Key 6 game stretch of the season

Postby MustangIcon » Tue Nov 18, 2008 8:30 pm

6 consecutive games starting January 31. 4 of which against teams that are virtual locks for post-season play and likely NCAA Tourney bound teams. Of the 6 game stretch, UH, a team that has drubbed us in recent years, is the second easiest game. This is a brutal 6 games (with 1 patsy in the mix) and our team will need to fight tough to keep the season from tanking.

at Tulsa
Memphis
Cal Bakersfield
Houston
at UAB
at Memphis

It would take a borderline miracle to beat Memphis in either game or UAB on the road so 2 wins out of this 6 game stretch may be about the best we realistically can hope for. To me I am interested to see if the players roll over or if they fight, show their character, and are competitive against these better teams. Lets hope they win the one they should and outplay 2 better teams for a 3-3 record during this span.

Wow, that is a rough patch of games. I think we will battle hard and hopefully steal a win at Tulsa and beat UCB. We always play Memphis well at home (praying to God) but I don't see us competing with UH/UAB or Memphis away from Moody. I hope we go 2-4
