Pistol Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I know we just beat two ranked teams in one week recently, and just followed that up with two more wins, but how about this week? A win at Xavier and at home vs. LaSalle would mean: -First outright conference title since 1957 (we shared the title in 1971) -A 1-seed in the A10 Tournament, our first ever -A 13-game winning streak, our longest since the start of the 1993-1994 season -A likely bump in the AP Poll, which would give us our highest ranking ever (now 16, highest since 1993-1994), and a likely bump in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll -Great position for NCAA Tournament seeding, which typically isn't as punitive for losses in the conference tournament and normally has seeds all but finalized by the last round of conference tournaments -Incredible momentum after a home sellout on senior day -Seriously increased local and national attention -Countless other benefits What do you all think? I'd be on cloud nine if we went 2-0 this week and not sweating the conference tournament like I normally do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgstl Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Winning these two games should keep us under 5 seed no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMM28 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Definitely the biggest week ever. Although I hope that this week will be supplanted by the week of March 25-March 31st when we are cutting down the nets in some regional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACE Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Since we lost to RI, Ive sat in my seat and said to my buddy sitting next to me, "Man this game is HUGE". keep em coming I hear ya. Since the URI game, each time a Billiken game has been rolling around, I tell me girlfriend that this is the biggest game of the year. She makes fun of me about it, but that is just the way it feels. Now is not the time to let up. The next game IS the most important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schasz Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 We need to take this one game at a time. Xavier is the focus right now and we want to come out of this with our 12th straight victory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
