Burro, you're not witty enough to troll. It's just not that amusing.
Marquette was a good win, forgot about that one. Point stands, we will be like 8-9 point underdogs with a +400 (20%) shot to win most likely.
Rocky start, but we overcame some adversity last year too.
I wonder if Zonads knee set him back a lot and he's still playing his way back into shape? 11/25/2012 6:35:36 PM |

On the whole "last road win against a good non-conference team," Duke's last one was in 08 (Purdue) & UNC's was in 07 (Kentucky)

We had several quality wins but this is where everyone was mistaking (including the voters). We only beat 1 really good team all year.11/25/2012 6:45:29 PM |

right. not saying they are easy to get. Just that we NEVER win them and that goes back 15 years. Hell, I'm not even counting the Les years because those years don't really count in my book. 11/25/2012 7:10:08 PM |

Lets lose this, get out of the Top 25, look hungry for the ACC season, and hopefully win the ACC tourney. And then our seniors(and CJ,Zo) make sure we have a good NCAA run...
Lets grow organically, the preseason ranking did its job, helped us in recruiting, lets build for the years ahead! Losing the next game, or not winning the ACC this season is no big disappointment... 11/26/2012 3:34:49 PM |

at the beginning of the season, I thought we had a very good chance to win this game but I never would have said, "there is no way we lose this game." we could still win this game if we actually play to our potential for once. 11/26/2012 5:50:56 PM |

Remember that time we hired a new coach, struggled a bit, and then finished the season strong and had a game where we almost beat unc to win the acc tournament and then returned almost everybody and brought in a great recruiting class and preseason ranking of 16 only to lose a game early before going on the road to play a great team in the acc big10 challenge only to get blown out by 30 and go on to have an awful season? 11/27/2012 3:08:14 AM |

I think the team is better than they've played, but I'm not confident they've improved enough in 3 days to lose by less than 15. Can't believe the spread is that close. 11/27/2012 8:07:59 AM |

Haha, Michigan really only favored by 6.5? I'd take that all day. I see an 18-20 point loss. I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't know if Gott can turn around these attitudes so quickly, and this isn't the game to bench people to prove a point like he did last year. 11/27/2012 8:28:42 AM |

The spread is crazy low for sure. I just want to see us improve and play a somewhat competitive game. Of course, we've looked like hot garbage the last couple of games, so that's not that hard. I see us losing by 12-15, but would love to see it more in the 4-8 range. 11/27/2012 8:42:11 AM |
