This could get really ugly.

 

[GMUgemini]

We will lead by as much as 5 at the half and lose by about 12.

Has us a 14 point underdog.

I know Gray was discussed in another thread, but I think Hewitt should start him just to mix things up. The season is close to a point where Hewitt should be willing to try anything and see what works.

No way he starts Gray. If Gray plays, it'll be for 30sec to a minute and he'll be pulled and won't see the floor again.

St. Louis is a very good team. I can't wait to see how magnified our "nap time" on offense becomes against a defensive minded team like this. The normal 5-6 min. lull could become 9-10 minutes.

I know he wouldn't start him, I am just saying it would be nice to see.

The only good thing about this game is it is on the road.

We shock the world...and forfeit at half with a 2 pt lead

that'd still count as a W contributing to our A10 half time record, correct?
6-1?

Saint Lunatics by a dozen. No shame to falling at SLU though.

 

[patriot2000]

My hope for this game, on the road especially, is not necessarily to win. I just hope not to embarrass ourselves! We've shown we can play with just about anyone. Maybe we can play with SLU, too.

I'll be at this one. Looking forward to seeing our first win in the A10 in person. I plan on storming the court after the game and stealing the game ball to proudly display in my basement. It will be glorious.

SLU is due a bad game. We are due a win. Gray is due some minutes. Holloway is due a screen that will leave him open. Hewitt is due a late game rotation that makes sense even if just by luck.We fans are due some happiness. We will not be hindered by our home court disadvantage. We beat the spread.

 

[Patriotsince81]

We lose by 25.

Anyone know what our overall record is on NBS Sports Network since its inception? Maybe we need to get a game on Fox

 

[Haxormax]

lose by 1 after being up 30 at the half. Hewitt goes on court, commits sepuku. we all cheer.

Even in a horrible season, its nice to be playing multiple top 25 teams in conference ever year.
