I wonder if there is a “Let’s Pump the Brakes” thread on the UNC message board now that they lost at home to Wofford (and the Heels looked horrible the entire game).

Pumping the brakes on the Tournament

I’m guessing there it’s more the variety of pump the brakes on winning the ACC.
The Heels didn’t look horrible.
This is what I was thinking. I have always been in the group of "It's not who you lose to (or look bad against), its who you beat that defines a team" Obviously their are outliers every year.
KU, TCU, OU, WV, and Baylor will all be extremely tough games but I think Tech, KSU, OSU, and Texas are being given way too much credit. I'm not buying Tech until they show me something in conference, we've seen them run through a soft non con several times. Texas continues to do less with more. Oklahoma St is a 2 loss team and their RPI is only at 82, so obviously their competition has been pretty poor. K-State played a god awful non conference schedule. They are a two loss team and their RPI is 160. Yes, the conference is going to be a grind like always but IMO there are several "good" teams that have poor home court advantages and I don't think that gets talked about enough.
Ugh this stupid thread again?
Somebody at least post a funny meme or something. This things giving me a nose bleed.

Yes and no. It’s certainly had as good of top 6 or 7, but now there’s no bottom 3 or 5 bringing the metrics down.
Just to update on the article, for those interested in the actual content, even if we go 3-1 in our next 4 (assuming a loss in AFH), we're still projected at about 6 wins total for the regular season. Would need to pick up two major upsets to in addition to be on pace to make the tourney.
Of course blowing a team out or something would improve that outlook a little.

Our best shot will probably be to win the Big 12 tourney. This team will improve a lot as the year progresses.
Probably not untrue. Although it's looking like we'd need to win 4 straight even in the B12 Tourney and that's gonna have pretty low odds itself.
Really hard to win conference tourney when you have to play an extra game than the top 6 teams.
I think the fans on here are delusional! The team I just saw live was outplayed all night by a so called also ran in B12. This team is going to struggle and to place expectations of the NCAA or even NIT on them is ridiculous! 3-4 of them need to hit their shots and these guys were like bricklayers tonight. Defense was non existent. Stop pumping sunshine up peoples behinds- these guys are great guys but winning more than 3-4 games will be a struggle from now. NIT might be a pipe dream. Stop with your silliness and enjoy the players. They are trying but are limited - CSP only has what he has!

We'll make the Big 12 Tournament, but Thursday is a long haul if we play like this.
We have a lot to learn offensively.
