Agree 100%. But it's also true we simply can't keep top teams off the scoreboard. We can score against the best teams in the Nation (at least after halftime we can) but we can't keep them from scoring more than us.Two of the things it means is that RJ started off in a slump, purely and simply, because he missed a whole lot of wide open shots even before he started forcing bad ones and that we've lost to four teams capable of being in the Final Four and another that might do well. RJ is showing signs of getting back to form. I suspect when the ball starts going through the basketball, you'll see more concentration in every other aspect of the game.
We will do better than just "OK" in the ACC because few of those teams are "top teams - best in the Nation". I think we make the NCAAT as a 6 to 8 seed (maybe ranked in the top 32-40). If we get a good draw we can possibly make round of 16. Where we will lose to one of those top teams which we simply can't keep from outscoring us. We lose a tough, hard-fought game 88-82.
