I'm known as Mr. Positive around here, so I wanted to lay some sunshine on everyone today. . .*
Hey, we're 10-3 starting conference play! All in all, that doesn't suck.
In recent years, we've done a little better than expected in conference play. Maybe that trend continues. We're not going to face too many teams in league play with big guards that can take Gilly and Francis out of their games as much as we have lately. We also aren't going to shoot so poorly from three as we have lately.
We have more depth than we have in many years, and if Wojcik can build on yesterday's game, that's a huge bonus starting A10 play. Losing to Bama sucked, but they are a P5 program on the rise and it's hard to win road games against P5 teams most years. The Radford loss is the only one so far that could look bad come selection time, but if they win the Big South, it won't hurt us.
We control our destiny moving forward. We get home games against Dayton, Davidson, VCU, SLU and Mason – five of the top teams in the league and all likely to help us on selection day if we can get those wins.
We're undefeated at home!
