RE: How many wins will it take to Be Cusa Champ?

[ALACOMBE]

Yeah, I wouldn't consider St. Louis a hard game, unless you think 
Arizona is any good ;-)  The league is good this year and I bet 
13-3 or 12-4 might be good enough.

Time will tell.  Let's hope that Dan Peters has created the 
perfect recipe for the season.  Bring on Tulane and the start of 
the CUSA year of the Cat (see the CUSA calendar, unlike the 
Chinese Calendar only has the Year of the Cat and every once in 
a while the year of something else ;-)  )
