Gonzaga smoked them out of the building with a balanced attack putting 101 pts up vs 63 for Baylor. Reminiscent of a UConn NCAA game win last season. Really balanced, great D, and Baylor's frosh VJ EdgeCombe was 2-11 and quite handled.

Nice that we play both in fairly comfortable home settings (MSG and GP).

I would say @Texas would be our likely OOC loss (we historically under Hurley are not great @ ranked teams). Big East - I don't see us losing 3 in a row, but that stretch with Creighton and Marquette road games is concerning. So Feb 1st starts that stretch after a Depaul tilt: 2/7, 2/11, 2/15, 2/18, 2/23 with games @Creighton, @Marquette, @Seton Hall with home vs St. Johns, then @ St John's to round out are most difficult stretch.

But if anything, we do better in the NCAA tourney than in regular season, and we do better in 2nd half of games, typically. So we shall see if we win some of those road games, and that is so far in the future it's hard to predit who will be healthy or not on any team.
