[QUOTE="Rowdypkunk, post: 1251869, member: 619389"] Honestly... I think we have a really good team.... we just haven't played like it. If we play like I know we're capable of... we could very easily be 8-0... and that's saying something considering how good of a team Baylor is.... cause remember we had a lead at Halftime against Baylor, and Baylor didn't get the lead back until there was 8 mins to go in the game. So you can make a case we could've won that game. And honestly, if we played like we did against Baylor for most of the game.... we could have beaten you guys yesterday.... and we did play well for the first couple mins to start the game when we got up 11-3.... and it seemed like we were clicking on all cylinders & you guys were struggling to find the basket.... but then it just all unraveled.... we couldn't find a basket & you guys couldn't seem to miss. Who knows how far this team could go.... if we play up to our potential.... we could easily win the A10 title, and make the 2nd weekend of the NCAA Tourney (depending on the matchups). However, if we continue to play like we did last night.... we could be lucky just to make it to the semifinals of our conference tourney. As I said before the A10 is no slouch of a conference. This ain't the CAA anymore where we could beat most teams even on our worst night. In the A10... we have to bring our A game every night even against the bottom feeders or we could be chalking up an L... just like last night. [/QUOTE]
