Heading into enemy territory Saturday was wondering where everyone is sitting, trying to get tickets now.

This one could get ugly.

Nothing about this year's team has me feeling optimistic about this game. If we can keep it within 15, I'll be happy.

Can we play the game tonight first? Lol

Wish I felt better about this one. Im not even confident about beating W&M.

Yeah, I'm seeing back to back double digit loses to old CAA foes.

I'd love to but with the results on the floor it leave very little room for believing.

Especially when a poster in the know says "Dont stop there, we probably wont win another game all season".

So far he has been correct since that JMU loss lol

Is this game on TV?

Yes, it's on "regular" tv. On Verizon it showed up on multiple channels including MASN when I searched.

Kind of bummed we finally get some real TV games and we are getting our butts kicked in them.

Sandbagging results in a big road win....

Good luck with that. Unless this team finds some backbone...we are going in for a beat down.

I think it will be close, but we don't have the horses to close it. Guessing we play them pretty even then go on a drought and unravel at some point in the 2nd half and lose by 8-12. Just throwing out the records and statistics because we usually come to play in this one. But we are certainly capable of getting blown out as well.

Saturday 8:00 at the Costco: VCU (6-2). MASN
