The folks on this board who get their shorts in a bunch over close games our very young team plays I'm sure realize how many really talented players there are on most teams and that a W is a W no matter how the game plays out. USF has a bunch of talented players - I didn't say NBA material necessarily - but good D1 college players. Yesterday, a very good Mizzou team got all it wanted on the road from an ODU team that has a mediocre record at best. Those sorts of games are not all that uncommon. UConn is still very young and has lost only one game, a game that they let a very big lead get away. Our team finished 9th in the league last year and lost its best player. It's still finding its way and winning. I'd be totally pleased if they have less than 5 losses in a league that has a lot of very good teams and beyond that, several dangerous teams, and SH is one of them, driven by Pope who will give whoever guards him a handful. . RU just beat a pretty decent UF team. I think that DePaul is the only BE team that I would be totally surprised to see give us a game.
