I'd say 12-6 puts us on the bubble. Torvik has us going 10-8, so we definitely need to play better. |

The facts are we absolutely must either go undefeated or 14-2 or better to make the tourney.
Here why: Bowling green is now a tier 3 loss after dropping back to back games to horrible teams Colgate is a tier 3 loss And then tenn just lost Lamont turner for the year. They were a farce even with him, they hadn’t really beat any one good and now without turner will get pounded in the Sec. my guess is that CJB’s first top 50 win might not even be top 75 by years end. So we have 2 dreadfully bad losses in the same season, a tier 3 win against a very disappointing Vermont team and a home win against an overrated Tennessee team that is likely on a huge down turn. This is the worst non conference resume UC has had since 2012 and sure that team went to the sweet 16 but that team also played in the big east with tons and tons of opportunity to corrects its resume. This season is a wash. I guess we could always hope for some conference tourney magic but their are 4 or 5 teams that I’d picked ahead of UC in that tourney. Just gotta hope next year Is better. It’s all we can do. I predicted 10-8 In the vote. But I’ll just do it game by game and see what I think hsppens: UConn: win @tulane: loss Tulsa: win @ucf: win @memphis: loss Ecu : win @temple: loss Smu: win Houston: loss @WSU : loss @Uconn : loss Memphis : loss @ECU : win UCF : win WSU : loss @Houston loss @south Florida : loss Temple : win 8-10 So when I do a game by game matchup I come up with 8-10 just because I think Ron hunter is going to give them hell at Tulane, and I don’t think I’ve seen enough from Brannen to say he is going to win a lot of road games. We need win 13 games just to get to 20 wins. I just have a hard time finding 13 games we should win |

It's actually very similar to Temple last season. They went 8-7 in Q1/Q2 games with 1 bad loss, then lost to Wichita St in the first round of the AAC tournament but still got an at-large bid. So 15-3 probably gets us in even in a worst case scenario. But if we get some breaks (Vermont/Tennessee top 75, Houston/Temple top 30, Tulane/USF top 135), we can lose a few more games and still be on the bubble. |

And what have you seen from this team that says we can go 15-3? This is the worst offense we’ve had since 2015, and the worst defense Since 2009 15-3 is what we did under elite defensive coaching. But to this point I see zero reason why we should ever expect this team to go 15-3 I’m not one but confident about beating UConn next Wednesday at home. My point is.... the season is a wash because unless some miracle occurs, we have no chance to go 15-3 Add in that if we do go 15-3 the chances are we lose 3 games on the road which hurts your tier 1 wins. I’m borderline confident that we lose twice to WSU, Memphis and Houston. They have better players or better coaches. |

I voted for 11-7, and I noted earlier that Torvik predicts 10-8. Neither would get us to the bubble. My rebuttal was to your claim "The facts are we absolutely must either go undefeated or 14-2 or better to make the tourney."

If we don't have the Bowling Green loss, or the random Colgate loss, it's probably exactly where we thought we would be. At least record wise. Jarron hurt and playing terrible hurts this team a lot. Not blaming anyone, just is what it is. Kind of hard to get a grasp on this team if he is truly hurt. We will find out when we play Uconn. They are a decent team.
