Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 3024590, member: 6927"] It's always more about the wins than about the losses: [INDENT]Two weeks ago, North Carolina was 10-9 and an afterthought for the NCAA tournament. The Tar Heels were a top-50 RPI team because of a difficult schedule and a couple of decent wins, but teams merely one game above .500 aren't typically in the mix for an at-large berth.[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]But after a four-game winning streak -- which includes a pair of key victories over top-10 teams -- North Carolina is solidly in the field. How did it turn around so fast? [B]Big wins -- it's hard to get bigger than beating then-No. 1 Notre Dame and previously unbeaten NC State in an eight-day span -- are always going to help the résumé more than bad losses are going to hurt.[/B][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
