Re: Week #4- Games of Interest
Yeah if we can avoid playing to the level of our opponents, which we have a tendency to do. More so on the road, but you get the point. Also, our conference opponents know us a lot better than one-offs. We do what we should do in these next 4 games leading up to conference play, I'll feel a lot bet...

Tough to say DC. I think WVU yes, maybe on LSU and I'd say no on UMD. If you have a big that can contain Toppin you can beat Dayton.
