Ball State took them down 66-61 in Muncie tonight. I think they'll be our biggest test thus-far, but we'll still be double-digit favorites.

Looks like they were picked middle of the pack in the SoCon preseason poll.

I'm not expecting much out of Ball State this year, so I would expect another double digit win on Sunday.

Is it just me or do we play Wofford a lot? Hoops, football...wonder if there's some sort of connection there.

Here's to another big one!

They have a guy named Indiana Faithfull, who, of course, is from Australia.

I hope we keep holding our opponents to right around 50 points.  With 15 minutes to play yesterday I was starting to think we might keep UNCW under 40.  82-50 is my guess for tomorrow.

Put together the dirt sheet on Wofford for the O Zone... They aren't an exciting bunch.  Going to need to rely on the fact that Indiana Faithfull is named Indiana Faithfull......

I'll bet he hates snakes, too.

Their only win is vs. an NAIA school.

These guys lost  by 15 at Colorado-which is a very good team(beat #18 Baylor on a neutral floor).  It will not be a blow out-we win by 9.  Now if it is a blowout and I'm wrong, I will be even more optimistic about this team.

"The Dingo ate my baby," echoed in the convo today.

This is the best team we have played by far.  They had descent basic basketball skills.

I like how our coach will press in the first half to get things going.

While good shooting can come and go, elite defense is something that stays around pretty consistently.  We are good enough to beat teams by a lot at less than 100%

Agree. What I liked about the game was even though the team was really having fun, they didn't let it get in the way of intense 40 minutes of defense. Even coach had a few smiles with the players late in the game.

Xavier must need to fire their coach or something.
