moytoy12 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Well, since practice is about to start, I figure we should get an official prediction thread. I'll go with 14-16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeBsTa03 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I am going to go 18-19 and boarder line NIT Team if they can win a game or two in the A-10 tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 16-16. 1 win in A10 tourney. Prove me wrong young men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basketbill Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 So 30 regular season games not including UMSL. am I counting right? 17-15 with a win in the conference tourney. I also want to be proven wrong.....on the upside though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 16-15. With only three upperclassmen, we're still one of the youngest teams in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 16-14 regular season 1-1 A-10 1-1 CBI p.s. hopefully there aren't any "told you so's" at the end of the year from people that only share their predictions/projections in double secret PMs. Amazingly that occurred last year!

brianstl Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 8-4 sounds about right again for the non conference. Improvement in the record will have to come in conference play. The optimist in me hopes we can double the conference win total. 14-16 feels about right for the ceiling for this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The optimist in me hopes we can double the conference win total. 14-16 feels about right for the ceiling for this team. The ceiling? ouch. The players sure should be able to use the "no one believes in us" battle cry in the locker room. Man, I hope they come out ready. Still running my Monte Carlo simulation over here...I will be back to you shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I honestly could see 10 wins or 18 wins but a slight revision from my prediction last month, I'll say 14 regular season wins. Again, the win total won't bother me as much as how we actually look and are ranked by the Sagarins and Pomeroys of the world. Last year's team won 11 games but they looked/were ranked like a 5 win team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I don't think it is a daunting noncon schedule, I do think it is tougher than last year's and there is one less game. This team winning 14 games would actually be a pretty big improvement from last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 The North Florida game will tell us a lot. That game should give us a good gauge of how good we are. If we are any good at all, we beat North Florida at home. Of course if we dump one before that, get ready for global board meltdown. However, if we can beat North Florida at home, I and everyone else will be pleasantly optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a good feel for the talent of our roster nor most of the teams on our schedule, so this prediction is really uninformed.

Billiken Rich Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I'd say 17 to 18 D1 wins is where we end up...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 12-19. 5-14 in A10. Bounced first game of tourney. No PG, no real PF, our vet bigs are soft and slow, and I think Crews still messes too much with the rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if we can beat North Florida at home, I and everyone else will be pleasantly optimistic. Agreed. UNF is a very solid basketball team. I saw them play a lot last year here in Jacksonville. They lost one significant player from their conference championship run and can really shoot lights out. They are very well coached and they took out Purdue on the road last year. Still we have way more talent and should beat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A young team can lose to a good team at home in November and beat a comparable team two months later. Happens all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A young team can lose to a good team at home in November and beat a comparable team two months later. Happens all the time. Or the opposite (see Indiana St last year). I don't think we'll have any indication on our team until we get into A10 play. But I know I'll be at the top of the overreaction committee in November either way.

A young team can lose to a good team at home in November and beat a comparable team two months later. Happens all the time. If anything the team should benefit from the head start it got in the Bahamas in the early part of the season. Multiple people have done studies on the benefits these trips have on a team's record, especially in the early part of the season. The benefits of that trip should outweigh the team's youth at that point of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
