But unfortunately, that is the card that they have drawn in this poker game here.

Boston College is not going to take it easy on us because we might be under the weather.

We need to go ahead and kind of at least put that to the side as best we can for a couple hours and truck through this game and really take it to Boston College.

They can't do that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So, I mean, look, I don't think it'll be a factor or at least it won't be an excuse.

But, hey, let's let's talk through whatever we're going through and and get through this game.

Jason, as we close out, I know you want to talk about the ACC, because as we turn to February.

It's time where we kind of start peeking at some of the bracketology and full view of the NCAA tournament.

And last year, we didn't want to do that because the ACC was garbage.

And the bracketology reflected that all the way to the very end.

But this time, as you're about to say, the ACC is looking a lot better and has a lot of teams in prime position to make the big dance.

And I think the unique thing about this new schedule that we have, this new 18-game schedule, where we only face Louisville and UNC twice and we don't face Miami at all this year, is once we face a team that's not Louisville or UNC, we can root for them to win the rest of their games.

Yeah, go ahead, win the rest of your games because that helps Duke's strength of schedule.

Again, it helps the ACC when you look back and go, all these teams have done so well and Duke beat them every single time.

Those sort of things help

in the resume building process that the selection committee looks at when they're applying all these seats.

And so all these teams getting good, you want, yeah, like you said, you want a Louisville to kind of boost up a bit.

You want a Virginia to boost up a bit after we play them.
