Probably 5 conference wins. That's a two game improvement over last year. As much as we can expect. Anything better than that and it's gravy. I'll go with 6-14.

We won't learn much about the team over the next 3 games...all 3 opponents are bad, starting with Mercyhurst who is one of the smallest teams in the country in the frontcourt. Need to stay healthy heading into the Memphis game two weeks from today (and hopefully get Byers some confidence by knocking down some 3s).

That sounds about right. It might be unrealistic but I'm rooting for 7 wins because that's what it will probably take to finish in the top 12.

I think a lot depends on the health and ability of Roberts Blums to play at this level. Allard's defense has been weak and he doesn't have the ability to create his own shots against a good defense. I don't know much about Blums' defense but he was Davidson's leading scorer last year and 247 ranked him 3* .88

Agree, hopefully Blums can knock dont some outside shots. Allard is a big taller, I though he would be able to use that size to get shots off but not really.

Should get tonight and two more wins before Memphis and WF or MSU. Probably two L's there and then one more tune up before Nebraska in conference play. Not that any games are easy but PSU got no favors in conference play by opening up with two of the top 7-12 teams in the country to start.

Final score 72-57

Juric 20 pts, 15 rebounds
Roko 14 pts, 4 rebounds
Reed 7 pts, 6 rebounds (PSU has to get him going)
Bowen 4 pts, 2 rebounds, 7 assists
Beyers 14 pts, 2 rebounds (3-5 from 3)

Blums might add some 3 pt shooting but somebody has to be able to break down the defense and kick out to him and Beyers. I'm still not sold on Bowen being able to do that.
