I just noticed this. I wonder why they have such a gap in their schedule. And do you think this benefits them or us?
We have four more games until we play Gonzaga. They only have one game between now and then.
- Thread starter The Grand Poohbah
- Start date
Benefits us as long as we are healthy imo. Best to stay in rhythm and in a groove. More time to get a feel for each other as a team.
Conversely, that's LOTS of prep time for them to watch us and develop a game plan.
I'm not sure what the heck happened in that game they played against Baylor, but they haven't been as impressive since.
They are definitely blowing teams out, but they aren't top 10 teams like Baylor was and they absolutely ripped Baylor.
I know that final score is in the back of our minds, but that might be a case of Baylor just not showing up against a team that can really put it on ya if you aren't focused.
Pope will have his team ready for that one.

We will be a well oiled Big Blue Machine when we roll into Seattle!
Beware Zags Beware!!!

I get that. I just think that's overrated. Most coaches don't need that long to do that anyway.
I'm sure it will help them, just think us getting more reps as a team helps us more.
Zags have looked good, will be a challenge either way.
I think it helps us. Our football team always sucks after a week layoff. But then, they also suck when it's no layoff.
I think it helps both. We definitely need the game exp more than Gonzaga. But this gives Few a lot of extra time to prep for Pope. Should make for a pretty good game. Could come down to in-game coaching chess match. (And Few won't be as easily handled as Scheyer was)
They have 3 games until they play Kentucky. They are in Battle 4 Atlantis
The 27th they play WVU
THE 28th they face either IU or UofL
The 29th is just Battle for Atlantis
Then us on the 7th.
They do have more prep and down time.

They play Battle 4 Atlantis. They will play 3 games before facing UK.
They also are traveling a LONG way for that Tournament.

Pretty sure it was Alan Iverson that said that.
Oh, my bad. That didn’t show up when I looked at their schedule.
As a golfer I can tell you……..this applies.
I read that BYU had a pretty bad road record last year. I’m anxious to see how we do in road games .
I wouldn't put too much stock into that.
The Big12 was tough last year. They were bound to lose a bunch of road games when they had to go on the road and face Baylor, Kansas, Iowa St etc.
2009-2010 won its first road game at IU. Not including them in Cals top 5 UK teams is a bit bizarre. I agree with the post otherwise.
This. That team should've been a FF team. But we went cold and WV couldn't miss from 3. Ugh pisses me off. And then in true post-UK loss fashion, WV got the brakes beat off them.
We're a tough team to prepare for so giving them like 2 weeks to prepare , yeah i doubt we win that game. I just hope we win the first true road game against Clemson.
They're playing other games between then.
They play WV next Wed the 27th.
Then either IU/UofL the 28th
And then another team the 29th.
All of those games are the Battle 4 Atlantis.
So they have 3 games and we have 4. They have a week off before they face us.
This teams having fun. I feel like playing more is only gonna help them. I'm hyped for the Zags game. I have a brand new feeling going into these ranked games. Trusting the system is a nice feeling
