Some things that probably need to happen if we are going to do this... Win 3 out of 5 games (or more) between WSU, X, Florida, and UCLA. Win the conference regular season title or the tourney and finish no less than 2nd in either. AAC has to make a push to be in the top 6 conferences RPI. No more than 5 losses. |

My concern for this year is defense. And mainly will Mick still employ his usual crazy switching zone defense or go more to a man to man approach. This team is built to run and be more up and down and man to man. But we all know Mick likes half court strategies, especially on defense. I just don't think we have the makeup this year to run his usual defense. So again, I wonder how stubborn Mick will be with his defensive approach. If he's trying to win games 70-55 and slow the game down, I think we're limiting our strengths. Obviously as in any year well have to see how the season plays out. Mick has more than shown he'll get the most of his team with less talent so let's hope more talent just means we're that much better.

Also curious to see the playing time and usage of Jenifer and Broome. Broome is an unknown. He can score playground style but will Mick let him do that? Also how good really is he at utilizing his teammates, setting them up to score? I'm actually curious to see Jenifer in an open, fast offense. His passing skills could be exactly what we need with as many scoring options as this team has

Anyone have any last minute changes?
I'm going to hold firm at 27-4. |

I'm getting on board with the Cumberland leading scorer crowd. In his interview with Dan, he said he wishes he would've been more aggressive earlier in the year. I think the way he came on late was just scratching the surface. He's going to have games where he goes nuts. And his teammates will be happy to let him. 11-15 is pretty damn good, even in an exhibition. He's showing maturity by starting to take being in great physical condition seriously. Big things are coming for him. No team in the country wants to face us in the tournament if he's rolling.

26 and 5 regular season seems right to me.

Yup, I think 5 losses at the end of the regular season. We've got the 5 toughest matchups against X, Florida, UCLA, and Wichita St x2. Dropping 2-3 of those wouldn't be shocking, and then we'll probably drop another 2-3 via tough road conference games or an off night.

Key word, were. This is a different team. And I'm gonna guess caupain and Johnson skewed those numbers the wrong direction.
