2017-2018 Season Prediction thread

[Glorydays2013]

I think SLU will finish top 3 in the A-10, potentially tying St. Bon.

Lose no more than 3 non conference games, and no more than 3 conference games

Will win the A-10 tournament to get a bid to the NCAA with a 9 seed, make it to the 3rd round

Jordan Goodwin as A-10 Rookie of the year

Goodwin and French on the all freshmen team

Bess and AD on either 2nd team all A-10 or 3rd

 

[Pistol]

40-0 (including Rockhurst)

you all can rip on Glory all you want but you got to admit he is optimistic!   this would be quite the season.  

[wgstl]

I'll play

Non-conf: Losses to VT and Butler; 11-2

Conf: Losses @La Salle, @davidson,  RI, @bonnies, @UR, and @UD; 12-6

Losses to RI for 3rd time in A10 finals

SLU gets in with a 10 seed and losses first round.

Final record 26-10

 

Goodwin and French  A10 FR team

 

AD 2nd A10 team

 

** finish t-40 in kenpom, start next season 22nd**

 

 

[Old guy]

Like the Wiz says, you need to wait to see a few games (8 he says) before you can make any predictions based on some degree of fact. Until then it is raw speculation. So I will speculate that the bills will win 75% of the games (including Rockhurst), for a 30-10 season. This prediction will be modified after the first 8 games are played.

[Slu let the dogs out?]

10-3 in non-con (one hiccup to go with losses to VA Tech and Butler)

11-7 in conference (starts off slow but by A-10 tourney time the team is a well-oiled machine)

4-0 in A-10 tourney

SLU in as 10 seed, loses first game

Final record: 25-11

Real winners will be the SLU fans who get to witness a basketball being dunked by a SLU basketball player for the first time in years!

Non Conference - 9-3

Conference - 11-7

A10 Tourney 1-1

The point of a preseason prediction is it's based on faith and semi- blind speculation. Also the point of a pre season prediction is that it is pre season. I.e no "8 games played" 

[Spoon-Balls]

Non con -- 9-3

Conference -- 13-5

A10 tourney -- Champs

NCAA tourney -- Lose in 1st round

Overall -- 26-9

[CBFan]

A winning record in non-conference and the A10.

I agree with The Wiz and Old Guy will adjust my prediction after 8 games.

This season is going to be fun.

20-10, NIT bound.

With this type of record, I would suggest we would have an entry on the A10 Defensive team.

The W Michigan game is missing from the schedule on Billikens.com

[kshoe]

10-3 non-con

12-6 conference

1-1 A-10 Tourney

1-1 NIT

24-11 Total

[brianstl]

9-4 non-conference 

13-5 conference

3-0 A10 tourney

25-9 heading into the tournament.

The team really hits it stride in the last third of the season, but will still have to win the conference tournament to make the dance.  I think they have a great chance of doing it.  

[johnbj14]

Senior year Kool-Aid time. SLU wins the A-10 regular season title. 3 conference losses, beats Butler at Hinkle, and wins one NCAA game. Endured 3 years of suffering for this, let's ride. 

[slufan13]

Actually had a dream last night that we made the final four but it got canceled due to bad weather.

So I'll say 10-3 non conference

12-6 conference

2-1 A10

Win "play-in" game. Lose to whoever in the first round.

We land one of the best transfers in the country after the season to round out our recruiting class.

going in 27-7 would normally put us 6-9 seed, but with the a10 being down this could easily be 11-13

[chillinthemost]

anyone heard anything about some bad news coming through the pipeline?  I saw an email today regarding a similar situation to willie/kwamain/josh smif re: the current stars of the team.  Hope it isnt true but could be really bad...
