I think our next two opponents: Lehigh and FGCU won't provide much more insight. FGCU has taken a step back since Smesko left to coach the Dream.
Our second Thanksgiving weekend foe: Colorado State beat Gonzaga by 4 recently so they might be a better indication but the first game I'm really circling is the Dec. 3rd matchup against Tennessee. That will be the first of a tougher stretch in the month heading into conference play, to show how ready our freshmen are for top-line collegiate play and where we are as a team.
We've beaten the teams that we needed to beat, can we beat or at least be competitive with the ones who are more in the national conversation of good squads?
