We're better than them, but we're going to need Angel to step it up. We should have swept them last year, but roads games in conference are tough, no matter who the opponent is, unless it's Duke at Cameron, then it's a cakewalk.

I agree. Angel plays better in tough environments and it will be loud in the Carrier Dome.

Angel shot 2-8 (FG) against NC State. I'm not expecting 20 points every game, just need some consistency.
 
Canes should win but it's really hard to win away. I expect Rodriguez to have a really good game he always does well in those environments. Syracuse is expecting 30k plus for the game. Gonna be nuts

Not many easy games in the ACC. From here on in, every win is a bog one as is every loss. No must wins right now though. Win and there never will be one, lose and those come sooner than later.

The ACC is good but the rest of our schedule is cake aside from UL twice and UNC once. They should definitely make the tourney.

Uceda is awful. Guy shouldnt be playing at all. Team is so much better with Lacomte/Newton out there versus Rodriguez

He was our leading rebounding during overseas a trip . He needs time , missing over a half a season is a big deal. You got to find your niche , it'll take 10-15 games.

He's super skilled for a big
