I kinda miss Prop for situations like this. Dayton would be "other", right? [Edit 2-6...what a stupid notion, in view of the smails/Prop revelations.}

I am assuming that you mean biggest as in "most important", and that is clearly St.Joe at this point. We play them twice, RPI on the uptick. Dayton, but for its injury dilemma, would be a better choice.

Most important, yes, but because of space on the headline it turned into biggest.

I am looking for an overall opponent. One that might beat us out(I didn't say that out loud), one that helps our position in the NCAA if we beat them, One that is the toughest game on the schedule....anyone and other reasons to call them the biggest or most important.

St Joe's by a runaway. We play them twice. Both games (home and away) are usually competitive with both winning at the other's place. Both are in the tourney on a regular basis. Both have respectable RPI year in and year out.

Do we ever play well in Philly? We have lost to all three teams in the past and Hawk Hill will be be no exception next month. We must beat them Sunday or else we give them the upper hand.

TEMPLE has the best shot at matching us at 11-5. debate?

The next one.

No, I don't specifically mean Charlotte. No matter which team XU is playing, that's the biggest opponent. Everyone is gunning for us and, if we look beyond the next opponent, we'll get smoked.
