Cam sadly was born with no soul so Windy says we have to be nice to him.

That being said Cam is still my dude, especially if he learns how to be the glue guy on this team. Sometimes you need to learn lessons the hard way. Hopefully we learned those in February so the ACC can suck our Deacs is march. #vibes.

Also Pittsburgh is a trash city, with trash people, and trash food. Get fucked Pitt.

Tie Dyes are back thanks to Mit.

#26 NET

 

[KingCurtis]

All the way up to 26 in NET. If we win Saturday I think we'll move to safely in the field. Just need a big win or two to match the high metrics.

Was worried about this one but happy we boat raced Pitt and glad wellman didn't curse us. I was booing his ass much to the embarrassment of my daughter last night. Got a few looks and a few laughs. Last night was fun as hell! Hate I'll be out of town for the Duke game, but my daughter has horseback riding showcase in Lexington, VA that day so family first! GO DEACS!

 

[Deacsfan27]

Yup - if we win on Saturday then I think we jump into the 9/10 range.

Finish 4-1 and let's go dancing.

 

[berneses]

Up to 26 in the NET, third highest in the ACC behind Duke and Carolina.

 

[deacfan123]

Win Saturday, and can maybe afford to drop clemson or VT. Not sure we'd withstand dropping ND or GT.

 

[deacfan78]

Just win baby!

 

[IAppreciateIt]

we are now the metrics darling that fans hate because we don’t actually beat good teams

 

[thatguy2016]

LOL move up 14 points in NET! Nice work Forbes!

 

[BigDeacEnergy]

Alright Monsanto, have your best game of the season this Saturday

 

[deacon14]

Lol and just like that Pitt, FSU, NCSU, Duke, UNC, and UVA pick up another Q1 win.

The ACC can’t say we didn’t help them out!

 

[deacfan123]

I'd like to see Monsanto shooting a little closer to the line than forcing 40 footers, but either way I think he's due for a big game.

If you are quad one game for your opponent at their home court you should be in the tournament

Absolutely, what an asinine system if they admit that a Quad 1 win at home, is not vs a tournament team. Then what are we even doing!!!???

We are ranked highly on all the efficiency metrics, which are designed to be predictive. But our issue is we are not very high on resume metrics, which are typically most correlated with tournament seeding (and I agree with that).

We are 22nd on ESPN's BPI (equivalent of NET or Kenny Pom) but only 51st on strength of record, which measures how strong your W-L resume is.

If we perform as well as our efficiency metrics suggest we will, we should rise in SOR over the rest of the season. But we've been saying that for a while and there aren't that many games left.

If we lose to Duke and @VT in close games and blow out the other four opponents, we could realistically rise in the efficiency metrics but not have a great case for the tourney.

 

[deacfan123]

Everyone around us in the NET is hovering around the 6 seed range. Just sucks to be there with them, in the system they supposedly use, and not even be remotely close to that. Maybe a win Saturday changes that, hopefully.
