My thoughts...
Wed. 1/2 - vs. Tulane blowout win Sat. 1/5 - @ECU double digit win Thurs. 1/10 - @Tulsa Need to win these types of games to have a shot at winning the league... I say close win Sat. 1/12 - vs. UConn double digit win Tues. 1/15 - vs. USF double digit win Sat. 1/19 - @Wichita State close win, I think our experience prevails Thurs. 1/24 - vs. Tulsa they played us tough at home last season... i think we win by 8-10 points Sun. 1/27 - @Temple I think this is a better Temple team than year's past... LOSS Sat. 2/2 - SMU similar to Tulsa at home... 8-10 point win Thurs. 2/7 - @Memphis I think Memphis is starting to find a groove at home... LOSS Sun. 2/10 - @Houston The clearest LOSS on the schedule... Houston will be too tough to beat in their new arena Sun. 2/17 - Wichita State double digit win Thurs. 2/21 - UCF Hard to predict since UCF could easily be hit with injuries again by this point... 6-8 point win Sun. 2/24 - @UConn We've played well here over the past few years... close win Wed. 2/27 - @SMU Blew out a weakened SMU in Moody last season, and I still like our chances... close win Sat. 3/2 - Memphis Double digit win Thurs. 3/7 - @UCF Again, a big wildcard game, but I think we win close ala @Wichita State last season Sun. 3/10 - Houston Both teams come in with 3 losses, we pull it out in front of a raucous crowd to win the league 15-3, AAC Champs |

I did 14-4.
my rationale is we won't go better than 7-2 on the road, between SMU/UCF/UConn/Houston/Memphis/Temple. To be honest I expect a 6-3 road record, and a 8-1 home record. This is just spitballing, but 25-6, going into the conference tourney, would be a 4-6 seed or so. I like having the wiggle room of going 13-5 and not being on the bubble in all probability. |

I think @tulsa will be a blood bath and first to reach 50 wins.
The bright side is: I think jarron will be the best player on the floor all season. That helps a ton. |

Would love 16-2 but think more like 14-4. There aren't any really good teams in the conference (beside Houston), but there are some that can beat us if we don't play well (on the road). I don't think anyone can beat us at home beside Houston.

We all knew this year was going to be a down year compared to last year, especially after the OSU game. Then we started to play really well and knock off a bunch of wins. We were doing better than expected. We weren't beating teams worth bragging about (besides the impressive 30 point win over UCLA), but from an eye test standpoint you can tell this team has a chance to beat any team besides maybe the top 5 to 10 teams in the country. When this team is at its best it looks about as good as last year, I just think the floor is a lot lower this year. Our ceiling is high but we can also lose to anyone on the road as well as we don't have enough talent to bail us out like we did the past two years. All-in-all we will be ok. Saturday sucked, but our year is not over yet.
