UKMC - common opponent UT-Martin. Beat UT-Martin by 4. We won 76-51. That will put us at 5-3

Florida State - won't have a common opponent but if we can get better defensively - we can get a W. They are 4-2. Toss up.

Tulane - Lost to Southern and Alabama A&M. Interesting game but we should win. We could be 7-3 at the point.

Northen Colorado - they are 1-5. 8-3.

North Carolina Central - they are 1-4. Play Southern before they play us but we should win easily.

So - before SEC plays starts - very good shot of being 9-3 but 8-4 seems more realistic.

I don't see any way we win at Florida State the way we've been playing all season. We should win the other 5 though. So, 8-4 going into conference play.

Aside from them being a recognizable name, is there anything in particular that scares you about Florida State?

 

[patdog]

First true road game of the season. And I have a hard time believing they're any worse than teams we've either lost to or struggled to beat at home so far this season. I'm not particularly worried about FSU so much as I am about us.

It's not the first true road game of the season, we play at UMKC before that.

That said, nothing will surprise me.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

Well, there is one reason to cower in fear.

FSU is the ultimate in inconsistency. Sort of like....ummm...us. You could sell me on either team winning that game by 30, or it going into triple overtime.

The basketball equivalent of Mark Hudspeth. Was here for one season and was somehow completely responsible for every good season Rick Stansbury ever had, both before he got here and after he left.

Don't know how good they are this year .. but Rick Ray's team beat them by 7 last year at the Hump

Man I wished we'd have the southern game back. Along with pulling off that Texas tech game in which we almost had.

FSU took Iowa to overtime last night on the road before losing

They look to be a pretty good team. If we play defense the way we have been playing, with the exception of the UT Martin game, we will lose.
