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.

84

76.

I assume this is played Price-is-Right style

BC will not lose all 4.

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.

Ever the optimist, I will say 55 points. That is my final answer.

118 points

111. UNC game is going to be ugly.

i also assume this and guess one point


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

68

91

77

~65 is a good number

i'm changing my answer to 94 in honor of mark herzlich, the #1 pick of the jersey chasers and the greatest graduating class in bc history

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.

59

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

Couple of people (myself included) are likely to be out of this after Saturday.

-73 with a game against the #1 team in the country srill coming.

Class of 94 and Malcolm huckaby are looking pretty good right now

So I only need BC to win by 8.
