Official Season Predictions Thread
Here are my predictions for the season. I think I came pretty damn close last year.
Savannah State : W Western Carolina : W Coppin State : W Buffalo* : W Richmond or UAB* : W Iowa, Louisiana, South Dakota State or Wyoming* :W Alabama State: W @Xavier: W Florida* : L Missisippi State : W @UCLA: L Arkansas-Pine Bluff: W Cleveland State : W Memphis : W @Temple : W SMU : W @USF : W @UCF : L ECU : W Temple : W @Memphis : L Houston : W @UCONN : L UCF : W @SMU : L @Houston: W Wichita State : W UCONN : W Tulsa : W @Tulane : W @Wichita State : L 24-7 Summary: 24-7 feels like a drop off from last year but our conference is so much better. Even playing at NKU, I expect UC to protect home court and continue its 26 game win streak. I'm boldly predicting a victory at Cintas center. Cronin has never entered Cintas with this much offensive fire power. Lets punk them on the glass and face guard Blueitt all the way to victory. I expect UCF to hand us our first conference loss of the season. We just seem to play bad in Orlando. However if we hit some 3's, we can easily beat them. Were better. Just need to shoot well and get tacko in foul trouble. I'll also predict one upset loss and its to memphis, who we just can't seem to beat in Fedex forum. Another game where we massively out talent them but need to shoot well in that large NBA arena. I do think we split the series with UCONN. They will have a fire their belly to beat us and finally the talent to do it. I really wanted to pick UC to finish 26-5 but we have some tough stretches that just seem really tough to walk away with out some bruises. |

I think we are the best we've been under Cronin but we will not beat good teams away from home and some of the games I have us winning against easy teams away from home will not be easy wins. We do NOT play good on the road and you can not do that against ranked teams....

We played bad on the road last year...but I expect that to change in a significant way this year. It may happen that we can't score on the road but the odds go down when you have as many options to score as we do. If it weren't for Blueitt going off for 40 last year we absolutely CRUSH X. We could see a similar effect this year (to a different degree). Not all of our guys will be playing like shyte on the road...somebody will score out of our 5 starters. |
