They have Syracuse which is always tough for us, #8 NC State, UNC (who is playing better and will want revenge), Miami who always seems to give us fits, GT and WF who have massively improved, and we also still have to play #5 Louisville too.That is just some of the games. There are a lot of wins that still need to be made. We really haven't had a statement win yet. If we could knock off NC State or Louisville somehow that would help. They have to win the games they are suppose to win. Also the ACC Tournament will have something to say about it too if it comes down to the bubble. There are still a lot of challenges, this league is tougher this year because almost everyone is equal. Not tougher as in better but tougher as in almost everyone is at the same level except the top 3 and Pitt and maybe Notre Dame. Still wouldn't count Notre Dame out though just because of their name and there will be a lot of emotions going into that game for this team at Notre Dame because of Dara.

We have the potential and ability, it just whether or not we continue to play good or if we slip back into the old ways or panic as it gets closer because of the pressure. We will have to wait and see. They have the opportunity to be special.

In a way I want them to be ranked but I also think if we get ranked we will start playing worse because that is what has happened in the past. They have let it get to their heads in the past. I don't think this team would, but you never know. Also we can't focus on being in 4th and getting complacent because really the difference between 4th and 13th isn't much. One or two loses for anyone in the middle can change the standings dramatically. We have the talent but it is a mental game too. We need to play every game as if the season is on the line because it is. Sorry for the long essay, didn't realize I went off on a tangent this long. Lol!
