So the VT loss got me thinking (must admit I didn't see it as I had another late night at the office ... boy was that a silver lining not watching). Clearly this year is a matter of a lesser defensive team and a better offensive team.
Somebody noted earlier without the D of years past, we drop a couple we wouldn't have previously. But with the better O, we probably manage to play at a higher high level at times too. So, if we drop 2-3 games we shouldn't and manage a 13-5 or 14-4 type ACC record (say top 4 ACC finish but not champs, top 3 or 4 NCAA seed, but not a 1 or 2), but the team gets to the Elite Eight (not the F4 or Final), do you take the trade over last season? Obviously a F4 season trumps most other accomplishments ...
Just curious ...
