I think this is stating the obvious, but MU's upcoming 3 game stretch is HUGE.  As many had stated before, the stretch of ND, @ Louisville, @ UConn was also big, but the Warriors didn't have the best showing during that period by going only 1-2 after routing ND in the "opener."

So, how do you think they will fair this time?  I believe they will win at Cincy and then steal one against either Louis. or @ ND; games I feel will be equal tests for the team, based on the previous matchups this year.

Looking at Cincy right now, I'd say 0-3.

The best scenario: 1-2.

I realize that the team is looking pretty ugly right now but no need to jump off a bridge.  We have our ups and we have our downs.  That being said I say we go 2-1 and at worst 1-2. 

Not jumping off the bridge, but I don't see our shooting woes solved overnight. Shooting needs confidence, and confidence needs more than just one win to build itself back up.

I think the Cincy game is the ONLY game we could win.

But looking at Cincy dismantle WVU AT West Virginia, what's the excuse if we lose? People said losing to WVU, UConn, UL, etc. was okay since we lost to one of college basketball's elite coaches at tough places to play. Are we ready to say we lost to an up-and-coming coach in what used to be a tought place to play?

0-3. I'll be happy to eat my words if they prove me wrong. I'll he shaking my head buried in my hands if they prove me right.

I think we have a solid shot to go 2-1.

Cincy:  They are not a good offensive team;  they are poor at getting offensive boards (one of our weaknesses);  they don't have a lot of great bigs.  They are good defensively but not great.  They don't force turnovers and let teams shoot okay from the field.  I like our chances in this game.

Louisville:  Pitino knows the formula for success against us:  zone with a lot of big man play.  This will be a dogfight.  I like the rivalry factor here.  I think the game will be close either way.  We just need a good last five minutes of the game.

Notre Dame:  I think this is a loss.  Kurz and Harangody will be tough to deal with and McAlarney is not going to have a bad game like he did last time.  Add the homecourt advantage, and this is probably a loss.

I stick by it... 2-1.

I think a win at cinci would do this team wonders!  I say 2-1!

Cincy will be tough, they have won some impressive games and lost some questionable ones. Since its in Cincy and MU cant shoot, this goes to Cincy.  Louisville will be an embarrassment again.  ND is a win.  1-2.
