OK, How About the NEXT Five Games?

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Steat must be sleeping in, so I'll help him out.

This stretch starts and ends with Clemson. The next game is Pitt, so no point in including that game.

Despite the fact that Clemson just lost to NC State - or perhaps because of it - I think we have to be worried about our dazzling home win streak against the Tigers. I'd feel better if the home game was the 2nd one, so our new kids would have first hand experience against them. But it is what it is.

Here's the schedule

Tuesday - Home - Clemson
Saturday - Home - Ga Tech
Monday - Away - Va Tech
Saturday - Home - NC State
Tuesday - Away - Clemson

I think we'll split with Clemson on each other's courts, then I think we can win the other 3. 4-1 is realistic (and a little optimistic).

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

I worry about the short turnaround time between Ga Tech at home and Va Tech on the road. Smells like a trap game.

I concur.

 

[TPFKAPFS]

My vote would be we go 4-1, with the loss away at Va. Tech! (possible slip at Clem too, but I'm an optimist)

Go Tar Heels!

3-2 is maybe the most likely outcome. 4-1 very possible as well. 2-3 would be disappointing, and 5-0 would be quite a nice surprise.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

I fixed the poll so you can vote for as many as you want. Sorry about that.

 

[GeeWhy]

I need a none of the above option.

 

[heels05champs]

I’m going with 3-2 as my pick again. I think we win the 3 home games and drop the 2 road games.

 

[Heelswin]

I worry about the short turnaround time between Ga Tech at home and Va Tech on the road. Smells like a trap game.

Only if gt is late sat pm game, otherwise Roy has plenty of time to get them ready!

Good point. It's a 2 PM game Saturday. Still a short turnaround and I still smell a trap game, but I'm a little bit less concerned. Thanks.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

I need a none of the above option.

I just added a "We win them all" option.

I didn't know you could add options after people started voting.

Remember, you can change your votes. So use this if you like it.

I will now see if I can add a "We lose them all" option. But I hope nobody will pick that one.

lol...I started a 6 game thread and just deleted it as it conflicts with your thread you already started. I'm going to go with 4-1, with a loss to Va Tech. I think the Heels get Clemson twice. On the other hand if the Heels expect to win the ACC they need to start winning more road games. No better time than now to go 5-0 over the next 5 game stretch.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

For those who may be wondering, I can't change the existing options. So your original votes can't be made to look dumb.

I was joking about losing all of them. With multiple picks, you can basically pick all of them. The only way to pick none of them was not to vote.

However, I never pick against the Heels even when filling out tourney brackets. All five look truly winnable to me. We need more of an inside game. Certainly, not a revelation to anyone. If this team can get a little bit from the frosh bigs, quit missing some of those bunnies, and Theo can play more like the second half of the ND game, it should take a some pressure off the perimeter game. Hopefully, we get consistently better play from Cam.

I just glanced at Clemson's next 5 games. Similar to but even tougher than our schedule.

@ UNC
vs Notre Dame
@ Virginia
@ Ga Tech
vs UNC

Basically they play Virginia, at Virginia, whereas we play NC State at home.

If we can beat them tonight and then they lose to UVa - both of which are likely - then we move ahead of them in the conference and possibly into a tie for first - mainly depending on what happens in the Duke-UVa and Louisville-ND games.
