bauman Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Counting Rockhurst, I see 25-5 as a possible record (not counting A-10 Conf Tournament). We need to be as good as I hope we will be, but I think it's a possibility. Losses are: @ Duke, @ Temple, @ Duquense, @ Xavier and @ Richmond. Of these 5 losses I only see two where I give us no chance-Duke and X. In the Win category I see possible losses @ Portland, Georgia, @ Dayton and @ St B. (why do we always seem to have problems with them?) and X here. Potential looking beyond the next game losses include, MO. St, UD here and the final game in Cancun. Piecing all this together results in 28-2 (Best case) and 17-13 as Worst case. Most likely, 22-8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsheldon Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Either you read my post in the A-10 schedule thread (page 2) or we think almost exactly the same. I think 25-5 is and should be the high reaching, yet realistic goal for the season. 22-8 will be my over/under bet with my buddies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every A-10 game is winnable, and should be approached in that manner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsheldon Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 are we counting the rockhurst, stritch and nova games in these predictions? NO, those are the exibition games. Yes I know the rockhurst game is essentially that, but it does count on our record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 so even though rockhurst doesnt count, count it, but dont count the other two that dont count. got it. 21-12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizziken Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 This schedule scares the hell out of me... I only see 1 game that would be a long-shot to win: @ Duke The rest are either 'Should Win' games, 'Tough but Should Win' games, or 'Toss- Up' games... I only see about 5-6 games where we won't be favored (@ Duke, @ Xavier, @ Dayton, @ Temple, maybe Georgia/Mississippi/@ Duquesne)...and I hate being 'favored' to win... I say: 10-3 Non-Conference 11-5 Conference 21-8 going into the A-10 Tourney (22-8 if you count the Rockhurst game) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpencerFilibuster Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I might be a little too optimistic, but I'm hoping that Portland doesn't have a shot against us. Yes, they started strong last year and the game is at their place.... But they graduated their three top scorers (and a couple role players), which adds up to 67% of their points last year. I'm going to assume we lose the Georgia game, and win one of these two (@Duquesne, @Richmond), and probably lose @ Dayton 23-7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bauman Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 so even though rockhurst doesnt count, count it, but dont count the other two that dont count. got it. 21-12 Roy, as I said at the top of my post, "Counting Rockhurst." There is always a group of posters that count D-2 games in our record and a group that doesn't. It's somewhat confusing, but as we progress through the season and our W/L record is mentioned in the various media, a game against a D-2 school is always included. However, as you know the NCAA Selection Committee does NOT count wins over D-2/3 schools. This confusion is the reason I began my post with the first two words. I did not, nor have I ever seen, exhibition games counted for any purpose or included in any write-up about a team and its record, so it doesn't seem like there should be any confusion there.

That's how I came up with 30 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 39-0, 2011 National Champions: 30-0 regular season, 3-0 (after first round bye) in Atlantic City, 6-0 in the NCAA Tournament. 38-0, not including the Rockhurst game. 41-0, including that one and exhibitions. You heard it here first. Start stitching the banner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bauman Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 i have conference tourney and post season included. With your 21-12 final record (including Conf tourney and post-season) in your total of 33 game, it seems like that would mean we have 10 losses b/4 the Conf tour. (This assumes we lose one in the Conf tourn and one in a post-season tourn.) It's hard for me to see how we could lose 10 games plus one in the A-10 tourn and still get in a post-season tourn. That would be a VERY disappointing season, given the weakness of our OOC schedule. I hope you're wrong! Roy, where do you see the 10 regular season losses?

drkelsey55 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Just got home from surgery and I am stil on heavy pain killers. Just thought I would clarify before someone asks me what I am smoking. 30 games, 29-1 only loss to Duke in a close game. Ok go ahead and laugh! We will see at the end of the season.

If we finish 17-13 in the regular season, I'll be expecting RM to be fired or at the very least be required to wear a skirt to all home games the following year. KM, WR, and BC will be required to wear ladies jerseys the following year or have their scholarship revoked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
