Butler 'bout to steal our thunder

We got this.

We got this.

Damn - beat me by two minutes, RC!

Like Nova, we are also coming off a gut wrenching loss.  Who says they aren't in trouble too? 

We can win this one!

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

But TAMU told me Butler wasn't any good! (just kidding)

Nah. Just said I wasn't sold on them being a top 15 team. Tonight helps get me there though, solid defensive effort.

I understand the thought of wanting us to be Nova's trap game, but I feel like there are just as many examples of good teams losing unexpectedly and then losing the next game as well because they've lost confidence.

On paper, we don't have much of a shot...but that's why they play the game on the court. Nova is walking an even thinner line than we are. They only have seven players available (unless Bridges gets healthy). An off game here, foul trouble there, and all of the sudden Nova has a two game losing streak. Lets sic em

Ya, but.  Where are our number crunchers?   What say you about home teams getting into foul trouble?
Ranked teams losing at home?   I know one statistic, number one team fans never storm the court.

I do think we can beat 'Nova this year, but like our chances better in about 3 weeks when they come to the BC with the students back and a showdown with Virginia on the horizon.
