No way we get more than 19 wins, just won't happen.  I still think this will be a very good season if you like basketball, but this team will be wildly inconsistent and will be learning on the job.  There is talent but it is raw, I just don't think there is enough season to pull it all together.  The coaching staff is new too, they'll be learning on the job as well.

The team could go 7-5 in non-conference, which means they would have to go 13-5 in conference to get to 20 wins, where do all those wins come from?

I think this team will be playing great by the end of the season, but it's going to take far too long to get there to be successful from a wins and losses perspective.

I like to be optimistic and hope for around 20 wins, I am confident we will be close to 500 at a minimum, people saying closer to 10 wins are being very negative, I would be surprised if that happened.  There is talent on this team, they are flawed sure, but 10 wins?  They can cover that.

20 wins. Book it.

But since this isn't your daddy's Big East, we will still be in the NIT.

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.
Looks great!! I go with 18-12. Somebody start a poll on the over/under of 18.

Georgia Tech has some size though.  I don't think that is going to be as easy as people think.  Reminds me a lot of the match ups against Vanderbilt from a couple years back. 

I am guessing 8-4 non conference.  (Losses @OSU, UW, and two in Orlando)  Somewhere between 8 and 10 wins in conference with a first round BET win gets Marquette in the 17-19 range.

If we count the BE tournament we may get to 20 wins. Without the tournament, I am voted in the upper teens.

But what do other teams think about MU?  I imagine that AZ State and GT think MU lost it's best player and most of its scoring and rebounding with little to replace it. A new coaching staff, new system, etc.  They probably look at us as a W. 

I won't take a win against either of these teams for granted and hope we can beat both, but I don't expect it.  Hopefully I am way off on this team and they surprise, but we really don't have one proven player on the team coming back.  The best we have is a 5th year senior guard who may shoot it a lot with low productivity and Burton who has a lot of potential but hasn't proven it yet and was inconsistent last year.  We have a lot of "IF's" on this team, and usually if you have more than one IF position, it won't be a great season.  I hope I am 100% wrong.

True didn't realize that. Not sure about Vandy cause they had a couple other good players on that team but I think it reminds me of LSU when they ended our undefeated streak with DJO and Crowder

I'm guessing

8-4 Non-Conference (Ls: @OSU, WIS, and two of GT/MSU/ASU)

9-9 Conference (Ls: @GTWN, @XAV, @SJU, GTWN, @NOVA, NOVA, @PROV, and 2 of @HALL, XAV, @CREI, @BUT, SJU)

Total 17-13

With a 6 seed in the BEast tourney, we need to win it all in NYC to make the big dance. One or two wins gets us into the NIT. A loss might send us to the CBI. Given that our team will be better in the second half than they are in the first, a NYC run would not be unexpected.

0-9. Wojo gets canned and the Badgers win the National Championship.
Who let that guy in...    but except for the canned part, not out of the realm.

This is in the realm too...
B10 sweep over UW,OSU,MSU
14-4 BE
BET champs
final 4

right?  ;D

+1. That's the logic to my vote. If many or all of our 'ifs' come through then things are better, if few or none come through..egads.

But Wisconsin doesn't get to play in the BE or BET.

MU overachieves in Wojo's first year; 16 wins.

You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

Poll closed. Thanks for the great response. MU Optomists never fail. We'll try another just before the BE.    Fischer will be active....see what we think then....

Should be noted poll was taken before season and playig time were allocated. If I knew Derrbrick was going to play 33 minutes a game I would have predicted 10-14

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

I said this before the season started.

I vote nightmare!
