Let's Play A Game...

Postby EagleDave on Thu Jan 28, 2016 12:04 am

With BC threatening to become the first ACC team to go 0-18 in league play and Christian rapidly hurtling toward the unemployment line, interest is at an all time low. So, to help pass the time between now and the end of the season, let's play a little guessing game.

BC's next four games feature four ranked opponents, three of them on the road. What will be the total number of combined points BC loses these four games by?

Winner gets to not watch the final 7 games.

I'm going with 62 total points.

120 including a couple of 40 pointers to UNC.

BCs won't have Robinson and at times will try to play 6'5" Garland Owens against UNCs front line. Have fun

You can permanently ban me from EO if Robinson is truly out all 4 games and BC wins any of them.

These games should be forfeited

I'll go with 80. UVA and Louisville haven't been blowing out ALL of their opponents, nor has UNC. However, intentional fouls by BC towards the end of a close game often results in larger margins. I hope that I'm wrong.

I think the constant beatdowns actually make Christian less likely to be fired. If we win 0 this year, then 4 next year, I would bet he gets a 4th year on account of the fact that the team will have shown improvement. In another scenario, if we went 3-15 this year, then 3-15 again next year, he might get fired for that, despite winning more games total in the two year span under that second scenario. Before everyone yells at me I will say I am not offering my opinion on whether he SHOULD be fired under either case, but whether I think he WOULD.

for clarification, when we win a game does that point differential come off the total of the loss differential?

Any victory, however unlikely for BC, will indeed come off the final margin of defeat over the course of these next four games...

EX: BC loses to Carolina x2 and Louisville by 73 points but beats UVA by 4, the final margin is 69.

As long as UVA scores 40 points they'll be fine
