Dear Lord.

Im going to root like heck for my team.

But the USF game is a coin flip.

We couldnt handle them at all in January with a full team in Florida. They are just the sort of team that gives us fits. They are strong and can dribble drive from 4 positions.  Then we BARELY squeaked by them at Gampel.

Anyone notice what SMU, a team who if it wasnt for us would have lost 9 games in a row, did to us?  They have 7 available players and suck.  They decimated us with dribble drives from 4 positions in one of the most pitiful displays of basketball Ive ever seen, and yes that includes the last 2 years.

Houston played a pretty mediocre game for them and STILL handled us at home by 8 points.  They just throttled Cincinatti in Cincinatti by 16.

And now we will be without our only decent one on one defender.  And people think they are overrated or that it is a tossup with them?  Without Alterique?  Yikes.

We have 1 road win (ECU) and 1 Neutral site win (Syracuse) ALL YEAR.

It's sports. Anything can happen. the US olympic kids beat the soviets.

But no one can really think after what weve seen out of this team all year and what our strengths and weaknesses are that we didnt get the worst matchups possible.

My Heart is ready for a miracle. My head is ready for, at best, a Friday beat down.
