This game should really provide us some perspective. We got beat by a really good FSU squad yesterday. Duke was in the drivers seat for the regular season title and lost at WF.

Amen to that. If Mack & team can somehow fix this "falling asleep syndrome" this Louisville team can win it all. The first half of the UVA game was the best basketball I've seen from anyone this year. The first half of the FSU game was on point as well - against a very good defensive FSU team.

Question: FSU has games @Clemson and @Notre Dame. Those are tough outs. Not likely to lose both, but it can happen. I know the Cards lost 2, but do they get a "shared" title in the boooks if they have the same record as FSU?

Yes, I believe they would. Same record, Co champions. FSU would get the 1 seed in ACC tournament based on tiebreaker.

Also the unbalanced schedule hurt us this year. The Top 5 teams are us, Duke, FSU, UVA and NC St.

We played FSU and UVA twice and the other 2 single matchups in that top group were both road games for us. No one else had it that tough, so if we go 16-4...very impressive and overall better than any other 16-4 squad in the league.

That’s not typically how it works. Can’t control the schedule. We were probably happy we didn’t have to play both Duke and UNC twice, not worried about FSU, especially at least at home.

Considering how down the ACC is this season, we really can’t complain about a tough schedule.
