With 9 or 10 games left, this final stretch should be gauge of the progress we've made in year 1 of the Spiker era. The tougher part of the CAA schedule is behind us, the trouble spots have become glaringly obvious (consistency and defense), and the freshman have now started to feel what CAA play is all about. Its time to see if Spiker and the players can make adjustments and finish strong. I think they can.
After listening to the latest DragonsSpeak podcast (nice job guys), I thought about predicting the rest of the way to see what would be an encouraging finish.
8 conference games remain. Winning half of them would show promise. (My picks: Delaware, Hofstra, Towson (home) and JMU) Towson and JMU may seem like a stretch and sweeping both UD and HU might seem difficult, but I'm looking for what would really give us momentum as the season closes.
Hofstra, JMU and Delawre are our Pillow fight partners. I think it'll be Hofstra. Could we really beat them 3 times? Maybe I'm overly-optimistic, but I'm saying Pillow fight win for the Dragons. A second round date with CoC or UNCW will be ugly, giving us 5 wins in the final 10 games. (13-20 overall, 6-12 CAA).
