That isn't what I said, but if you really don't understand the difference between a home loss to the worst P6 team and losing a neutral site or road game against a team that is likely to make the tournament I don't know what to say. They are so obviously different scenarios that I wouldn't think you'd have to explain it to someone, unless they pay no attention at all to college basketball in general.
I'd explain how what I post is applicable but not sure you'd get it
it's about not KNOWING what is about to play out in THIS preseason OOC and then this regular season with any of the games ahead
I realize YOU aren't wrong about your point that it is different tomorrow but the fact that we may yet get a bad OOC loss is still possible and also the fact that the ACC looks legitimately weak AND that we may not have the very good ACC season that right now looks likely to at least have Pitt end up 3rd or worst 4th in the ACC
that's enough reason to "need" a win tomorrow so that Pitt actually builds their "leave no doubt" season
fair?
