It goes without saying that the Buffs must win all 4 of their out of conference home games. 3 of 4 conference games are on the road, 2 against bottom feeders Washington and California. The Buffs need to go 7-1 in December. They might be able to survive a 6-2 month, which would either put them at 11-4 or 10-5 with 16 games to go. None of the December games will help the Buffs SOS. If the Buffs manage to go at least 9-7 on the remaining16, that would put them at 20-11 headed into the Pac12 tournament. For me, 20-11 may be good enough to get into The Dance.

Like last year, our SOS may have an adverse affect on the Buffs NET ranking, so as you get in the 10-13 loss range, it gets very dicey.

The bottom 4 in the Pac are just horrible and both Stanford and USC are struggling out of the gate.

I am hoping that Boyle will get a bit more consistent with his rotations. He sure seems hell bent on playing 10.

Let's get a good crowd tomorrow night Buff fans! 7000+ would be nice!
