Jax St is 9-0 at home this season. We’re 4-4 on the road. Huge game and opportunity for the team to gain some confidence.
I like our chances if Mostafa gets to play. Without him it could get ugly. We’ve got to try and limit Jaron Pierre Jr from shooting. He is one of the best guards in the country for scoring and dropped 22 on us last go around.

Haven't played decent since the loss at LA Tech. We look lethargic again tonight. What's going on with this team?
If they keep hitting wide open threes like they did the first half we will lose by 25 plus.

Our position in the standings may have been fools gold. We've only won two away conference games against the worst teams in the conference in Sam Houston and FIU. Our schedule was frontlloaded with all the easy games. I don't see us winning another away game and will likely lose a few more home games.
Or maybe this is just a really good mid-major conference where road wins are very hard to come by? We beat Jax St. 81-64 at home. Hard to beat any team on the road shooting 60% from 3. Coming in we were 4th in nation is 3 pt. defense. This is an anomaly.

Look at the standings and the schedule and you will see what I'm talking about.
Them being wide open all night definitely contributed to their 60%. We've been playing lazy bad defense since the LA Tech game.
