They're one of the biggest teams in the country and have legit scorers all over the court. We were missing our best post player for the whole game. Downplaying this win is dumb.

They were picked to finish in the bottom third of the ACC, and their Net ranking is in the 60's, Florida beat them by 13 points, the only team worth a shite they played before us. And I love Reed and absolutely think getting him back is essential, but I'll be willing to bet at the end of the year you're not saying he's our best player.

And I disagree, I think downplaying this win is far from dumb, it's prudent, lots of ball left to play.

But I stated last week after seeing this team play several games they had enough talent to make the tournament and I still believe that - you basically have to be one of the top 40-45 teams in the country to do that and I think we are as far as overall talent goes and what I've seen in our games.

But the coronation - I want it and I'll be there when it really does happen but It's a bit early. Lot's of ball to play and the best team we've played this year on a neutral court beat us by 13, and IMHO there are probably 4 or 5 SEC teams that are better than Pittsburg....at minimum.

Whether McMahon is "good" this year, or at least good enough, will be determined in the crucible of SEC play where, right now, everyone looks to be "good". Perhaps really good!

Exactly, that's all we're saying. It's the nature of these types of forums and for the passionate fan in general to have huge swings of emotional zeal one way or the other depending on how the last game went. The SEC schedule will tell the tale and reveal how far McMahon has come one way or the other. Hope we get Reed back sooner or later.
