against bottom feeders in the league and the finale at Wake:
@GT
@ND
@Wake
There isn’t a game left that’s not winnable. RPI favors us in 7 of the remaining 8. ESPN’s BPI projects 6-2 the rest of the way. The toughest game left looks to be at Wake. Miami causes us matchup issues but it’s at home. GT beat us once but it was a pretty fluky shooting game for them so I like our chances to avenge that one. It also feels like we might finally be rounding into form.
I like our chances to go 6-2 or 7-1 down the stretch. Because it’s us I’ll go on the lower side at 6-2. That’d put us at 22-9 (12-8). I’d guess around 5th or 6th in the ACC though it will depend on what other teams do. Honestly, though, if this team gets hot we could easily close the regular season on a 10-game win streak. Maybe not easily but it’s reasonable given the remaining schedule. Hope they can get hot.
