If we win against Pitt (I think we can) then our next 8 games should all be wins. At 10-2 with a win over a ranked team and the performance we just put on I would think we will be ranked.
Not if we always turn out to be the "close but no cigar" team in these games. We've got to win most of these games, not just be competitive, to be a ranked team.
We've got another great chance to make some noise Dec. 3 vs. Pitt. And it may not get much attention, but a road win at Oakland before then wouldn't be too shabby either.
After Pitt, the schedule is fairly light until the rematch in Memphis Jan. 4.
It is hard to believe how much better these guys look. Hopson should have hung around. Coach would have made him good enough to possibly make it to the NBA.
