Re: are we going to finish second?

We could and I hope we do. However to do that I don't think we can more than 2 games

That's true, I was trying to think of how to word it and finally just decided to throw that out there and forgot the word lose.

Re: are we going to finish second?

we would win all our games at home and steal one at either Mo State, Creighton, SIU, or Evansville. We have to win at least 2 on the road and win all of them at home. If we do that, we will be sitting pretty come tourny time.

Re: are we going to finish second?

I think the only way would involve no more than 1 loss by us. This scenario would mean 2 losses by SIU and 3 by Ill St to create a tie for 2nd. Both of those are stretches. The most dangerous games on our schedule are at Creighton, SIU and Drake at home. Given recent history it will be tough to take 2 out of those 3 along with winning the rest of our games. Landing in 3rd place would be fine with me at this point.

Re: are we going to finish second?

I would like the first time we beat creighton in a long time to be when im there (ST LOUIS!)

Drake...we'll take at home. No doubt. Korver will NOT hit 7 for 8 from downtown Waterloo. 39 points out of 58 from behind the arc....seriously.

Re: are we going to finish second?

And for those people who are against Jake...no matter who the players are (his or Macs) He is now 31-21 as a head coach. 61% winning percentage...pretty good!

Re: are we going to finish second?

this is where we see if Drake is really for really real. We know they are Suprisingly Real, but they have yet to test their road toughness like they will in February.

Their realness right now is 8.4. More real than Petey Pablo, but not as real as Ja Rule (who is 9.5 on the real scale).

Ja Rule is a freaking Jehovah's Witness. You're more likely to see him with a clipboard and skinny tie on your doorstep than in tha hood.

I think anyone from SIU to MSU could finish 2nd. Maybe we'll have a 6-way tie for second.

did anyone else read this post and think, "HOLY SH#$, THE VALLEY IS TOUGH!"

Unfortunately, too many others in the media look at this and say: the Valley is DOWN this year...Idiots like Marty Terrible Tirell on KXNO in DSM...

It's total b-s, and based, I'm sure, on the fact that many of the traditional bottom-feeders have found themselves atop the conference. Lame.
