Would you include Carleton, Cal, Iowa or Texas, at Michigan, St. John's, at Villanova patsies?  I count 7 possible cream puffs.  Those six games I just referenced are going to be tough games.  This years team could easily have 3 or 4 losses before January 3rd!  Who would have thought St. Francis Brooklyn last year would have been such a tough game!  I think every game is going to be a tough game.  You never know when some 2 or 3 star player is going to have the game of his life.

That said, don't misinterpret what I am saying as negative.  For this season with this team the record is not as important has how many people they can get consistently contributing on offense.   And can the defense shut it down and make fast break points off of turnovers.  I am more interested in the team's overall development heading into the NCAA tournament.  My only concern and fear is if our record puts us in the bubble team category.  That would suck.  I would like to see a solid record and a 4th or 5th seed in the NCAA tournament but the team playing its best offense and defense at the end of the season.  That would be my ideal for this season.  Somewhere right in the middle.  Not too great, not too bad, but playing their best basketball at the end of the season instead of the beginning.
