We're 16 days from the start of the season, only 12 days from seeing the team in action. I can't contain my excitement any longer, so I figured we might as well get the conversation started. No need to talk about the conference slate just yet, but let's look at the noncon. The schedule is: Southern Valpo UNO Tulane Kent ST @Wake USC Creighton @Oregon Jacksonville ST Central Michigan (Sun Bowl Invite - El Paso, TX) UTEP/Ark. Pine Bluff (Sun Bowl Invite - El Paso, TX) Nicholls ST We all know this has been deemed a "throw-away" season by the fans, but there is still some talent on the floor. The problem will be depth and the experience of what little depth is there. I think the 3 seniors (Ubel, AA, Talley) provide enough talent/experience/leadership to pull this team through the noncon fairly well. Maybe a slip up game in those first 5 against maybe a Valpo, but hopefully it results in a close game, not a loss. My rose colored glasses say they'll go 2-2 in the Wake-Oregon stretch, although 1-3 far more likely and possibly 0-4. They should win the remaining 4, but again could have a slip up. I really want to say 9-4, for now I'm going to go with 8-5, but reserve the right to increase the win total if the young guys look like they're ready to play.
