That seems like a lot of hope going on there.
Quote from: We R Final Four on September 10, 2022, 07:21:14 AM
So you see a tourney team in September this year?
Two years ago, I predicted NCAA Tournament and people thought I was too bullish. Last year, I said 23-8 and a 5 seed and people thought I was too bullish. I might be bullish, but so far, all Shaka and company have done is exceed my expectations. I'm perfectly comfortable with bullish because so far, everyone predicting what this team would do for two seasons has been underoptimistic, myself included.

Well, this time around if Shaka and Co exceed your expectations we will be in the convo for best college teams of all time

I am thinking 28-3 is more realistic, but on a game-by-game I like my record (I'm sure we all would). Toughest call for me is game 3 of Maui, as I think Purdue/Tennessee will be very tough. But I'm going with revenge on Purdue for the game we almost had at their house last year.
brew, as your look back shows, I wasn't disagreeing with you at all. I just said I hoped you were right -- while hoping that we'd go even further in the NCAAs than you predicted. Unfortunately, we didn't!

I saw a presentation a few years ago that said Futurists are wrong 90%+ of the time. Yet, they keep grabbing headlines as they are good for views by being provocative. Jaime Dimon is a great example.
You used science and art to nail both years. You should feel good about taking a deserved bow. 🙇♂️

I agree with this 100%. I would rather have a UCONN type year of not winning anything in the BE and win the NCAA. A mid season struggle in the BE could create a more focused team.

I think they go 24-7 and reach E8 or higher. If healthy, I think they can be competing for NC next spring.
I believe they will be ranked #1 for more than one week prior to the NCAA.

The beautiful thing is that they don't have to do one or the other.
But yes, if I had a choice, I'd happily sacrifice a BEast title if that could somehow guarantee a Final Four.

Did you hesitate a while before placing a W or L for one or more games or other categories? I did with Illinois (went with a W) and BET (went with runner-up instead of champ).
I noticed a lot of L's for the road game at Illinois but also the one at St. Johns. I get it. Never underestimate Slick Rick.
Remember dgies' thread (maybe two years ago), asking scoopers what they thought our chances were of winning another natty? The replies were pretty much a big NO!
Snoop
This has the chance to be a year they win a natty. The closer we get to tipoff, the more I like the makeup of the squad. We have men playing key positions and have played together for two seasons. This might just be the year we all of waited a long time to experience.

I'm wavering a bit, Goose. Just nerves. But think you're on the right track with expectations.
Still worry about defense and rebounding. Also curious to see what the transition game looks like sans OMax.

I agree Big Time, Goose. I still remember the
sheer ecstasy from 1977 and, I must confess, lost hope during the Wojo years that I would ever see us win another one.
Shooter
As you may remember, I was a big supporter of Omax and felt he played a big role in the success last year. That said, I think he will be replaced by multiple guys with no different skills.
My biggest reason for optimism, aside from a deep talented team, is experienced men that have played together. They felt success as a team and had a bad ending game. I felt the UNC game would be catalyst going into last season and think MSU is similar.
Lastly, while I loved Omax, I think a vastly improved Joplin, Ross and Gold is going to fill the void.

You're right, 6-9 that in practice is actually 5-9.
Assuming Herman means that we beat Chaminade and lose to UCLA and not-Syracuse in the 5th place game, Herman has us going 2-12 in the 14 games that KenPom gives us a 65% chance or less of winning. And then on top of that, Herman has us losing at home to Notre Dame, a game we are currently a 95% favorite in. KenPom isn't everything, especially preseason, but c'mon.
Losing any one of those 14 games is possible. Losing 12 of them? No way. Losing 12 of them and losing to Notre Dame? To borrow from Muggsy, UNACCEPTABLE.
What an "excellent" analysis

Herman is normally very bullish on our Warriors. The year we return almost the entire roster he picks the team to be average? Is this reverse psychology on his part? Were his predictions before the 77 championship the same and he is just following through with that mentality again? Herm, Not sure I'm getting your thoughts here. The schedule is really tough but I really hope if this is your legitimate prediction you are dead wrong. No pun intended.

Yes, I am normally very bullish on our Warriors. Especially , going into the last two seasons.
This year I would describe myself as
Extraordinarily Enthusiastic and Excited for an Excellent season. Love the make up of the squad and how interconnected the team is. Feel we are definitely a Whole is greater than the sum of the parts type team.
However, I am not Bullish because I believe the non-conference schedule this year is incredibly challenging. My sincere heartfelt desire is to be proven dead wrong and enjoy a delicious plate of crow. I figure there will be one unexpected bad loss this year and have Notre Dame Sucks picked for that . Again I hope that turns out to be moronic.
I do have the Guys performing well in Conference. However , I think the non-conference will limit the type of seed we may get in the tournament and make a deep run much tougher. Obviously hoping to be wrong on that as well.

I understand the concern. It's not that far from past MSU teams who scheduled too hard in the non conference season only to come on strong in the NCAA tournament. Maybe it will be like you have predicted but instead with a final four at the end of the rainbow. Who knows? Let's enjoy the ride!
Final 4 or better is my wish. Don't care how we do it in particular. The current group already won BE and BET. It would be nice to win one or more again, but all of that won't matter if we go deep into March.

Herm is on campus for recruiting visits, so I think he has a good pulse on the program as an obvious insider
I have no idea who Herm actually is or what his actual thoughts are on anything, but he's essentially a low key troll. You have to view his persona through that lens.

