We have 9 games left in regular season. Are you assuming we go 8-1 and then somehow have five ACCT games? How do you get 10-2?

CF said we need to win all games left but can lost to dook and then get acc semis to be top 4 seed. Read backward. I am off a game. My point is if we go 8-1 and then 1-1 in acc we will be top 4. BTW 8-1 plus 5 is 14. So your math off 2 games.

If we go 8-1 and lose in the ACCT semis, we will have a darn good chance at a top 2-3 seed, depending what happens with everyone else. That would likely get our metrics into top 15 and our AP rank into top 10.

Totally agree. Not even close. That is my point.
 
From Greg: “UNC has been outscored by 41 points in the final 10 minutes of its nine ACC games. It's been outscored during that final quarter in seven of those nine games.”

If we can get a 4 seed, I think Hubert is probably safe with a split and round of 32, but I wouldn't feel great going into next year -- it would be another year with the Sword of Damocles over his head. It would help everyone if he could put a run together here and win out, or at least win at all but Duke. If he could pull that off, it would get us back to that good post-Kansas buzz.

That’s fair. And I agree that it’s an unfortunate position for the team to be in where the coach is perennially on the bubble but… c’est la vie. I know in sports everyone wants their team to fire the coach and hire Phil Jackson but reality is a little more complicated.

That got us in Stanford and SMU. And almost got us against Wake. It went the other way against Cal.

And in all the other games, we had such big leads, it really didn't matter. This Syracuse game really skews that stat.

I think they would have to split with Duke at least and win the rest of their games and then get into the semi final of the ACC tournament to be a 4 or higher. Everyone else on the schedule besides Duke is ranked lower than them, so if they lose to anyone else it's going to drop them to a 5 or 6 seed.

Here is CFs post I have been referring to. It is an idiotic take.

I didn't see that post, but I agree with you and not @CarolinaFever. State and Louisville are ahead of us in KenPom and Miami and Clemson are right behind us. If we sweep all of them plus beat Duke, we will be in a sweet spot in the metrics and the polls.
