Respectfully, I disagree with FieldGoodie and 62. I don't think it benefits the team to have a contested game against an inferior opponent. In looking at UCR's wins and losses, it seems that we should consider them significantly inferior. Would we say that it's better for the team to have a contested game against a parks and rec league team? No. So, while we do want contested games, we don't want contested games when it should be a blowout wire-to-wire.
Maybe what you're saying is that you hope that UCR plays its best game of the year against Valpo, so that the game is marginally contested. I guess that I would want that too, so long as it ends in a win.
