We've had 3 great wins in the epic beat down at UNC, top 10 MSU in the rare close win, and the dismantling of top 10 Va Tech on the road.
We've had 3 losses we clearly felt like we deserved the whole time in UNC part 2, UK and Pitt on the road where we were down double digits the second half most of the time (even though we charged back vs. Pitt).
We've has 5 losses to excellent teams by small margins when we had 2nd half leads in:
Top Ranked TN
Top Ranked Duke
Highly Ranked Marquette
Highly Ranked FSU
"Good at the time" IU
The other 14 wins are solid vs ACC Comp and a flavored non-conf slate.
We've got 6 left. If we can finish 4-2, that's a great season with a team primed and ready for post season, even with its many shortcomings. Not just a whimpering afterthought of 'great we made the Tourney', but a legit squad ready to make a run and be feared. We're still here. We can compete against anyone. Be proud CardNation.
