Honestly, I'm not EXPECTING a win in either of those contests. I am however, expecting us to not just mail it in. I don't think a loss to either of those teams is a "step back" as some here continue to mention. Those teams are expected to be the top of the league this year, we are not. The only way I'd be disappointed is if we have a game similar to how we played Howard.

IMO, this team is getting better. There are starting to be a lot more signs of improvement and consistency. That's great, but it shouldn't change our expectations of the season to the point where if we don't get W's all of a sudden we're all back to "Chicken Little" mode that some folks are stuck in.

Let the freaking season play out. Let the guys play. Let the positives be positives and the negatives be negatives. There will be PLENTY of time after the season is finished to discuss program direction, etc.

I think one of the things that really allowed our guys to succeed at Elon was the fact they are playing with house money this year. It's clear this year that we aren't last year's Seahawks. Elon had all the pressure on them in that game, playing at home and being the favorite. The 'Hawks are in territory they haven't been at in a few years, they're the underdog in almost every matchup. I don't believe expecting a win at home against a very solid Towson team or on the road at Charleston is healthy for our state of mind as a fan base or for the team.

I don't think losing is necessarily a step back( i gave credit for a loss last night), getting blasted by 30 would be.

I agree. I also firmly believe this team has put those types of losses behind them and are competing well in conference so far. A lot of that will depend on the style of offense run by our opponents. If they run a high tempo offense, there’s always that chance. If it’s a slower pace offense like Elon or NU, we have a chance for sure due to a lesser amount of shots their offense is taking this less defense from us.
