Alright, little less optimism than I expected. Maybe because we underachieved last year (tournament), idk.. seems like a lot of people are going with 5-7 losses. That sounds like worst case scenario to me. Would like to find my guess from last year but that's a lot of digging although I may look anyway. If I remember correctly I guessed perfect the second half of the season and was one game of the whole year. This year we know we've got a couple tough OCC games. Xavier, FL, UCLA and Iowa who's probably gonna be better than people think. But still shouldn't be a problem for our team, just to athletic for them. I think we 3-1 those 4 games. And honestly despite what one person said, no team is just flat out better than us this year. We have great play at every position and the deepest bench we've had in recent memory. I think we split Wichita state, and stumble once or twice, possibly to UCF, maybe SMU. Teams just have off nights and we will get caught by someone even if we are that much better. That being said, I put this as a best case 2/3 loss team, worst case 5. But if I had to guess a specific number I'm gonna say 27-4 just to be safe. And a number 2 seed in the tourney if we win conference tourney, 3/4 if we lose.

Just joining the party...
Prediction is 28-3 with losses against Florida, @UCF, and @WSU. Xavier is a toss up and I think there is a possibility to drop one to SMU but I just see Cincy and WSU wiping the floor this year in the American. Too much depth and scoring. |

Yes Cincyfan I love it. I really think 28-3 is very possible for this team, I don't even consider it a reach. I played it safe with 27-4 but I was right there hoping between 3-4 losses lol.

How could you have ever thought we were losing 7 games lol. Yeah we play some better teams but we are gonna be so much better than last year not sure why you'd think our wins would regress lol. Have some faith we got this. But record is just a record, I know our will be good this year. What I want is some wins in the tournament. We have a real chance of getting a top for seed this year even a 2/3 seed seems fairly likely at this point. We aren't gonna have that tough second round game as usual. This team needs to make a run to become relevant again. We are already starting to see this program reachi ng new heights every year. And mick is young, he can make thi s go on for a long long time. Just gotta keep getting better. Anyway, to me anything less than elite 8 this year is a disappointment.

I mean I predicted we’d have 2 losses In non conference and we did. Winning on the road in this conference won’t be a cake walk like last year. UCF held smu to 56 points in there own gym and they don’t have bj Taylor back. Smu has a home court record just as good as ours. Houston is going to be really tough. Wichita state rarely loses in Koch arena, and we never play well @temple. Tell me where I’m off base? Winning on the road against good teams is really ******* hard. I mean, are you going to predict that we only take 2 losses? I’ll gkadly hope your right, but I’m a realist. I want to protect home court, and steal a few road wins |

Also keep in mind I made these predictions BEFORE a single game was played.
Obviously UConn under achieved , Houston over achieved Quit being butthurt. Hopefully your donating to the program and are a season ticket holder |
