Appreciate the well researched previews.
Based on our last game, I've reset expectations much lower for this game.
If we are actually seriously competitive I think it would be a big achievement.
No slight to Coach Smith and the players, just that Louisville is likely in a higher pay grade.
I'm still hopeful we can finish somewhere in middle of ACC by season end.
But the folks at the top, Louisville, Duke, et. al. are likely at another level.
