USF: the battle for.... I have no idea. Hopefully something
Tough physical team who’s season was derailed when yetna went down.
Keys to the game: -limiting turnovers: USF is 17th in the country at generating turnovers. -rebound: once again we face a team that is really good rebounding both sides of the ball. Battle of the 7fters will be key -defense: USF is one of the worst shooting teams in the country. Critical to keep them that way. We’ve had a knack lately of making bad offenses look good. Let’s not do that today. -Get Fouled: they don’t foul as much as they used to but if you protect the ball and drive hard to the rim, they will foul you. Gonna take a full 40 min of focus to not have a bunch of turnovers. We’re gonna see what kinda stuff this team is made of after a big loss and a 1 day turn around. Just win. Preferably in blow out fashion. |

and still somehow we are right there. pick up another quad 2 tonight, pray for Vermont to win out and things can be ok. win tonight, win vs temple, get to semi-final could be enough. Win until the AAC championship game and I dont think we'd have to worry. |

Most years, 2 Q1 wins and 4 Tier 3 losses is enough to kill you. And it still may kill us. But all we can do is win and hope for the best. This game Should have been a tier 1 opportunity if USF had stayed healthy. |

I would agree we win these last two and some how win 2 conference tourney games and we are in, the way this team looked against Houston, that could be a tall task.

Houston is an elite team and they dominate teams at home. |

We need to show some pluck and finally win a game comfortably, blowout may be too much to hope for but I holding it out anyway. We need breakout games for the freshman. Houston showed that a compromised Jarron alone just can not do it. Let’s go MAW.

I don’t necessarily think that’s true. I think we might need to make the conference championship. Lot of bubble teams winning. The bad losses aren’t going to help

I feel we need more Tier 1 wins to even out the bad losses. But if the bracketologist all say were in, then I guess were in. I just know, even if we make it to the conference championship, Im going to be extremely nervous I'd love if we could just win the conference tourney and take that pressure away. |
