This team isn't really very good, and their defense is top 10 worst in the nation, but GT and NCST are

Hey, I only said not to be so quick to chalk it up as a win. They put up a damn good fight on the road.
That brilliant play with about 3:30 left in the game where Lowe forgot to remind his team about the shot clock and they took a 40 foot jump shot for a shot clock violation shows you why we can beat times like that. The difference in coaching is vast between Donahue and a guy like Sidney Lowe who I think has a conference record of 21-49 over the last 6 years. I think this is the reason the ACC is so down. There's three elite coaches (Coach K and Gary Williams), one elite recruiter (Roy), there's some solid coaches (Mark Bennett, Donahue and I'll even throw Seth Greenberg in here, some unknowns (Clemson and Wake) and there there's the group of(Hewitt, Haith, Lowe). I'll give Leonard Hamilton some credit, he has improved a lot over the last few years as evidenced by his teams defense.

You should start a thread saying we'll be 5-0 in ACC play. Let's see how far you can take this.

UVA at home without their best players should be fine next Wednesday Night. Outside of Frank Haith being their Coach, someone convince me we'll beat Miami and I'll open up th e5-0 thread.

Wish I could but I also think it's going to be a tricky game. All of their losses are to good opponents (besides maybe Rutgers) and we will be on the road. As you pointed out, they also need an ACC win badly. If we can sneak out of Coral Gables with a win though, then I think we will handle business against UVA and head to FSU at 5-0 in the ACC.

The best thing that I can say is that they're poorly coached, and like us, don't have a lot of size. The Rutgers loss is a bad loss, but I can't say it's worse than Harvard or Yale. They also have one decent win versus West Virginia. The rest are pretty much cupcakes. Kenpom thinks we'll lose this one and 8 of our next 9. He also LOVES Maryland.

The fact that Miami desperately needs a win gives me pause. Although true, Miami is a horrendous defensive team, especially against teams who shoot the 3 well. Our defense has actually been improving and Miami doesn't have a whole lot of size. If Miami comes out uninspired on defense, it'll turn into South Carolina v2 for BC where we'll make a ton of wide open shots and just blow their doors off.
