Will We Lose a Home Game?

We have yet to lose a home game, so my question is, will we?

Yes, I am this bored.

We very well could go undefeated at home but we do have conference play so I would not be surprised if we did lose a game at home.

My thoughts are we will drop 1 or 2, since we host UNC-A and Winthrop, one after the other. Might be a couple of L's, but we could win, as well. I think we are playing well enough to hang with the BSC, but if we hit a cold patch and can't shoot, then we could lose to anyone, really.

Yes, we could lose to anyone, but I expect us to only lose to Winthrop at home, if that.

I think we'll lose a couple. We're going to lose games we shouldn't and win games we shouldn't, and I think some of those will be at home.

I'll go on record as to saying we will only lose one conference home game.

That's what I was thinking, those are the true tests.

I think we can beat Winthrop. Not saying we will, but I honestly think we can beat them.

VMI, CSU, and HPU are going to be tough home games as well. Radford and Coastal should be wins, but any of the other five conference games wouldn't surprise me if we won or lost.

I don't think it is that unreasonable.

I think you are sippin' on your "We are what we have always been :koolaid" aka, haterade.

Things have changed, that is all Sch14teen will allow me to say.

Hahaha, if we lose more than 2 I will be very surprised.

To go through Big South play with only one loss at home this year will be absolutely amazing and is going to be extremely difficult. It's possible, but difficult.

I don't think Rocketfan is sipping on any type of Haterade. He's sipping on realistic thoughts.

I've seen this team play more than anyone on this board besides Manger. I think we can win every single game we play. However, I also know that we have these little 4-minute droughts that could cost us the game against anyone.

That actually reminds me, what is he up to these days? I was with SJ at the game Saturday afternoon and I didnt see him behind the bench

He was taping the game. Different managers tape different games.

That's what I had said in my first post in this thread, or one of my first. This team, when it's on, can hang with anyone.

When it's cold, look out.

that's true of pretty much every NCAA team.

The thing is, Winthrop is the exact same way, and their fans (the rational ones) will say the same thing. They get very little bench production and have 3 players doing most of the scoring. Sound familiar?

I know we are capable of winning any game or losing any game, but I'm still sticking to my statement.

Definitely yes.
