    The Floridas series

    Thursday's blowout of FAU 86-55 keeps us in sole possession of 10th place in CUSA, at least two games ahead of the 4 behind us, and a game behind Charlotte, USM, NTSU ahead of us. After FIU Saturday we've only got 2 more home games the last 5 weeks of the season with the screwy CUSA scheduling. Good game for Grayson Bright hitting for 20 Thursday. Three more games with conference foes behind us: FIU, UTEP, UTSA. Get those and split with USM for a winning regular season. Currently we're 11-11

    One of the websites on WBB lists these as "sleepers" to make NCAA noise;

    Central Fla 17-3
    New Mexico 17-2
    Drake 15-4
    South Dakota 19-3

    It can be done.

    Solid win except for FIUs big third quarter run. Now a week to get ready for So Miss.

    So Miss has won 4 CUSA games in a row, 5 of their last 6. And they have double digit wins over two teams that beat us: Western Kentucky, Marshall. They will be well coached and prepared.

    A MUST WIN if we're to have a winning season.

    Aren't we the lucky ones? We get to play Southern MS twice between now and the C-USA Tournament.

    Still a chance to come in middle of the pack for the tournament. Need to just keep winning now. Southern Miss will be tough, but we are playing MUCH better now. We REALLY need this one!

    Home wins over the lowest dregs in the conference does not mean Brooke's Bunch has turned a corner. Just means we are not the worst team in CUSA.

    A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

    Maybe I am wrong but I thought we bully beat down Charlotte something to the tune of 88-51

    Re: The Floridas series

    We need the next 6 games and we have the talent to do this, we can run the table but we must play with wreckless abandonment and that means Bri Harris and Grayson Bright has to continue to not only contribute but be a danger for other teams and both of them have that ability.
    We are so much harder to defend when we are attacking the middle effectively and that opens up our outside presence.

    We have about a 40% chance of winning 3 of the next 6 games. That is the most likely scenario. Hopefully we can catch USM napping once and then be smart vs UTEP and UTSA.

    Our Pythagorean expectation is 17 wins.

    Maybe we haven't turned the corner, but we are now at least starting to turn the steering wheel. The two losses before this to Marshall (triple OT loss by 2) and really close loss to WKU both on the road - then beating whom we should beat at home brought me to that conclusion. Those were two of the top 5 teams on their courts. Plus, maybe we just learned to win on our own court finally. We DO have it in us, but this team has to be a "blue collar work every second" team and we could pull off some big ones in the tournament. Need to get there first....

    And, we are now scoring again... That was a big problem, but we have other players stepping up now.
