Well, I didn't win the powerball lottery, so I guess I'll start a thread. Hoping there are other NU fans around!
Really want to shake off the beat down we received in Williamsburg. They shut down our offense, and we were lost the entire game. It was the worst we've played all season. A win vs. JMU would surely turn things around. They were picked #2 in the pre-season and have been decent so far, but it's hard to judge so early into the conference season. Vegas has us at 5 point favorites.
The game at Delaware is a must win. They seem to be the worst team in the league at this point, and we can't afford a let down, especially after we beat them by 32 last week. I'll be able to attend on Saturday and see us play in person for the 2nd time this season (and last time until the CAA Tourney).
Is an at-large out of the picture at this point? Maybe. I don't think we pass the eye test, and if Miami loses a few more games, our marquee win isn't a impressive anymore. Live-RPI gives us an RPI under 40 if we go 16-2 in conference and lose in the tournament. Seems next to impossible, so I guess we'll just have to win down in Baltimore.
W&M is best bet at this point for an at large. Projected RPI under 40 if they go 14-4 and lose in the tournament.
Let's keep home court sacred, beat JMU!
