Thanks JMS. Time to show what we are really made of.

NJ1 · 01-26-2013 05:29 PM

yikes.

If we drop 2 of those, I won't panic. If we drop 3, I won't be shocked.

You know, I had the over/under at 2.5 a few weeks ago as far as how many more games we will lose. I think the over/under should be more like 3. I will personally be happy if we can get to Selection Sunday with just 3 more losses. That's an RPI in the mid 20's based on the projections. I will be elated if we lose just 2 more.

jgardne · 01-26-2013 05:33 PM

this is definitely where the rubber meets the road. any road win is a good win.

Unfortunately, we will be punished for road losses

jgardne · 01-26-2013 05:35 PM

we have to get the ecu and smu games, those are the 2 least good teams

NJ1 · 01-26-2013 05:36 PM

^ I agree. But ECU has been damn good at home this season.

~~Brother Bluto~~ · 01-26-2013 05:44 PM

Uh oh

scorpius · 01-26-2013 06:11 PM

I once thought we would go undefeated the rest of the way until the tournament. But with how we have a tough time at home against cupcakes, I would be very surprised if we don't lose a few.

Certainly wouldn't be a shocker.

There have been times I felt we play better on the road. We will see.

Hey, haven't you been paying attention? You panic at least once a day, first thing in the morning just in case. (just in case)

^ This

I feel the same way too becausr It's like the focus is really there on the road. I wonder if we can get stats of the team at home compared to stats on the road

83msu · 01-26-2013 08:12 PM

One game at a time.

There may be something to that. The Tigers have only played three true road games this year, but their average margin of victory in those three games is 15.7ppg.

NigelTufnel · 01-26-2013 09:25 PM

One game at a time ... ECU is next, and I'm definitely worried. Letting them back in the game in Memphis gave them a lot of confidence. We lost there 2 years ago. Honestly, a win would be a slight surprise to me.

trublutiger · 01-26-2013 09:56 PM

meat and tater time were gonna find out if this team is hungry

rws71 · 01-26-2013 11:09 PM

I dont know but it seems that when this team plays one on one they suck.
What is up with people being able to drive openly to the goal or our players being able to guard their man? Geez this game exposed a lot of problems.

TripleA · 01-26-2013 11:43 PM

I think we could lose every remaining road game. I also think we could win all of them. That's pretty weird.

Mimi · 01-26-2013 11:56 PM

Mentioned this a little while ago- that while we will not play any great teams necessarily, we have a stretch of about ten games in a row against solid opponents, as pointed out above- many on the road.

Will be tough.

Team is riding a 7 game road winning streak, with several of them against similar good but short of great opponents (last year's Marshall and Tulsa near the end for example).
