if we went 2-1 I'd be ecstatic because I had us pegged at 1-2 before the season started so that would be making up for the loss last night which I had as W and get us back on the mjmaherjr 15 win path1 & 2 in Bahamas my guess fwiw, but 2-1 certainly possible. Do that & build confidence & little momentum. All about next year & getting better. I enjoy this team
I had them with a L last night.
I have them beating MSU and losing to Baylor then winning the last game.
If we keep MSU to no more then 72, then I'll say we'll have a good chance at winning this.
And you'd like to think after last night, that they'll be working on transition defense.
Couldn't disagree more. There aren't many situations under which we have a "good chance of winning this". Not sure how anyone who has watched both teams play could pick SJU for a W.
And we gave up 90 to Minnesota. We could add Moutombo and Gary Payton and Mich St. would still get 75+.
True, we can't be giving up 90+ points, but Mich St. 2 big men are injured.
Bridges is avg 10boards pergame, Goins 7.7, and Ward 6.0 and that''s it so I believe we could win the rebounding games, thought we played a decent half court defense.
If (notice, I said IF) they work their asses off in practice with transition def and improve alot, maybe give up 10pnts there instead of 23 we could possibly win?
They aren't a big offensive threat on offense either. 63 vs. Az, and 48 vs. uk. Yeah I know those 2 are much b etter then us, but i'm just saying.
Bridges is 17pnt, Ward 11.7, Harris 9.3 and McQuaid 9.0
Then Goins at just 5.0.
So, I'm just saying that i think we have a real shot in this game
