WVU would be pretty horrific if it wasn't for Jesse Edwards. He's that good. Joel needs to avoid foul trouble and keep Edwards off the offensive glass. Will need solid minutes from Zuby too. Also obviously have the Slazinski factor and he's said himself that he's had this game circled on the calendar for months.

This is a game you have to win if you want to be in a decent position going into league play. A loss here will hurt more than a win would help as WVU is likely to finish in the bottom tier of the B12 this season

WV played VA really tough recently. This should be a good test on the road. I expect a st johns win in this one.

How good is UVA this year though?
Wisconsin held them to 41pnts.

If we turned the corner from that Michigan game, then to me we win by 10+ponts, if you really want to make a statement, you win by 20+.

If we win going at WVU then we'll know that the team is ready for league play.

The way I see it, if we end up 9-2 in OOC, we can go 10-10 in Big East play and make the tournament. But any additional loss in OOC requires another Big East win to offset it.

This is a winnable game that good teams win

Lose to WV and we have to go 12-8 in conference

Pivotal game here. The margin of error is extremely small this year and a true road win would be huge.

BC and WV are the biggest threats left in the OOC.

Agree. The WV game looks tougher because it's on the road but we can't let down against anyone. Even Hofstra at UBS. Fordham at the Garden looks like the softest. Anyway no reason we can't win all four. The Xavier game at home looks important as well as we play at UCONN next. If we could end the year 9-2(1-1) I would be thrilled. Meant 10-3(1-1)
