Pretty good stuff...he has us finishing 25-5 and 15-3 in conference. I would take that season in a heartbeat.

Possible but not likely. Big East is too tough for that. Had Trevor proven to be a monster (and healthy), but let's be realistic.
Finishing the season on a 14 game winning streak!
This is probably the best MU team since the final four run. I agree, the big east is tough and we're sure to have a hiccup or two along the way. I think this team has a real good chance to do special things come March.
I thought he had us winning the Big East when I saw his Louisville and G-Town picks but then I saw West Virginia. Here are his other current predictions:
West Virginia: 17-1 (woah!)
Marquette: 15-3 (rah rah!)
Louisville: 13-5
Pittsburgh: 13-5
Providence: 12-6
Notre Dame: 11-7
Georgetown: 11-7 (woah!)
UConn: 10-8
Villanova: 9-9
South Florida: 7-11 (woah!)
St. Johns: 7-11
Seton Hall: 6-12
Syracuse: 6-12
Rutgers: 3-15
Cincinatti: 2-16
DePaul: 2-16
Can't say I see WVU going 17-1 in the BE
Huggy Bear will improve them but 17-1 is a bit much!
G-town is currently shooting 52% on their free throws as a team. That's a huge reason why they are predicted to lose that many games.
Overall, his Pythagorean theorem, which he uses for these predictions, has WVU as the #1 team in the country and us as a very solid #8. Shockingly UW is ahead of us at #7.
As with any predictions based on stats, his "early season" predictions aren't that great, because there's not enough data to back them up.
