Before we talk about the road ahead, let’s put a bow on the Seton Hall game. Unfortunately, I did not get to see the game last night, as I had a basketball game of my own, although I did listen to the second half on the radio. Since I missed the Cats in action, I resorted to a bevy of internet sites to get me caught up on Nova hoops. Below are some of the things I delved into.

9 Big East regular season games down, 9 to go. A perfect start in conference has everyone salivating about what this team could accomplish, but as we all know by now, the second half of the schedule is much tougher than the first. I never like to look too far ahead, much like the Cats always seem to focus on the “next game,” so I’ll only take a quick glance at a very important game in a few weeks. The showdown with Syracuse should be a doozy, and the hype is already starting, as the Carrier Dome is sold out and an attendance record will be broken in the process. But…
Again, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, because over a 2 and a half day span this weekend into next week, Villanova will play road games against #7 Georgetown and #6 West Virginia. As I ask in the title, is a loss on the horizon? In my opinion (and I think I may take some heat about this from you Cat fans), I would be very content to come out of these next 2 games at 1-1. Could the Cats win both? Sure. Could they lose both? Easily. In the end, coming out of this 2 game stretch with a win and a loss would be solid. I want to hear what you think, though; would you be ok with 1-1 come Tuesday morning or is 2-0 the only option?

1-1 is what I’m hoping for. I really do think we lose 1 of these games if not both.
And if we do lose both, no reason to panic. We may the only team in the country which has to play 2 Top 10 opponents ON THE ROAD in the span of 3 days.
