That was before their two best players were out? I'm curious to know who he thinks now, since he just posted that.

Then I will know who we should also look for a W against.

I'm going with 11-2 ooc and at least 12-6 or 13-5 in sec. No one is going 16-2 in sec play this yr but I think FLA,A&M, and us have best guard combinations right now. Guard play matters in today's college game . I think when Norris and key return we ll be a nightmare to stop offensively and their experience will help on defensive end.

The UTA game is going to be very hard. They have two 7 footers. They can score and rebound well.

If we beat them then I'll be really excited. That's a legit team.

both are seniors

one plays around 25 minutes/game and the other around 11. They don't look to be huge scoring threats based on their numbers early this year.

He did his predictions a while ago on their board, he had au sweeping us.



With what they had coming back and our freshmen being highly rated but unknown commodities, that wasn't a very big reach at the time.

With Wiley and Purifoy still out and our kids playing like they are, he'd probably revise that prediction today.

Their PG is obviously incredible too. We have to hope our guys are on their A game tomorrow and that we have a good crowd to give us somewhat of an atmosphere.

Everybody knows they're a good mid-major team, but this is an overreaction. BYU isn't a bad team, but they're not a very good team either. Their two wins have combined for 0-7. They had a very close game against 0-3 Princeton.

UTA's other win came in a very close game against KenPom's #237 team, Loyola Marymount.

They are a team that can beat us, and it's a game I'm worried about, but they're not close to being a top 25 team IMO.

Norris is a gametime decision for tomorrow and Armond Davis is out 2 more weeks.

Avery said we need a good crowd tomorrow bc this may be the best 9-man rotation team to come play us at Coleman since he's been there

We gotta sure up our defense and most importantly our FT shooting to win tommorow.

It probably won't be a good crowd. It's Monday and basically all the students are already gone.

Hell I'm about as a big fan as we've got, and I'm leaving as soon as my last class finishes tomorrow

I still remember the Bama Hoops teams that would play just good enough to get ranked and then lose the very next game after being ranked. So I will be expecting a loss tomorrow.
