RE: Pick an upset today
There would be a lot of upset fans including myself, but WKU over UAB would not in any way be an upset. We have the same conference record, we are a bad team outside of Bartow, we're riding a two game losing streak against bad teams, we haven't played well since Tosin got hurt, and we are still extremely young and inexperienced.

I believe we win, but I wont be surprised if we pull a Mike Davis.

I'm hoping for a MT UTEP match up. Let them beat the hell out of each other.

RE: Pick an upset today
I would just like to point out our 9 conference away games went:
Win
Loss by 3
Win
Loss by 2
Win
Loss by 3
Loss by 9 in ot
Loss by 3
Loss by 4

That is not a bad team on the road, it is a young team not quite over the last hump.
For comparison, our road conference games went like this last year:
Loss by 5
Loss by 11
Win
Loss by 5
Loss by 11
Win
Win
Win

We have been a different team in Bartow. Having Tosin back (or missing him) will make a huge difference. I am confident we can do it but also wouldn't be surprised if we lost given our recent collapse.

It's not the building, it's the Fire Ray Watts chant. It will bring us victory tonight and make Ray sad. Ray deserves to be sad.

When you have 4 straight road losses bad teams you should beat (North Texas, Rice, FAU, and FIU), you are a bad road team. Let's hope we see the Bartow Blazers tonight.

I think a lot will depend on Tosin. His mere presence is significant in terms of helping on both offense and defense.

It wouldn't be a shock to lose to WKU. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised with a big win. WKU lives and dies to a large degree with the 3. We need to defend well and hope they aren't hitting 50-60% from 3 to win this.

And yes, statistically speaking one would have to say the 4 vs 5 game has the best chance of there being an upset.

I think UAB pulls it out, but it will be close.

Well I'm glad today's upset is out of the way so we don't have to worry anymore.
