This is a must-win for a young team. 2-2 after two games at Maui is infinitely better for our confidence than 1-3, IMO. If we play like we did last night, we beat Iowa State. I'm worried we'll be tired, but this gives us a real chance to make a statement that we aren't just a team that can play super hard and scare anyone; we're a team that has the real potential to be consistent. I also have a funny feeling that if we beat Iowa State, we are able to win the next game, too. And guys, I know we aren't supposed to look ahead or whatever, but who wouldn't be happy with this, Georgetown loss and all?
W vs. Evansville
L vs. Georgetown
L vs. #3 Gonzaga (Maui)
W vs. Iowa State (Maui)
W vs. Xavier/SDSU (Maui)
3-2 going into the Big Ten/ACC Challenge matchup at Notre Dame is A-okay with me for this young team.
Let's just get that win vs. the Cyclones, though; we'll need to bring it again!
