[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 667148, member: 2299"] It sucks to lose Jose for so long but the two games we've lost have been by a combined 5 points to P5 teams. Yes the UGA game wasn't as close as the final score but until 5 minutes left in the first quarter it was an even game. UGA largely built their lead over the next 5 minutes. The second half was pretty even most of the way. They would go on a run, then we would go on a run and that continued pretty much the entire way. We were down 8 at half, 9 at 17:35, 10 at 5:12, 9 at 2:20 (even before our flurry at the end). The point is that the UGA game was largely decided in one 5 minute stretch, and otherwise it was pretty even game before and after that stretch. Our schedule going forward is Nebraska Cuse @Kentucky Ball State Boise @ Hawaii Houston/Portland Probably Washington if we win the last 2 With the exception of @Kentucky and possibly Washington we should have a good chance to win the rest of those games even without Jose imo. One thing to note about Washington is that 2 of their top 3 scorers are freshmen and they don't seem to be an overly good 3 point shooting team (30% as a team) with only one real threat by the looks of it. Matchup wise I could see that being a good matchup for us with Banks altering shots inside and our zone defense making them settle more than they would like. Now, without Jose we're also fully capable of losing several of those games as well so there is still some concern but I think it's a very real possibility that we could be 8-4 or even 9-3 and 2-0 in conference play when Jose gets back. That's not a bad place to be especially since we play a fairly challenging schedule. To put it in perspective, our current RPI is 65th while UGA's is 94th. Obviously early season RPI should be taken with more than a grain of salt but considering only Ball state would be considered a bad team (where just playing them probably hurts) at the moment, our RPI would probably be pretty good if we were 8-4 going into the FSU game. Basically the season is far from over, and even considering Jose being out, we have a pretty good chance, imo, to start conference play at a decent spot. [/QUOTE]
