Next 8 days of ISU hoops

Providence, Rice, UNI, Michigan.

This is a HUGE stretch for us. We MUST hit 2-2, hopefully somehow we can manage 3-1. Going into Michigan with 5 straight wins would be really nice.

We have to progress a LOT this week. I think we will know a lot more about the future of this team in the very near future.

2-2 ain't gonna do it. Mich. is only acceptable loss.

Have you watched any of our games this year?

2-2 would be disappointing

Something tells me these guys will step up against better competition. Just wait till Royce faces another down low force. it should light the fire all of us have been waiting to see. I think once these guys decide that defense wins games and play with that same force, very few teams will beat them.

Did you watch the ISU vs. Mizzou football game?

Checkmate.

No way is losing to Providence, Rice, or UNI acceptable. Therefore anything worse than 3-1 is unacceptable. In my opinion, we can make up for the Drake loss by beating Michigan.

We will know a lot about the rest of the season within two weeks.

**Tredici** · 11-25-2011, 10:21 AM

Hoping for 3-1 with a loss at Michigan. However, I think we will know if we lose to Providence tonight that we will go at best 2-2 or less likely 1-3

Anything besides 4-0 is unacceptable! Have to come out of non conference with only 1 loss

Or?

either way it will be great on this site. We win? great. We lose....the meltdown will be epic and popcorn worthy.

I join those in the 3-1 is minimum boat.

Have a gut feeling Providence will be a close loss. So an upset at U-M would be necessary.

Cannot lose to Rice or UNI.

You're hoping we lose to Michigan?

I agree that we should go 3-1 over these games. But what "unacceptable" about losing two? What are you going to do, give up on the team? It's just a strange word to use.
