In my opinion, kenpom is the best gauge for measuring the level at which teams are playing. So, needless to say, I am excited to see us ranked second there, behind only Villanova, by 1/1000th ( yes 1 one thousandth) of a point, .9425 to .9415. Our offensive efficiency is 12th (117.2 pts per 100 poss) and 9th in adjusted D (92.1 pts per 100 poss). In addition, we have played the 9th toughest schedule in the country. Just FYI, Wake has played the toughest, according to kenpom. FWIW, they project us to finish 24-8 and 13-5, with a loss coming at Miami (48% chance for us to win) and wins against UNC (72%), Clemson (68%) and Ville(74%). That projection, along with their others, put us finishing 1 game behind a 14-4 UNC for seond in the ACC. Remember when we would be ecstatic at the thought of that finish? The good news? Two wins and we are in the ACC Championship and 5 more put us in the national championship. SO, as long as TB can continue his streak of winning at least as many as the year before, we should have at least 6 post season wins. That could mean an appearance in the ACC finals (2 wins)AND the FF (4 wins)or get at least one win in either of those I just want to see a deep tourney run.
