That groundhog whose name I cant spell says 6 more weeks of winter.
No ifs about this: there are only 4 weeks of league play left until the tournament.
Huge benefit for garnering a #1 or #2 tournament seed position and that is you get a day of rest on the proverbial day of rest (Sunday).
I think we have a very favorable schedule going forward. Win these 2 on the road, come home and win those 2 (including upset of ORU), I like our chances to stay in the 2 spot even with a loss in the final 3 on the road to end the season.

I hope to have a Neural Network stat-based prediction for this one ready by tip time.  Stay tuned.

Another tough 1st half.  Denver playing inspired basketball.  We not so much.
Down 41-22.  Comebacks on the road are little more difficult to say the least.

Not a lot went right for us.  They shot well, we did not.  When the shots are not falling, you have to get it done on the defensive end.  We did not match up with their size well.  I would not want to open up the tournament by playing this team.  They are an up and comer it looks like to me.

Seemed a bit flat from the beginning. Use it to build on and forget it. Would be nice to pick up a few road wins and stay near the top of the conference come tournament time.
