Huge game. We have always had trouble down there. We win this one, we will be sitting pretty good! I guess we shall see.

Every game is must-win, but this is our toughest opponent that we have before pod play begins. Getting the #1 spot in the top pod is important

This is our toughest road game of the year besides Syracuse. I think the matchup might work in our favor as they don't get to the free throw line or shoot 3s very well. And shoot FTs as bad as us.

UAB and MTSU were both shooting the lights out last game. Let's hope they got it out of their system.

Tavion Lovan has a broken hand. Sounds like he isn't ruled completely out though.

Just one game at a time. Play each game to the best of our ability. The chips will fall where they may as regards to what the other teams do. Don't worry about them. Right now, let's beat the Blazers!

Another cusa opponent, another mostly empty arena. Sad

Yeah, UAB has fans and a proud history too. CUSA sucks the life out of teams. I would have thought this would have had a lot of buzz down there considering the long term rivalry these two teams have and that we're in first place.

BORING game ! Same old offense. I just hope we can keep it close while Caver is out. Beating UAB will be tough playing like this and then going to MTSU will be even tougher. We can easily be 8-5 after these 2 games.
