Cannot understate the importance of these next 3 games

I am really good at this. Last year, I said if they lost that Dec home game to Clemson, they wouldn’t make the NCAAT because there weren't enough ACC at-bats. I was right. If we lose the next 3, there's no chance of making the NCAAT unless we go 15-5 in the ACC.
Yes there were plenty of "at bats"

It hurts when you get swept by Syracuse, and lose to Miami.

They were able to still play their way on the bubble & a freaky outcomes happened in the conference tournaments. Pitt's NCAAT gate wasn't sealed last December.

Cannot understate the importance of these next 3 games

When one of your early season losses is to a team that went 0 for the SEC in a home game that's a little different than losing to a good team at a neutral site or on the road.

Surely you recognize that.

Missouri was a Q3 loss. The loss kept us out but so did any other random loss. Had we won 1 more game, we would have made it.

My point is that we cant count on WVU & LSU to be good. Chances are good they both wont be. So if we go 0 for the non-con in terms of getting a quality win, we only have those 3 games with Duke/UNC + 1 each with Wake and Clemson. That's just not enough opportunities.
