No reason to lose today. GT is one of the worst teams in the conference (2-7). They're 1-4 in their last 5 and 3-7 in the last 10. They're 1-4 in their last 5 home games. We need to start building momentum and winning on the road.

Spread is -4.0 Miami

Look closer and see they've played the toughest schedule in the ACC so far, have a home win over UVA, and haven't lost one of those 7 conference games by more than 10 points. There's a reason we're only a 4 point favorite.

That being said, if we want to stay in the conference race, we need to win these types of road games. I think we see a much better effort today than we have the last few road games, with the conference race starting to tighten up and near the end.

No conference loss by more than 10 points.
 
Congrats. It is now an achievement to play a tough schedule and go 2-7.

THEY LOST THOSE GAMES.

Cuse game was in OT also, they shoulda won that game in the carrier dome. Very few walkovers in the ACC this year, just BC and possibly Wake.
 
I hope Lawrence continues the good form from last game. That kind of production could make us very dangerous come March

We'd be killing them if we could hit layups and 3 footers. And the crowd is only 60/40 GT.

We just look like we're unmotivated.

Team probably looked at the 2-7 record and thought it was going to be easy.

Missing shots that should be gimmes is becoming a pattern. GT getting some blocks too.

It should be easy, GT is bad.

If we just come out strong in the second half, the game is over.

Another frustrating thing is we were in the bonus with ~10+ in the first half. How many times have we been to the line since that?
