I put 20 - 24. I think this team will steal a couple games they should lose, and by the end of the year will gel pretty well.

Same here Code. I think if Wojo is what we hope he is, we will work with the talent at bay, be much tougher and much more fundamentally focused. With a bit of luck, I'm guessing about 20 games, maybe with any luck, 21.

As Al once said, "A team is a reflection of its coach." Wojo's will be motivated to push harder than they can, never give up and grit their way into five or six surprise wins.

Too many things have to go perfect for this team to get to 20.   No foul trouble, no injuries, tremendous developmental leaps forward by several players....not feeling it.  1.5 proven scorers at the college level, one guy bigger than 6'7, first time coach, new system.  This season is a building block for '16-17.    10-14 wins.    May I be completely wrong.

0-9. Wojo gets canned and the Badgers win the National Championship.

Hate to say it but the Badgers will be good.

 I think Deonte,  Duane and Steve all excel and Fisher's arrival is a boost and that the team will win 20. Derrick will also be more confident and Carlino will be unafraid to shoot the ball which we need. JJJ May also  surprise. Remember these guys were not allowed to play last year.

I am going with 15-19wins.  I think we have missing pieces such as a post presence and a series of players that will need to develop. Anything above 20 indicates that this is a tourney team.

Out of curiosity I just looked up the Badgers' schedule and it seems pretty favorable for them this year too.  I have no idea who is supposed to be good in the Big 10 this year but they only play Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State each once.  The teams they meet twice include Northwestern, Penn State, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Iowa.  During non-conference they have us, Duke, and Cal.  Badgers have to be the favorite to win the Big 10 right?  I just wish we were going to have Fischer when we faced them.

I took 15-19 with the emphasis on the 19, lot of question marks and a new system to learn. Hoping we gel, play well late and have a chance to play ourselves into the big dance.

Went with 15-19. There are so many variables in play this season that any prediction is a crap shoot.

Voted 20-24....think it will fall between 18-22.  Would be shocked if this team won fewer than 17 games.

My current thinking is 9-3 in non conference. Conference 7-2 at home. 3-6 on the road. 1-1 in big East tournament. So 20-12 record. If we go to NIT I think we win a couple for sure. Big Tournament probably lose first round. The big issue I have is team chemistry. There is enough talent to compete. Looking for big step up for JJJ.

Went with 20-24 b/c I'm a glass half full type of guy.  That being said, I wish 18-21 was an option.

I'm not sure most ppl realize just how tough this season is going to be.... There are zero "known" quantities, including the entire coaching staff. That's not a reason to be optimistic in any way. Hope for the best but expect the worst.

My guess is 15 wins or less.

It's amazing to see the variation in expectations for the coming year. It's pretty wide even by our fan base expectations.

We have unfulfilled talent. If it gels, those of us who are optimistic will be fulfilled. If it doesn't, we have a nightmare

This board is like sportstalk right now. We are analyzing the upcoming season based on a scrimmage.

That is how bored we are.

18-12 this year as the team matures
25-5 the following year.  he team loses in the Elite 8, prompting Henry to stay a second year
27-3 the year after and we're playing in the NC.

Yep.  We need the season to start.

I try to be optimistic, so I chose 20-24...knowing that many things need to fall into place for that to happen.
