I'll give you the bad news first.
BAD NEWS: We stink on the road. We're a really young team that doesn't respond well to hostile crowds. The way we're playing, we'd really be lucky to pull out a road win in the ACC from here on out.
GOOD NEWS: We are usually a good home team, and we're even better at neutral sites.
BETTER NEWS: The ACC and NCAA tournaments are played at neutral sites.
Simple enough, but I think this shows why we could have a great postseason if we make it that far. Strangely enough, an NIT game might be tougher for these kids than an NCAA game because you have to play some NIT games at hostile crowds on the road.
