The real thing we need in the tournament is a little luck.
Xavier leads the City in Luck. Last year Xavier was an 11 seed against a 6 seeded Maryland, yet Maryland was wildly overrated and had a kenpom ranking of 46 which is 20 spots worse than any other 6 seed. Xavier was an 11 seed and ranked 11 spots higher in KP than maryland Then in 2015 they faced an ole miss team that they were ranked 20+ spots worse than them and they expectedly won. They then made the sweet 16 by beating...... Georgia State (#68). Luck was on their side and they got face a team who upset Baylor i think on a buzzer beater. Then in 2012 they got lucky and was able to play... Lehigh instead of Duke. Oh How would I love if UC would get to play 2 buy games to get into the sweet 16. Luck is what we need |

To be honest I will worry about the post season when selection Sunday comes along. I honestly feel we have the talent to compete with every team on our schedule. EVERY TEAM!!! That hasn't happened in awhile. Teams are pointing to us as a big game on their schedule.
Some things I think we need. 1 Teams do not win Championships without great PG play. 2. With our switch to a more up tempo offence it is imperative that the team understands that just scoring will not get it done. Great Teams Guard and Score!!!! 3. Stay healthy and get better as the season unfolds. Would really like to see us build our production as the season unfolds. Want to head into the dance healthy confident and on a roll. |

I think a prediction of 5-8 losses is very reasonable. Hopefully we don't lose any games. And as your post on the prediction thread said, most people are going with predictions in the 5-7 loss range so I guess we're all just pessimists. |

So tired of promising seasons being destroyed by injury. We have had some of the worst luck around here with that..... I want to see this season play out, and what ever happens happens, I can live with that. |

5 maybe.... I think we lose to both X, and Florida. Beat UCLA on that December gauntlet. Split with WSU, and loss one other game to a UCF type team in conference. Ill say 4 losses. 2-5 losses is a more reasonable range. 2 being on the lighter end, and 5 being towards a max. Just my 2 cents. |
