That's how I feel. Just need 1 of the next 3 to move on. Losing tonight is ok but then there's more pressure Saturday. Lose that and its a "Game 7" on Wednesday in DC. Hope just end it tonight.
We are leading a Best of 7, 3 games to 1

Or, we can lose all three and still end up in Dayton. I think even losing all three we get in, I don't want to test that theory, but the ACC will not get 5 teams, and unless Cuse makes a major run in the ACCT, we won't drop below them (our RPI would be similar even losing out, we swept them etc.)
The narrative seems to be that "Win one and we are a lock"...which is fine. But if you can win one game and be a lock, I'm pretty sure you can win zero games and still be on the bubble, and I would argue the right side of the bubble.
9 ACC wins, a year where two extra at larges make the field, 2 significant league road wins, an OOC which didn't kill their RPI, a signature win against Duke, I think its enough
From the Cheap Seats; it was a nice win against Duke, but now is the time to prove it was no fluke. Win the last two regular season games on the road. LET"S GO PITT!
Geez, fellas, why are we talking about "well, we can lose this one" or "we can lose that one" and still get in? If our team is that shaky then what's the use? I know this team has been highly frustrating this year, and I've been at the top of that list, but with the talent this team has shown it should be able to beat the hell out of both of these upcoming teams. I'm going out on a limb and predict two road wins in a row. (And if I'm wrong, then never mind).
I agree but if we lose 2, that DC game will feel like a Game 7 to me anyway because if we lose it, we'll sweat it out till Sunday. Like you said, I dont want to test it. End the series tonight and we can start making our Brooklyn plans.
3 games to 2 now. 1 loss away from a Game 7 next Wednesday at noon, possibly against Syracuse which is a worst-case scenario because if they beat us, I can see them going over us even though we beat them 2 out of 3. The committee cant take Syr over us now but if they beat us Wednesday, they can.
We gave ourselves a little breathing room but we now have 2 games left to win 1.
