I admit I was skeptical about this team during the 7-1 streak. I didn't put much stock into beating Oklahoma, Chicago state, Arkansas Pine Bluff, Radford, and Wright State. I thought the wins vs Pitt at Pitt and ND were solid, but that both of those teams are down this year. I wanted to see how this team performed against a legit top 25 and NCAA tournament team...
I am a believer now. I believe in Mick Cronin. I believe in this team's defensively. I believe in the effort this team displays now. I still think they take way too many threes especially early in the shot clock but there is no doubt that things are much smoother offensively.
So I ask the question. Why not us? Why can't we win the Big East this year? Why can't we go on a huge run to close out the season
Looking at the schedule
Villanova is not good at all this year. We play them twice(2 wins)
At UConn and WVU will be tough(I'm saying 1-1 with a win over WVU)
Syracuse at HOME. I think we win that.
At Rutgers. Win
Depaul, St Johns, Providence, USF - All easy wins(Earlier St Johns game was a fluke)
Marquette twice (1-1)
Louisville at home - win
That would put us at 15-3 in the Big East and 25-6 overall for the regular season before the BE tourney. 3 losses in the BE should be right up or at the top. This would give us an extremely high seed in the NCAA tourney regardless of what happens in the BE tourney.
What do you guys think?
