Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 2933009, member: 1414"] We can survive a close loss to Arizona, but we really need it to be a win. It would likely move us into the top 25 and that visibility, showing up on the ticker at ESPN and every website's default score list, is incredibly valuable to a team trying to restore its name. Recruits want to play for those teams. As for today, if anyone things Hurley will allow them to look past UMass Lowell, and honestly, to not blow them out of the building, you aren't paying attention. I don't see any risk of that happening. With Wilson back (and Diarra soon) he has the ability to immediately bench anybody who isn't giving a Hurly approved level of effort. As for the NCAA tournament, beating Arizona would help, but a close loss just adds pressure on future games vs FSU and Nova. The real problem is that our Cuse win is being devalued and we need the league to win non conference games or all of our conference wins will be devalued. [/QUOTE]
