I couldn't believe how disinterested I was in the final score.

It's not that I don't care, I'm just new to not being concerned about the score. I've been steeling myself to be ready for a long season. Final record doesn't matter. Hopefully we can win enough games that it doesn't look embarrassing - 9-22 and 8-24 were not fun.

Thankfully, the schedule is built in a way that should make a record like those very reachable.

We have some games that are as close to sure wins as possible:

MSOE
Jacksonville
Montana State
Western Illinois

And that's just in the non-conference. As tough as our season looks, we may not even be the worst team in the Horizon League - Detroit dropped both non-D-I exhibition games, albeit because a couple key players didn't play in one or both of the contests.

Knowing that Jeremy Johnson and Brock Stull led the team in scoring gives me a good feeling.
