5-3 rest of way = NCAA Berth?

I think the ACC will get 8 teams in.
Considering our schedule and the way we are playing...5-3 is a reasonable expectation for the finish of the season. Certainly, 6-2 is possible if we can win at Louisville or at home vs. UNC. My 3rd loss is considering a stumble along the way.
@miami (W)
@Louisville (L)
FSU (W)....key game
BC (W)
@Pitt (W)
UNC (L)
@ND (W)
Syracuse (L)...my "slip up"
At 5-3, we finish 20-11 and no worse than top 8 in ACC. Possibly as high as 6th.
Team is playing better now than in January...which will also help in the eyes of committee.
Starting to feel like this team may can get to NCAA...and no question if we get in we can win games considering senior leadership and guard play.

Let’s see how the next 3 go, I don’t feel comfortable with the “W” next to @Miami and FSU. They feel more like toss ups. Miami’s record sucks but they play tough just took unc to OT at unc. If we go 2-1 in this stretch we are in great shape but I’d we go 1-2 or god forbid 0-3 then we have some work to do would need that Syracuse game and 1 or 2 in the acc t.

Yes, I think that is the magic number.

Obviously a lot depends on who we beat, who we lose to, and the resumes of the other teams we are competing with for at-large bids, but 20-11 (10-8) should comfortably get us in without having to stress about winning a certain number of ACC games or getting help.
I believe we will reach this goal, and be playing great basketball at the right time.

It’s a ridiculous distinction ... totally unnecessary.

As long as it’s Clemson sports separate boards are redundant.

I’ll take the Tigers big over Cuse on senior day....

Littlejohn might explode that day.
I tend to think that 5-3 is very doable.
If we slip up and drop one, it might be on the road or against FSU at home (they are always tough for us).
I could see is beating unc at home since we finally were able to beat them last season....it had been several years.

I think we will beat Cuse as well. That game will be a huge one I bet to get us into the tournament.

I don't think we will need to beat Syracuse to get in.

But I think we will beat them anyway.

If we beat the U next up we are in great shape, lose this game and we must beat at least one of UNC, Louisville or the Cuse. The other 4 games will absolutely kill us if we lose any of them .
