Big Wins

[Chairman Moe]

George Washington won @ Wichita State back in December; likewise in December, Temple beat Kansas at home. I didn't follow either team this year; would think we will be a 3-5 point favorite vs GW and about a 7 - 9 point dog at Temple if we survive first round.

HTP!

Pitt will be about a 6 put favorite vs GW.

And only about a 6 point dog at Temple.

Did you figure in Pitt beating ND and UNC?

George Washington also.....

lost to Duquesne at Duquesne a couple of weeks ago, by 16 points. Granted they did beat them earlier at home and again in the conference tournament.

We will be about a 3 point favorite over GW and a 5 point underdog if we get to Temple.

Of course, wbr! I should've made the subject: Big Wins by GW and Temple - our big wins certainly are as good as their big wins. As I said, I didn't follow either of them (GW and Temple) this year, so I went to their website to see who and how they played. I think we got a fair matchup

If we are hitting shots ...


... we can beat any team in this field.

But because we are very poor defensively, we could lose to almost any team in the field.

Yep....I'd say 5 or 6 point fav over GW

And 4 point dog if we play Temple.

I agree.....

every team in this field is flawed, including us. Pretty much by definition. We could win the whole thing. We could lose on Tuesday night.

Re: I agree.....

Absolutely

I'd say about 4.5 over GW and no more than a 4 point dog at Temple, probably slightly less.

If we beat GW and Bucknell somehow beats Temple, we will beat Bucknell at the Pete and lose at TA&M. Anyway you look at it, we will continue our road struggles and probably lose our first true road game. We need some big upsets to get to MSG.

But if we get to Manhattan, who knows how that will go down.
