Subject: Studying the OCC schedule

Assuming we start with Bluefield State, I think we win the first four games with Bluefield, at RMU, at Bowling Green,and UMBC. The next three are road games at Pitt, at PSU and at Green Bay, and then WVU at the Consol. This is the hardest stretch. Optimistic guy that I am, I think we can win all three road games but to be realistic maybe we win one. I would be very surprised if we were able to beat WVU as they are loaded. Got to pencil that one in the L column. Although there could be a surprise with the balance of the OCC, I think we can run the table against IUPUI, George Mason, Northwestern State, Northfolk State, and at Houston Baptist. Therefore my best guess is that we will be 10-3 in the non coference, although it could be 9-4. Any other thoughts?

I think you are being pretty optimistic, but maybe it's just me. I am pretty dissapointed that the WVU game is at Consol as I think we may have had a chance in A,J. If we are 10-3 I would be pretty estatic. After all, we seem to lose one or two stupid non conference games a year. (NT) -- Simms, Thursday, September 09, 01:07:26pm
- Honestly Slim, I don't think AJ would make much of a difference againts WVU. Just my opinion. They were a final four team last year, and I think they are just as strong this year. But who knows? (NT) -- CLK, Thursday, September 09, 01:20:30pm
  - didnt WVU lose some talent, like their 2-3 best players? If so, we can hang with them, and I think the COnsol will be pretty full that game with pittsburghers checking out the place. We can beat them. (NT) -- Seen on Miltenberger St, Thursday, September 09, 02:34:50pm
    - I think one former player was crushed to death by Thuggins during a tender on-court moment that otherwise would have rivaled Madonna and Brittney Spears. (NT) -- El Duque, Thursday, September 09, 03:48:39pm
    - From your typing fingers to God's ears, but IMO they are going to be the toughest team on our schedule. I will be surprised if they are not in the preseason top 10. (NT) -- CLK, Thursday, September 09, 04:09:24pm
  - Actually, I am Slim, he's Simms ;-)...and I would have been shocked and disappointed if the WVU game had been at AJP...the Consol is the correct venue. (NT) -- Slim, Thursday, September 09, 03:36:02pm
    - Sorry Slim, (NT) -- CKL make that CLK, Thursday, September 09, 04:00:30pm
Personally CLK, I think Bowling Green is going to set the stage for the season, much like Drake and Iowa did in years past. On paper Duquesne is far more talented but they are big and like to slow the game down. -- TMH, Thursday, September 09, 02:10:38pm
- Everyone is going to try to slow us down and play zone like last year. Hopefully wioth our improved depth at guard (and better shooting) we can better control the tempo this year. We will see. (NT) -- CLK, Thursday, September 09, 04:04:38pm
OK I'll bite. Put me down for 9-4. I would not be shocked if DU was 10-3 or 8-5. Too many unknowns at this point. Road games are usually a tough place to win for DU. Generally speaking, a lackluster listing of opponents other than Pitt and WVU . The majority of the other opponents generate little if any buzz.

12-1, only loss at RMU. (NT) -- Seen on Miltenberger St, Thursday, September 09, 04:46:02pm
I predict that in a few years Bluefield St. will be as well known as Boise St. GO DUKES! (NT) -- DuqOfEarl, Thursday, September 09, 05:15:07pm
