Love the pub. We are a top 50 team right now, which is better than a long time. Let's see if we're better than that come conference play. I think a big part of that will be the play of Moreira (we know Nic Moore is a stud). Can Moreira play consistently "big" and stay out of early foul trouble, especially in games against teams we can beat like Houston where we'll need him? Will Markus play "big" in those games? Frankly, I'd like to see us sweep teams like Rutgers, Temple, and Houston. If we do that and even if we get swept by UConn, Louisville, Cincy, Memphis (most likely possibility), we could still have a 20+ win season which would be amazing. THOSE are the games that will be really exciting to watch and will tell us how good we really are (better than top 50?) . . . games IN CONFERENCE (and away) against teams that I think we are better than (Rutgers, Temple, Houston, USF, UCF). I don't expect us to beat Uconn, Louisville, Cincy, and Memphis (maybe give them a good run or 2 at home but I wouldn't expect us to beat them - not yet anyway ... MAYBE Cincy - that home game should be a good one).
