What Do You Expect Our Record To Be On January 27?
« on: January 13, 2019, 01:02:05 PM »
Our next four games are against the four lowest rated teams in the Big East

* AT Georgetown JAN 15 (TUE) 7:30 P.M. CT
* Providence College JAN 20 (SUN) 11 A.M. CT
* DePaul University JAN 23 (WED) 7:30 P.M. CT
* AT Xavier University JAN 26 (SAT) 1 P.M. CT

---------------

We are 14-3 (3-1) now.  What do you expect our record to be on January 27?

I expect 18-3 (7-1) or 4-0 over this stretch.

The minimum acceptable is 17-4 (6-2) or 3-1 over this stretch.

Anything less is a disappointment.

What say you?

Preseason I thought we would go 2-2 over this stretch. I picked at Georgetown as our annual "WTF" conference loss. I also thought Xavier was going to be better than they have been.

I think we will be a favorite in all four games. I think 3-1 is the reasonable expectation. 2-2 would be disappointing but we could easily recover from it.

Would agree. 17-4. 18-3 is possible though which is pretty incredible if it happens.

I think we would have to be pleased with 3-1. I just hope the 1 is not @ Georgetown as I will be in DC for work and have a really nice ticket for that game.

That would be the one I'm most worried about, but I think with their youth we'll escape with a 4-5 point victory.

I love it how so many people bitch and moan that we look awful, some guys are playing like crap, others aren’t developing and then go and predict we will win every game left on our schedule, and if we don’t, it is a huge disappointment.

Lose at least one, maybe two

I expect to win all 4. 3-1 I would be fine with but that would mean we lost a game we shouldn’t have. 2-2 and I’m mad.

4-0 with Morrow, possibly 3-1 without but 4-0 still most likely scenario

I have a feeling that Depaul will beat us at home for our first Fiserv Forum loss, but that we'll figure out our road yips.

3-1

Now that's funny; great observation. Most of us are probably guilty of that at times.

3-1 over that stretch would certainly be acceptable, and most probable in my book. I'd say a very slight better chance of 4-0 over 2-2.  At X is never easy, and Gtown has some pretty good talent. I'd be disappointed if we dropped either of the 2 at home even though there are no gimmes.

I agree with this analysis.

Georgetown took St. John’s to overtime at home. That’s the only game to worry about right now. If the team doesn’t play better than they did in the second half yesterday it’ll be Georgetown by a lot.

Should go 4-0. 

We are playing:

At #95 Georgetown

Home against #74 Providence

Home against #104 DePaul

At #81 Xavier

No reason to lose any of those games.  This is NOT the old Big East or the Big East of even the last 4 years.

Yes.  It is balanced.

If we find out Morrow is out for an extended period of time, does that change anyone's predictions?

No. Just means more time for Theo who is better anyway.

Beta guys always like the 2nd option as they are used to being a back up.
