3 sneaky big games this upcoming season

Guys, be gentle here...I am a football guy first who is crossover dribbling into a little hoops coverage... :)

I'm not sure how the Nova and UNC games would be categorized as "sneaky."

I would consider a sneaky game something like Drexel or that Atlantis opener vs. VCU.

That's fair. I just think that all of the air is being sucked out of the discussion by Duke.

My ultimate point is...these games I believe are are bigger than the the buzz that is currently around them. Nova is not just about beating a big team...its about winning a game in NYC.
 
Results for the Battle of Atlantis might make or break us if we're on the bubble again. Tons of opportunities for Q1/2 wins on a neutral.
 
I really enjoy your writing. I haven’t looked at the schedule that closely, and so didn’t realize that we play at Carolina two days after Duke. Gah! I enjoyed your irony when stating that UNC is also playing two days after an “away game,” in RALEIGH. Ha!

Here’s a possibility. Both teams will be overlooking playing us because they will be completely focused on playing each other for the last game of the season. We are ants to these behemoths, so maybe they will be overlooking us. Now, I do regard that as unlikely, but the unconscious can often play tricks with conscious intent!

Thanks.

Yeah I mean I even acknowledge a game against UNC is never “sneaky” but I just think it’s going to get swallowed by by that behemoth 2 days earlier.

Sorry I didn’t realize you wrote the article when I responded. Now I feel like a douche. :)
 
Pretty well written, and as I haven't really looked at the schedule much you made a great point on the GT game. Adjustments are a natural progression throughout the season, but this break gives the team a chance to actually practice the changes without worrying about studying the next opponent right away.
 
VCU will be a test...a defensive team that presses full court and we're playing them on their home court.
