Really tough stretch coming up...

in the non conference slate. We will find out a lot more about this team very soon. Next we have a good Green Bay team, finished last year with an RPI rank of #23, picked to win their conference again. They are 0-2 this year but that's misleading. They lost to Northwestern 57-55, and NW crushed then #21 Duke by 26 points. Then led #15 DePaul going into the 4th quarter, on the road, before falling 73-64. We need to execute a lot better than last night to beat them. They are good.

Then we have a really tough tournament in Florida starting a week from Friday. First up is a really good Michigan team with an excellent post player, will be interesting to see how this lineup handles that. Then if we get past Michigan, we will likely face #11 Texas, who plays Quinippiac in the first round. And on the other side of the bracket is Duke. Then after we get back from Florida we hit the road against a good West Virginia team.
