Wake Forest

But Davidson and Bonny have crapped the bed.

My reverse jinx got the Bonnies a comeback W vs Florida Atlantic tonight. You're welcome A10.

It is interesting to me that all the focus is on an at-large bid. My personal opinion is that the Spiders have a better chance of getting the auto bid. I am not saying that the Spiders will win the A-10 tournament, just that the chances of that happening are better.

Right now yes but a negligible difference really if you put stock in the analytics guys. And if our at large chances decrease so will our A10 auto bid chances.

And....here....we.....go!

My bad everyone. I mistakenly read the quadrants, and therefore incorrectly stated how many potential quad 1 and quad 2 wins our schedule has. I apologize for all the hoopla that has apparently ensued (you can’t leave this board for a day!).

I still feel that this is one of our better schedules in awhile, with big(ger) names (both P5 and non P5) that are both winnable and respectable wins. I think someone basically said as much about 2 to 3 pages ago.

But yes, I WAS WRONG about quadrant 1 and 2 games. I apologize profusely and ask for the forgiveness and understanding of both the board and the higher powers (I.e. the moderators).

Well done.

So....about Wake Forest....

"Perfect" is a term often used in Gaslighting. It is inappropriate and does not fit the original context or make sense until complete belief and indoctrination upon the intended audience have been obtained by the Gaslighter.
Not making a political statement here, just passing on the purpose, connotation, and psychological implication of the use of the word in such a context. Gaslighting is used to obtain destabilization, disorientation, and delegitimization in the target.

perfectly stated.

I am happy the Spiders are 6-1, since it is much more fun watching the Spiders win in Robins, but I can't believe the hype train. The OOC schedule may be "perfect" for this year's team, but definitely not one that guarantees anything. The key is winning and oh by the way the Spiders are going to have to do a bunch of that in conference too. The increase in possible bids for the A10 is because a significant number of teams are playing better. The best news for the Spiders may be that Davidson is not faring well in its OOC play.

I think that if we believe that we have a good team, having all teams excel in the OOC would be beneficial for us, including Davidson. If they are ranked well it gives us a chance to get quality wins.
