Two weeks till Florida, UNLV with a scrimmage with Loyola Chi. thrown in....

[nicname]

I think we will look a lot different ie. smoother, better, more aggressive, more sorted out, than we have all season.  I wouldn't be surprised if we are pretty gassed during the Loyola game as I'm sure Frank will use it as a glorified practice, but with nearly two weeks to prepare for our next real games I think we will see a better idea of what this team is really all about.  



Edit: Loyola Chicago is good and now I'm  .

Edit 2.0: Not that nervous.  They also lost to Valpo.

Doubt he uses it as a glorified practice.

Thanks, I thought you would like it.

Loy-Chi only plays 7 d00ds.  I hope we are able to JYC the eff out of the game.

And at a pace that Doc would love (Sadler, not Spradler).

Plus their biggest weakness is giving up Oboards.

Weird that we are playing there.

For Jake I believe.

Jake's senior tour.  Tons of teams do this.

BTW, this is a great time for a "what do we hope for in the next 3" post. 

I'd say 3-0 would be exceptional, 2-1 I'd take, and anything less would be pretty bad.

[SleepFighter]

They're not bad at forcing turnovers.

iirc last season at this time when we did this we went 3-0

[steve dave]

also, this roady at loy-chi could be RPI gold

[nicname]

Really want 3-0. 

This could be a proving ground for our team.

[KITNfury]

Really, really want 3-0, but I think that's unrealistic. Good ole eyeball test says we're not good enough for that.

I'm hoping Wazzu-LoyChic-FL-UNLVis this year's Wazzu-X-UNLV-Bama.  Yeah, Alcorn was thrown in this year, but still.

But 3-1 wouldn't be TEOTW.

Agreed.  Staring the conference season inside the top 15 would be nice.

[steve dave]

3-0

Where do you see the most likely loss?  For me its UNLV, but when we JYC games up and hit those 3s (see - Gonzaga) we're a damn good team.  I say 3-0.

UNLV is most likely, but FLA has enough talent to beat us as well. I think we'll handle Loy, but you never know about going to one of these Horizon league places.  We did beat a decent Clev St team in Frank's second year at their place pretty comfortably.

[Rage Against the McKee]

I think Loyola is the most likely loss of that bunch. Florida is also sort of scary.

yeah sometimes gyms with 5,500 are weirdly intimidating.  Like when hugs went to North Dakota St.  They get so jacked.

Yeah, last time they had a Top 10, high major school in their building was Michigan State the year after their title in 2000.  They lost 103-71.

Looks like the game is almost a sell-out: http://loyolaramblers.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/120610aaa.html

[catzacker]

it should be 3-0. if it's not then we're all set for 10-6/11-5.  which is garbage, imo.  might as well watch ksu football 2010 highlights.
