Re: Week #9 - Games of Interest

When you are on the road in the a10 teams will get you. We have not won a true road game this year. Dayton vcu and Bonnie’s are all games uri could easily lose on the road. We will be fine as a team if we 15-3 in conference, but those are going to be some of our separation games.

Makes up for a really bad Big10. with Wichita State going to the AAC this year, the conferences outside of P5+BE, AAC, getting more then 1 bid will be very very limited.
