VA will be a bigger test for us.

We win that game? Then I'll be able to say we improved during the holidays.

The Virginia game is a game we are supposed to win. It is a nothing to gain kind of game. Very much like nc state.

At Lsu is next chance at a turning the season around kind of game

Virginia game is nothing like NCST game, Virginia is expected to be a tourney team and have a top 50 RPI. A win against a top 50 RPI team is what the committee classifies as a "good win", we need those.

Any team that lost at Green Bay isn't an impressive win for us at home. Sorry.

Again the Lsu game on the road is the next chance for any kind of redemption this team has


Edit: Aaron Rodgers was able to play that night for Green Bay. So Virginia isn't so bad after all!

Virginia is and will be a better win than NC State. Losing to NC State at home will not benefit us at all.

It quite honestly doesn't matter if we win big, win small, or just completely suck at this point. Somebody will find something wrong with it, or it won't be good enough competition, the coaching will suck or the players will suck or they should have done that because it was expected and we are waiting for them to do so-and-so or this all means nothing. It is getting old.

This was a good win tonight, I'll take it. We played as a team and appeared to have fun while doing it. Let's have a good Christmas and get ready for the next one. (and BTO you are spot on about Virginia)

So beating UNC wouldn't help us since they lost to Belmont, right?

Just fit everything to fit your agenda, love it.

Come march the committe defines a "good win", as a win over a top 50 RPI opponent. Virginia is expected to be one, Nc State is not, UVA would be a very solid win.

Virginia's best win is vs Missouri state(Rpi 82).

To suggest they are going to be a top 50rpi win when the committee looks at it is very optimistic.

Nothing at all impressive to me by looking at Virginia's résumé so far. In fact just the opposite considering they lost to the packers

That's what they're expected to be. Could the fall apart and be a team with an RPI over 100, it's possible, but unlikely imo.

When March roles around I'm pretty confident Virginia will look like a better team than Nc state.

Neither will be top 50rpi teams IMO.

All three of us are in the same class. The outside looking in class

If thats the case and NC St. has a worse rpi than Virginia along with UTEP setting around 198 rpi the last time I looked that would about equal the two losses to Georgia last year so why do you think the committee will let more than 3 or 4 in and we are one of them?

Idk, ask Lunardi?

Just about every team close to the bubble on either side has some bad losses, that's why they're on the bubble. Ole Miss had some absolutely horrendous losses last year, but still got in.

That is your opinion which you're entitled to, I think they'll be very close to a top 50 RPI team.

Anybody notice Xavier's RPI? Might be a good idea to cheer for them.
