How many ACC games will the Heels win this season?

[mjrocks23]

The Heels have looked awesome with the return of Marcus Paige. If the team stays healthy, how many games do you think they win in conference play?

I'll say 15. We'll probably lose the 2 games we'll be underdogs in (@UVA and @Duke). And then we'll probably slip up one other time, but see them being perfect in the Dean Dome. Maybe @Lville or something.

How many do we have?

Seriously, this team, if it stays healthy, has the capability of running the table in the ACC, but of course that is an extremely difficult thing to accomplish. Hell, you can lose at Wake on a bad night.

Here's my point: This team has a chance to be very, very special. The early measure of that mettle will be how we handle adversity on the road in the league (and we haven't gotten a full anally administered dose of ACC officiating yet). We got a nice taste of adversity early and showed toughness, and now Marcus is back. Lessee what these fellas can do!

I'd like them to win all, but agree with the comments above, there will be some slips.
That said, I'd prefer a road loss to Wake than an "expected loss"
And by that that I mean UNC recruiting would get a huge shot in the arm with wins in Derm and Raleigh.... I think recruits could overlook a slip-up at Wake or BC where losing to the two main Rivals hurts the image.

Make no mistake, and I've said it before, those losses to dook last season hurt... and hurt bad vis-a-vis recruiting. It hurt our brand, and then dook being handed the natty sealed it.
We are flat better than dook, but those games are always rivalry wars. This season is time to make a statement.

Yup. Images of nerds with painted faces crying after another Psycho T & Co beatdown (The Green Tea game was one of my favourites) must have helped Harrison Barnes with his decision.
Remember the interviews with Reggie Bullock when he trashed talked Kyrie Irving? Those guys wanted to be Heels, wanted to beat Dook and did, often.
