I think most look at Marquette at home as a revenge game. The people on ESPN think we're going down in that one, but I think we will win in a tough game. Then, you would suggest that at Nova would be the next game, especially coming off Marquette, but Villanova just hasn't looked that good this year. They're barely above .500. I wonder if Jay Wright is losing his team...

I think the game we go down is Pitt. I hate to say it, but they look like another typical Pitt team. They aren't fast but they're efficient on offense. They had excellent interior passing. They have a couple guys who can hit the 3 on kick outs against the zone. They rebound well and they're deep.

They looked like they could be pressed, but Woodall was out. This and UConn are the two teams that I would want to play a few minutes of man-to-man defense this year, if they started to get into a groove offensively against the zone. And I think we will press these teams this year, although UConn with 3 guards, it might make you pause..

So that makes my prediction 9 games as number 1 - and I hope they prove me wrong against Pitt.  That would be to January 16.
