Big must win game against UAB coming up

What makes this a 'must win' exactly?
So if we lose should we just not play the other 25 games + tourney this year?

UAB is #92 in KenPom, so certainly it would be nice to get this road win.... ;)
If we lose we will never win another game

Its a must-win due to the Kenpom ranking. I also thing it would be a good morale booster for arguably the bigger game against Princton.

A must-win literraly means 'must win' lol, if this was a SoCon tourney game then that phrase would ring true, but not really on game #6 of the season where we will be a road underdog...

But if you think its that important to our season then ok...

If Hughey and Williams are 100% we have a decent chance. If not chances go way down. Espn gives us a 28% chance.

FWIW UAB had Clempson beat until the refs gave CU 2 free throws with 4 seconds left. It’s 2:40 in the morning and I am watching future opponrnt Tulane playing California live. Crazy huh? Gotta love this time of year if you are a college basketball fan.

If we can get healthy and start hitting 3's at a better clip we can steal a road game or two...
