Embrace the Post Season!

I'm looking forward to the tournaments! Look at it this way, let's win whatever we play in! We've got the ACC Tourney, we'll be a low seed, let's win 2-3 games even if we don't win it all, a couple wins will be fun, then if we're on to the NIT, EMBRACE IT, why not! Pitt would be a fairly high seed, and every team they play they'll have a good chance to beat and even win it all, so I take the positive note on this, as far as I'm concerned, if they could at least win 2-3 games in each of those tourneys, I'd be very happy and enjoy watching it happen.

Great advice. I always enjoy watching the Panthers, no matter how high my blood pressure goes. We have a program that competes as well or better over time than probably 90% of the teams in the country. Do I want to do better? Of course but that's not going to deter me from enjoying them now.

We should have a chance now that the pressure is off and we know we are out of the dance! We played these last two games like the weight of the world was on our backs. As Jamie's teams often do when a lot is on the line, they were so tight, nobody wanted to do anything last night other than Mike! It has always been like that under Jamie, they look so scared and unable to respond when it really matters. Pressure is definitely off now, and we could be relaxed enough to make a run, but our defense or lack there of, will probably stop us!

Yeah, but who will we be playing? The 1st couple rounds in the ACCT we're up against the bottom feeders, we can beat those teams, lol---- revenge against VT or WF anyone? Why not? Then, if it has to be NIT, we're talking about TEAMS LIKE US, Power 5s outta the dance or mid majors not worthy of the dance, it's not like we'll need to D up Kentucky.

There will be teams in the NIT that are better than Wake Forest and plenty just as good or better than Miami. Offensively, we should be able to compete with any of them. On the other side of the ball, we got to learn help defense and put more effort into it. If we continue to give up 10 to 15 layups a game, we would be lucky to win even one game. Jamie has got to get them to give a bigger effort on the defensive end!
