Expecting to win every conference game is complete folly, but there are folks expecting it and they will ream the team and coaches for defeats and close victories.

My "woman regions" say we win out.

Did you know they lost to Wofford and Pacific at ahome?

They are 7-6.

Just sayin.

We're gonna be up for that game. We should be able to feel confident going on the road to play a team with losses to Pacific and Wofford at home already.

Did you know they are on a 4 game losing streak?

I'm very aware. I think you simply underestimate the difficulty of playing on the road. Hell, we lost to a TERRIBLE UTEP team at FedExForum last year.

I think you assume way too much.

No one here suggested winning on the road wan't tuff.

Why did you think they were?

But if Wofford and Pacific can pull it off, I like our chances.

I'm glad you are confident, but I believe you just made his point for him. anybody can beat anybody on any given night, especially if you are the road team.

We were already in agreement on his "point".

Road games are tuff. I fail to see why anyone is missing that.

However its easy to understand why the team would be up for a more "name" opponent like Xavier than a no name CUSA road game.

That was were we diagreed.

We've already done it multiple times so of course it CAN be done.

I just expect a more human effort were we lose 1.
