billiken_roy Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 23-7, some hiccups early without KM then we get on a good roll. Win the A-10 tourney, get a 6-7 seed and make it to the Elite 8. that would be more than 30 total games i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Regular season only. 24-6. Should be good enough for popping in and out of the national rankings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Pine Jim Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I'll go with 24-6 regular season, 2 wins in A-10 tourney, 2 wins in NCAA tourney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BACKHANDtheRICAN Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I'll go with 24-6 regular season, 2 wins in A-10 tourney, 2 wins in NCAA tourney.My heart is saying 36-0 but I've gotta predict with logic....Backhand says 35-1 losing to Indiana in the NCAA championship.

Billikan Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 This is harder than it looks--It would be much easier with KM in the lineup from day 1-- I worry that we will lose a game or two early that we would not have otherwise lost if KM had been playing. If that happens and if we are slower off the mark in the conference because of a need to smooth out the play of our guards with KM back then we could lose a game of two in conference we did not expect to lose. Then if we make the tourney we get a fairly medium seed like an 8 or a 9 and have to play a 1 in the next game. Let's hope I am a ridiculously pessimistic dog! Regular season 23-7 A 10 tournament 2-1 NCAA 1-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Here is my projection/prediction 24-6 Regular Season (A-10 co-champs with VCU) 2-1 A-10 Tourney (lose in final to VCU) 1-1 NCAA (get a 7 seed and lose a nail-biter to the 2 seed) 27-8 Total Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Current projection: Undefeated. Current status: 1 and 0. Current reality: attained. Future projection: TBD. The OCC is weak. Big discussions will be Texas A&M, Kansas and Washington all away from home. Biggest home threats: New Mexico and Valpo. Five "swing" games. Winning four: great. Winning all five: priceless. Cannot afford a "trap" game. Mediocre/average: 2W - 3L. Doin so would place all our eggs in A-10 basket. Conference schedule/A-10 basket: extremely favorable with all contenders at the Fetz. Defend the home fires. Great teams do. Road contests of concern: Olean, Butler, Richmond, Temple and Xavier. Never seem to win in Olean. Butler is Butler. Richmond can be tough place. Temple is Temple and we will likely be a "super bowl" game to young Xavier squad. Can win all but most concern is in Olean and Philly to me. Current roster give me great confidence. We shall see. Play them one at a time. Let's see what Craig and USC Upsate bring. Current confidence level for undefeated season: 2%. Current confidence level for Dancing in March: 95%. Let the fluctuations begin.

Hey Taj, Do you realize that if you make a prediction regarding the record and you are wrong, there is no penalty? We all realize they have to play the games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kshoe Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hey Taj, Do you realize that if you make a prediction regarding the record and you are wrong, there is no penalty? We all realize they have to play the games But if Taj puts in positive prediction/projection now and we stumble during the season and under-perform, he won't be able to play the "I knew it all along" card later in the season. On the other hand, given the infamous 7-9 in the A-10 prediction/projection from last year, I can't believe he isn't dying to wipe the slate clean with a new prediction/projection. After all, you are only as good as your last prediction/projection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB73 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Jay Bilas has us 42nd... he is a smart man... I have us higher.... but he is aware we lost one of the top 10 coaches in the NCAA, and the best guard in the A-10 will not be 100% until mid-yr or later. I hope the kids gut it out and play with passion... but we lost a lot. So I went with 22 wins in the regular season. If they stick together, when KM is himself in, say, mid-February we should have a good run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 The Majerus loss will hurt a lot more on the recruiting front than on the floor this year except for a possible match up in the tourney were we have a real talent disparity. Crews can coach and this team already has talent. 26-4 regular season, A10 champs and sweet 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
