Guilbeau is going to have to be the guy we'd thought he'd be his whole career (or the guy he was in the regional last year), and Bramblett will have to continue the run he had coming out of nowhere at the end of last season if we're going to have any chance at all of meeting some of the lofty expectations others have heaped on this team.
As for this weekend, I suppose it'll be a good warmup for the rest of the season. But these are just 3 of 9 games we're playing against the MEAC or SWAC and those are typically RPI killers. Hopefully it doesn't hurt us. At one point in April of last season though our RPI would've been 8 spots higher if we hadn't played a series with Alcorn St. And we swept that series.
