Brownell and DeVoe quotes in preview make them look like

prophets so far...about watching the clips of the 12 close games(12 of 16 lost) last year: Brownell said, "...what ws the cause? One time it is a missed switch. One time, it is over-help. One time, it is a couple of bad offensive possessions in a row right at the end of the game. We've got to learn from that."
Brownell praised DeVoe for coming to practice early everyday. Gabe said he thinks about the NCAA everyday.:
"I think we have a lot of good pieces. Devoe said, "In between Eli in the post and Donte and our guard play. I think we will have a great year.

We have mores shooters but to me the real thing is experienced guards. They can drive to the hoop and get fouled and then make the fts. We got back into it with Fla second half doing that.

and inside/outside play of pt. forward Grantham is also very important plus Eli is improving as season progresses.

The biggest difference I notice this year is the cohesiveness and belief the players have. I loved B-game but last year it always seemed he tried too hard to put the team on his back and that may have led to some dissension among the transfers.
This year we returned a ton of players, and added a couple of pieces that have proven to be helpful (Skara, Donnal), as well as some recruits that are physically ready to play ball.
If the Florida game was played last year, we would have made the run in the second half to cut it to 2, but when Florida pushed the lead back to 8 I honestly don't think we would have come back. But this year it just seems different, and we were able to not only come back once, but twice to seal the deal.

We beat Scar and Louisiana to finish 11-1 OOC and go 10-8 in the ACC I think that would put us in, or at the worst be just off the bubble of teams in.
That being said, we would probably need to beat one or two of the upper echelon ACC teams and win a game in the ACC Tourney.
It'll really all depend on if we have the classic stretch of games where we lose 4-5 ### games.

In my opinion it depends on who the wins are in the ACC, and how those teams we've beaten finish out.

don't think so...

21 total wins, with an 11-1 OOC that includes the above wins...
There will be at least 1 or 2 good ACC wins mixed in if we win 10...
safely in

I want to believe that, I just feel like we've been in similar situations before and gotten left out.
I hope you're right on this!
