Hey beat UofA, I guess the team would be a lock for the tournament. Since it looks like Dawkins job is now secure in the eyes of Muir, it would be nice to get a signature win that could also give a boost to recruiting.
Also in fairness, I think these Wednesday games are really hard on the road team. As I understand things, most Pac-12 teams are flying in for the Wednesday game and then going back home to complete the week. Then returning back to compete against the other member of the pair on the weekend. That seems like a lot of travel. I can't help but wonder what the "weekend" record is for the road teams that play Wednesday and then Sat/Sun. I could imagine that many have gone 0-2.
The football games at 7PM may be a bit hard on the fans, but the new basketball schedule seems too hard on the student-athletes.
