That's why I'm saying we'll see who the fourth seed is we might be playing is on Sunday and I hope I'm wrong and we do make it past the sweet 16 but I don't think we can beat one of those teams

Ever?

You do realize these teams have way worse losses this year than Uc ?

It's not a road game if the other teams crowd isn't there either. It's nuetral. Big difference

"Road" game doesn't mean what you apparently think it means. A road game isn't any game not at 5/3. Did we play a road game at US Bank vs XU however many years back that was?

You don't get to change the definition of road game to fit what you want it to be.

What do you could consider the RI game?

That was more like a road game. Most tourney games won't have a big advantage to one team. Unless you play a UK or someone close to home.

Ever?

No not one game of those 3 teams next week

And they play way harder teams then we do which makes them better which is why they are seeded higher than us

The higher seed doesn't win ever game it's supposed to. If it did it wouldn't be fun. West Virginia lost to temple, Texas tech and Oklahoma. dukes lost to Syracuse, nc state. These teams are not untouchable

I wouldn't be scared of West Virginia. We protect the ball as well as anyone, we rebound well, and West Virginia would shoot like 20% against us.

Neutral court game that was more or less, a quasi road game, but it's still not a road game.

This. I may eat my words but I think we matchup well with them.

I'm actually more afraid of VA, than WVa.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

New poll up!

 

[UCalum08]

New poll up!

I gotta wait til Selection Sunday.

Virginia doesn't scare me much this season. They are a good team but losing Brodgon really hurt, obviously, he was a great player.

The game between us might end up in the 40s, but I think we can beat Virginia.

Playing "harder" teams does not make a team better than us. It may help their seeding.

Also, neutral games will have BOTH teams away from home court and without a heavy fan base. We suck on the road...But that disadvantage is minimized on nuetral sites.

If we take into consideration Cumberland recently performing better on the road...The disadvantage again shrinks a little more.

But hey...Who cares about this stuff right? It's easier just to say we don't have a very good chance to win more than one game. And then call it objective.

As of now on espn we will not beat duke, w.v., Virginia but we may be able to beat Purdue. Any good team we play will attack Washington and have him out of the game within the first couple minutes

Pro-tip: stop listening to ESPN and watch basketball games.

Fwiw, he's not wrong about how teams will attack Kyle. He's gonna get put into a ton of PNRs and really have to avoid fouls and defend better.

He's not bad at protecting the rim either imo, so there's even more incentive for teams to put him in PNR to get him away from the basket.

Attacking Kyle is not anything new. Teams have weaknesses, teams attack them. Doesn't mean we can't beat a team

I dont listen to anything but I look at there bracketology and I watch a lot of basketball

If you follow your last paragraph you won't be disappointed when we lose

There are a hand full of games Kyle or Gary hit the bench early (butler,Tulsa,Xavier,Ucf,smu) and we lost or almost lost so kyle and Gary are keys to us winning and good teams will take those two away just like we do to other teams.
