Basketball question about winning with our schedule

We seem to have an older group of players that are generally well thought of, but our schedule seems tougher than normal also. Do you think we are a surprise team that wins against Alabama at their place and wins 12-13 in the ACC or a good team that competes well against the big boys but the record leaves us outside looking in.

I think somewhere in the middle. I think right now with no major injuries they are a NCAAT team, but with a tougher schedule and potential Coach Brownell bad decisions it will be right around that 9 to 11 seed. Right after the opener with Winthrop Clemson has consistent games with good teams. The tourney in Ashville with a decent UAB and probably Maryland who is in a lot of preseason top 25 ratings is strong right from the get go. The ACC will be a lot tougher this season. Terrence Oglesby has the ACC the second best conference after the Big 12. Watch out for Wake Forest which beat Alabama in a charity exhibition game last week. Also Virginia Tech and FSU are going to be a lot better than last season. Still have to get work on kinks getting Clark healthy and back in the starting role is key. Also Coach Brownell is concerned about rebounding and defense which he should be. They could be better than my prediction, but a couple of key injuries of not making it, again. Still a big season for Coach B.
