RANK OUR GAMES AGAINST TOP 10 TEAMS IN ORDER OF LIKELIHOOD OF UPSET

[RespectAPA]

Any team that can rebound like Iowa did and can score like Florida State did. If the team has an athletic guard that can nullify the press with their speed, which FSU did, then they hav a chance. Otherwise, if they're not getting defensiv boards often enough, then they'll just need to pray that our shot hitters miss and miss and miss.

I haven't watched our opposition to know which of our teams that describes, tho. UK has 3 of the top 8 rebounders in conference, so they might be a problem. Vandy's Pierre is top 3 in points and rebounds. Arkansas's Higgenbottom is the top scorer in the league, but their team hasn't been good overall, so I don't think we'll hav a problem with 'em.

At the end of the day, it's basketball. We could play Vanderbilt one day and beat them by 30, then lose by 2 three days later, then beat them by 20 three days after that. Sometimes the percentages just don't go your way. Just because you beat a team doesn't mean you're better than them, and just because you lost doesn't mean that you're worse than them. The top teams in the league could beat us by 15, but also lose by 15. How the game is called by the umpire matters too, and that varies. [I don't think MTSU keeps us within arms reach if that game was called like some of our others games]

I should hope our team's confidence is that high, but the fact is we are underdogs because we are currently ranked lower than these teams. Like, facts are facts. The thread is about predicting the rest of our season, it's supposed to be fun.

It’s not a fact. It’s opinion. It doesn’t matter what is projected on paper.
Does it not make it fun because I shared a difference in opinion from yours?
North Carolina State last season started the season undefeated on their way to the Final Four.
Games are decided on the court.

I'm suddenly reminded of why I've blocked at least two of the last five of your accounts

I’m not reminded who you are/were because the thing about my only account and on-forum persona is what you or anyone else post is irrelevant to me.
I didn’t quote you, you quoted me.
I don’t care if you agree with me. Not a fragile poster so to speak.
I agree it’s comical.
