slu72 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Had mixed emotions about X beating Temple last night. Nice to see Temple with an L, but they'll be like a wounded tiger on Saturday prowling his own jungle. Also, X now has two W's over A-10 elite teams, although the W over Butler didn't count in the league standings. Still, this has to be encouraging to the young Muskies, when I was kind of hoping they'd be settling for middle of the pack results in a rebuilding year. Last night's W will fuel their confidence that they're still an elite A-10 team, and we already got enough of those this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 To win this league, you are going to have to protect the home fires and steal some road wins. Home will be tough for us; we cannot come out "not ready to play" as I have heard players like Cassity, Lisch, Perry, Meyers, Drejaj and others say in the past. No excuse for that. Our home schedule is tough in conference. Umass, Butler, VCU, St. Joe's, Dayton, Charlotte and La Salle are all high flyers right now. Running that with winsa in the ledger will be tough. The road needs to be conqueredand will decide who finishes where. We all but have to win at Duquesne, at Fordham and at George Washington. Those are the dregs; no questions asked. That means we could be facing 50/50 games at the Bonnies, Xavier and Richmond. I can't see us winning at Butler right now --- the 14th rank team in the country should lose to no one at home. And Temple just got tougher what with them losing at X while coming off another loss at Kansas. Every night look sto be a street fight with no holds barred.

Backhand is there roided up with a crobar. Bills will go undefeated in conference play. Quit whining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMDG Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Everybody has just as bad as us in conference, in the case of Butler and some others, worse. Success will breed success for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyDawg Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 If Butler wins a game in which they are favored in tomorrow, they will have 6 road games remaining all season long. Butler had a very difficult schedule, it becomes one of the easier in the league if they are 2-0 with 14 games left and wins at St Joes and Dayton behind them.
