Predicted finish

I see 19-10 prior to the tourny in second place in conf. play and playing Oakland for the title.

Re: Predicted finish

My guess, as of today.....

Non-conference: 5-6
Conference: 10-8
Total (before Summit Tourney): 15-14

I guess I would be happy w/ that, especially looking at who we have coming in and who we would have coming back.

I think alot has to go right for us to win 19.

THE BAD:
@ Wyoming
(N) Purdue
(N) Boston College or Saint Josephs
(N) UNI, ECU, DePaul or Tennessee
@ IUPUI
@ Nevada
@ Minnesota
Oakland
@ ORU
@ Oakland
That's 10 real tough games and all but one are neutral or on the road. So that's likely 10 losses right there. Let's say we pull off an Iowa State win and knock off one of these teasms. Most likely? ECU or @Wyoming. 1-9 is about the best we can hope for among these teams.

THE TOUGH:
ORU
IUPUI
@NDSU
@IPFW
Central Michigan
@WIU
IPFW
NDSU.
There is another 8 games right there where we better darn well show up. All are tough games, but all are winnable games. Let's say we do 5-3 in this group.

THE EASY....uh easier:
Mayville St
SW Minn St
Denver
UMKC
Centenary
@UMKC
@Centenary
SUU
@SUU
WIU
Cal-Poly
Eleven games right there and we darn well better win about every one. There are going to be stumbles and three of those games are on the road. 9-2 is probably pretty reasonable here.

That's 15-14 in my book and I think we finish somewhere around there. I would say high water mark would be 16-17 wins and low water would probably be 13 or 14. Just my opinion.....

Re: Predicted finish

11-18

.500 or better would be a great year overall. In order to do that we likely need to finish at least 10-8 (12-6 would be better of course) in conference which means defending the home court and winning games against the bottom 3 or 4 teams in conference play at their home.
