The new Hoops AP Poll is out...

... and GT drops from #3 to #8 after the loss to UGA. Kind of expected that. Not a problem in my book. The polls aren't that important right now - winning is. So UNC is next in what will be a VERY difficult game. It is at UNC for one, they just lost to UK, and they already have one home ACC loss (WF), so this is a MUST-WIN for the Tarheels. In my mind I give us about 30% odds of winning this game. A victory here is a definite quality win, but it will take MUCH better play than we saw versus UGA. But we can do it!!!! GO JACKETS!!

The ACC:

#2 Duke
#5 Wake Forest
#8 GT
#12 UNC
#30 MD
#31 FSU

GT Opponents so far:

#1 UConn
#27 Texas Tech
#48 UGAy
