Message: [QUOTE="Watchdog, post: 3389993, member: 10325"] My original take was we needed to win the first two on the road to go at least 4-2. It seemed possible at the time because Cincy and USF weren't looking very good. Then, when someone brought up predictions for the first 8 games, I posted we could go anywhere from 7-1 to 3-5 and one comment back was anything less than 5-3 is a failure. I'm always positive but with the trend we're on, how many would bet their pocket change we'll go 5-1 in the next 6 games to get to 5-3? Right now 3-5 would be a positive as it would mean 3-3 against the following schedule: Tulane (H), WSU (H), @Villanova, @ Houston, Tulsa (H) and Temple (H). Tulane is 9-5 and 1-1 in the league. Last two games they lost at Memphis by 11 and beat Cincy by 5 at home. Ron Hunter has done it with unheralded freshmen plus transfers from: Georgia; Memphis/Kansas; Houston Baptist/Norfolk State; URI; JUCO and Seton Hall. Somehow he's gotten them to play together and win despite 8 or 10 guys being new to the team. Charleston was a great experience, as it looked as if everything was coming together for us, but if we don't beat Tulane, and do it without a struggle, 0-8 is a real possibility.[U][/U] [/QUOTE]
