What a turn around!!!!! How many people thought we would run off eleven straight wins after losing at Notre Dame and then Sheed being kicked off the team? I will admit that I had hope, but I was down in the dumps until we came back and beat UVA on their home floor. This team may not win it all, but we are made up of fighters. I honestly believe we have a chance to cut down the nets in Indy. But we have to take it one game at a time and continue to fight. Also, our D is much improved over the last few weeks. Where are we now on Kenpom? We have to be top 40-50. Overall, I am just super pleased with this team and I think we are in for a fun month fellas!!!!! LET'S GO DUKE!!!!!
17-3 and 4-3, 28-3 and 15-3

Our guys stepped up bigtime, Bleed. I think our Kenpom rating was 66 after the last game...but UNC scored pretty well on us so I don't know where we'll stand after this one. The only stat that I'm going to fret over is games won, and we're doing just fine with that one.

Ya, Coach definitely circled the wagons following the Irish game. Looking forward I much rather be road warriors than just a dominant team at home. If we can shore up the free throw shooting, no reason this is not atleast an Elite 8 team
Agreed on all counts. No stats, records, losses, or rankings matter, only wins. Just keep winning baby. I'm a Raiders fan, so I have to throw in a baby or two from time to time.
We have had a little run of teams that I honestly haven't enjoyed watching that much but this team is so much different. They are so mentally tough which is what I think will help the most in March. You will face adversity and you will get down but this team has so many different guys that can pull them off the mat. I think FT shooting and D might be the undoing but I would be shocked if that is before the Elite Eight.
Here's hoping that we find a way to keep that streak going and end the season with a 20 game win streak!!!
