Five toughest games remaining
At first it seemed like hyperbole to talk about UAB running the table, but it gets more realistic with each game. Here are our biggest obstacles.

1. 1/30 @ Marshall - Herd can score at will but doesn't play defense. Expect a score in the 150's. Schedule makers killed UAB here. The game is the second half of a road trip and at 11am. Bowling Green to Huntingdon in late January seems impossible.

2. 2/21 @ Middle Tennessee - MTSU has shown they can play us close. This one is on the road and they will have Giddy Potts. Plus, UAB is a rhythm team, and this game follows a week off.

3. 2/13 @ Louisiana Tech - yes, their home winning streak is broken, but they are still a tough team, and I imagine they have their blood boiling to beat them some Blazers.

4. 3/3 @ Florida International - I haven't figured this team out yet, but they are currently 4th in the standings and appear to have their best team to date. Adrian Diaz blocks more shots than William Lee. Plus UAB doesn't play well on this trip historically.

5. 1/23 North Texas - because it's the next game,a nod someone will respond to this thread that we shouldn't look ahead and we should play one game at a time.

We definitely are better than anyone in this conference, but it would be extremely difficult for us to run the table.

That Sunday game in Murfreesboro makes me very nervous.

MTSU is a very good team with Potts.

I believe all seven remaining road games will be difficult.

I agree with all of those in the same order. The way the Marshall game falls really sucks.

RE: Five toughest games remaining
Just based on talent and how good their team is, the MTSU game is the most difficult one remaining, IMO. Marshall is a close second due to their resurgence and the quick turnaround on a back to back road trip. La Tech would be third due to their prowess at home and the fact they are always at least a pretty good team. We should win every game at home, unless we have some sort of weird mental lapse or something.
