So, I took a long look for the first time at our of conference schedule. While I truly believe that it will take some time for this unit to really gel, I actually think we were smart to put off our first true test until Iowa. @UNC Greensboro, followed by 3 straight home games against St. Francis, Yale and Grambling St. isn't really going to press us.
Iowa will be the toughest team we will face up until that point, but I don't see them as a real challenge. Memphis or Providence will be a bigger challenge, but I still see Uva beating Providence by 6 in the finals.
Home against WVU is the second toughest game of the OOC schedule. At this point, I would put UVA's chances at 60% (who am I kidding, we NEVER lose at JPJ).
@Cal is by far the toughest game on our schedule. Ivan Rabb is a beast. Period. He put up 9-12 against us last year and we were DAMN lucky to win that game. If we were to play the game in March, I'll take UVA all day long, but we're playing them before Christmas and I don't think we'll be everything we will be by then.
My OOC prediction is 10-1.
