There's always room for improvement. I just don't see any of these games as sure things righ tnow based on our play. If we come out and play well against UVA, and if I dare to be optimistic, win, It will go a LONG way in my confidence in those other games.
I think optimism is warranted. Kansas is now essentially ranked 26th, and we played them well enough that we had a chance at the end in front of a really good crowd during an away game. We're far from perfect, and there's lots that could have been better about how we played, but I like the way we are looking much better than some other ACC teams right now, UVA included.
