I would say we were better off with Keels and AJ than Baldwin. Is a transfer to Duke possible if dad gets fired? His stock must be falling fast. I imagine he would be good in year 2. Long shot I know.
Lunardi will still probably argue they are though, haha
Makes sense to me. What a lost year for Baldwin. A year of college to boost his confidence is probably a good idea, particularly if he can make $200,000 from NIL
These kids don't care anymore. He should transfer out and play another year. He has raw talent. His dad isn't the guy to help develop that.
Vanderbilt must be awful. They were up ten against bubble team Florida at home, but managed to surrender the game
Purdue Wisky in a good one...tied with 8 mins to go. Any way to edit the title of the thread and give Goldwire a break? 
Oklahoma is a fascinating team. They have a couple of very good transfers, but lost Manek via transfer to UNC and Williams transferred to Wake, and he is first team all ACC
Wisconsin plays very hard. One great player in Johnny Davis. No egos. Purdue is really good on offense and bad at defense.
With all these teams dropping like flies someone needs to explain to me how we are not a one seed if we win the ACC tournament. Kansas has just lost 2 in a row. Purdue is about to go down. We would be 30-4 and on an 11 game winning streak with wins over Gonzaga and Kentucky.
Purdont loses, Crazy finish...trading 3's in the last 8 seconds..and a banked prayer to win it...great game
I can explain it. If Duke is 30-4, they will be a #1 seed
Why did the Wisconsin player throw up that prayer with ten seconds on the shot clock? Did he think that he was being fouled?
You have some quad 2 and maybe a quad 3 loss (I can’t remember). At the end of the season it appears you will have only played a couple of ranked teams all year if Ohio State drops out, which is likely. It’s simply your SOS which isn’t good due to the ACC being so bad this year. It’s beyond your control but it is what it is.
Then how would Gonzaga be a 1 when they play in a mid major and we beat them head to head?
Or how does Gonzaga get to be a 1 in other years when their conference is down?
I think it’s Arizona and Gonzaga as the two 1 seeds right now. IF Duke wins out, they should be the third 1.
Like others have said, if we win out...we are absolutely a 1 seed. As long as we don't lose Saturday and our first game in the ACC tournament- we should be a 2 seed.
If we win out we are the one in the east pretty simple. 4 losses by a combined 9 points?
Down goes the Irish. No share of this regular season title!
Nah they don’t care about common sense It’s all about let’s putDuke at 2 and let everybody obsess about it
But the issue with them taking a loss is that it’s to a ranked opponent .
I think Duke is a legit 2 seed. Won’t complain if they get a one . Where do Dukes Six road game win opponents rank in the net ratings? Seriously asking I’m unaware.
we will see but a loss anytime over the next couple weeks and a one seed talk is over .
I agree with that analysis Chris. I'll add, the only way I think we get to a 1 seed is if the teams ahead of us stumble.
Either way, I am fine with a 2 seed, and if it's in the East, all the better.

Except we are requesting the Midwest, not the East region, so that is our hope. Part of that is Coach K being from Chicago, but I bet part of it is not wanting to somehow play Villanova on their home court.
Duke has played so well on the road this year, I feel much more confident than previous years playing near the opponent's campus. And there will always be Duke fans present.
I am not as worried about Big Ten teams as much as Big 12 or SEC teams that have speedy point guards which could be our Achilles Heel.
