Welcome to the next 3 games. Any loss in my opinion ends our tournament chances.

Wake is very tough at home. I think we need to go 6-2 the rest of the way. A win at Lville or a win against UNC at home could cancel at a loss against Wake. At Pitt will be a tough one too but we have not laid an egg on the road this season

I dont think that will be enough if you have losses to 2 or 3 of the bottom 3 teams in the league.

This year strikes me as a down year for quality bubble teams. Lots of change in the 20-30 ranked teams. I feel confident that 10-8 makes us pretty good considering the strength of the ACC.

4 teams in the top 10 and UNC is #12.

There are teams in the top 25 with 7 losses (OU and OSU).
 
The main thing we need (other than wins) is momentum. We need to start getting into rhythm before the ACC tourney.
 
10 wins to get a bid is possible, as long as you add on 2 wins in the ACCT. 11 reg wins is a shoe-in.

That's setting the bar pretty high. Before anything else, id like to point out that the goal should be 11 wins, you are correct, that is a lock.

But there's no more Big East(as a power conference), the SEC sucks. The B1G is pretty good but not great, 5 teams tops. Big 12 is solid, but theres only 10 teams leaving 4 or 5 tourni teams. The Pac 12 is like the Big east of basketball, theres a lot of good records but only 3 or 4 tourney teams. The ACC has 15 teams, with 10 tournament caliber teams(5 locks and 5 bubble teams). The big difference is most conferences have 1, 2, or maybe 3 locks.

11 wins is definitely a shoe in, and I think 10 wins and a tourney win is a shoe in. 9 wins and a good tourney run is probably good enough for a low seed or play-in.
