Kinda....
This weekend we will face #16/18 Oklahoma State, #11 Tennessee, #6/12 Auburn. That will make 10 games, including Ok St and LSU twice each and one game against RV Mizzou, against ranked opponents. After this weekend we will have played 16 games. That is a tough schedule. As an avid fan I've always hope for a stellar OCC record because the pac 12 is such a gauntlet and having an above .500 overall record gives a chance at the post season.
This schedule is a definitely a bitter/sweet proposition.
For - great competition, recruiting possibilities, RPI, will be battled tested (please add more BN)
Against - could hurt our record to the point that we'd have to finish in the top 3 in the pac 12 to make the tourney.
I like what coach is doing and think it's great for the program but as a tourney hopeful it gives me angst.
And it does beg the question... Do I want the team to sneak in every year and go out quickly or do I want them to build a great team through tough competition giving them a better chance to go deeper but take a few years to materialize? Both :-)