Over the weekend I was thinking about the upcoming season and the program as a whole and could not be any more excited. When I was a kid, my Dad always said that MU basketball was his winter therapy and I now get it. The excitement of being a fan of a top program in the country is a great feeling. Shaka has created excitement that I have not seen or felt in a very long time, and I am going to enjoy every second of the season.
I know that there will be moments that will disappoint during the season and the lofty expectations will be hard to reach. That said, this program has not been in better position or hands in almost fifty years. I think this team has a chance to be special, but I still believe that there is a very good chance of even better teams down the road.
Basically, I am going to enjoy this team and hope they reach every goal that they have set out to achieve. I sure hope they win a natty this year, but if not, I think Shaka delivers a NC before his tenure at MU is over. Lastly, I really hope the students and young alums buy into the program in a big way. This might be a team they are talking about 50 years from now.
If healthy in March, I think this team has an outstanding chance of playing in April.

Basically, I am going to enjoy this team and hope they reach every goal that they have set out to achieve. I sure hope they win a natty this year, but if not, I think Shaka delivers a NC before his tenure at MU is over. Lastly, I really hope the students and young alums buy into the program in a big way. This might be a team they are talking about 50 years from now.
If healthy in March, I think this team has an outstanding chance of playing in April.
Love it, and agree wholeheartedly!

Over the weekend I was thinking about the upcoming season and the program as a whole and could not be any more excited. When I was a kid, my Dad always said that MU basketball was his winter therapy and I now get it. The excitement of being a fan of a top program in the country is a great feeling. Shaka has created excitement that I have not seen or felt in a very long time, and I am going to enjoy every second of the season.
I know that there will be moments that will disappoint during the season and the lofty expectations will be hard to reach. That said, this program has not been in better position or hands in almost fifty years. I think this team has a chance to be special, but I still believe that there is a very good chance of even better teams down the road.

COHO: Cult of High Outlook

As you know, I thought the program has had some smoke and mirror moments and I think this is the real deal. Like everyone on here, I have no idea how the season will play out, but I do know the foundation for long term success is in place. I heard Stevie's Mom on TV and she said she has no idea how every kid offered a scholly does not say yes on the spot. IMO, recruiting is going to get easier and easier.

I am in the COHO cult. Seeing that team embraced the goal of a long run in the NCAA took me to the next level. They are not hiding from the lofty expectations.
Jerry Palm has picked the Marquette Golden Eagles for the Final Four, so go ahead and cancel those plans for Phoenix that weekend.
#donedeal #gameoverman #kissofdeath
25-6, 16-4 Big East
Losses to Illinois, and Kansas. Then losses in road games against St. John's, Villanova, UConn, Creighton.
1st in the Big East, Elite 8.

Excited to join you in the high expectations this year, Goose! I am probably a little less bullish than you and Brew in this thread, but I'm filled with a ton of excitement about the potential of this team. It's a great group of guys playing for Shaka and I think we're gonna be positively surprised by the jumps some of the younger guys make this year (Ross, Gold, and Sean).
Just happy we're back to Marquette basketball time!
Jake
I am bullish because we have a mature team that has played together for a couple of years, they are very deep, and it sure seems like they think they can win it all. I really believe that they believe they can win it all. Not many teams really believe it going into a season and I think MU believes 100%.
I didnt count, but it looks like 50%+ had this down as a loss. Hopefully this helps many of you purge your COLEitis

When the worst thing that happens is Marquette exceeds your expectations, that's a good day.

Yup. I'm guessing I originally marked it as a W but then thought 27-4 was too lofty. So the first road game, in a tough environment against a good team no less, seemed like a good spot to flip a W to an L.
Nobody with a perfect season. Most (maybe all?) out on Illinois or Wisconsin.

I also have the right record but don't pick game by game. I know I'm not going to predict every game perfectly anyway.

My picks would have been correct but I listened to Herm
I did not go game by game, but their record is where I thought it would be. Had them going 24-7 and thought 15-5 in BE play. If I had picked the games, I would have had Illinois and UW incorrect.

Herm's and your picks were reverse psychology for the team. You guys knew what you were doing with those picks. Great bulletin board material. Well thought out. Nice work!
Illinois is the only miss game by game so far. Had 'em at 16-4 in league play and still feel pretty good about that given the underperformance after the top 3.

Both KenPom & torvik have us going 14-6 in BEast play, with 8 losses on the year — same as my preseason prediction. The AP #3 ranking looks good too.
Looking forward to the Elite 8!!
Had us going 3-4 to end the year, with a loss at UCONN, three wins, then ending the year with three Ls. Buckle up.

Don't you have a PB game?

Yes, shortly.
On Friday I took a ball to the face (pawz) and busted my lip. My white TBT Deonte Burton jersey has been cleaned up though, and I'm ready to compete.
Calling out the score with a swollen & bloody lip was a challenge, but I continued to dominate on the court and will again this week.

I was correct on 8 regular season losses, 14-6 Conf record and AP poll high of 3. So, get ready for a BET finals loss and the Elite 8!

You also had us 22-8 regular season.
So your prediction of a covid cancellation throws a wrench in it all.
I had them 24-7 and being ranked #1 for at least one week. They have their chances for #1 and I think reached #3. As we sit here today, I am still banking on FF appearance provided TK is back and at full strength a week from Thursday.

Not cancellation-related. Had UCLA at the Maui
One game off for the total record, two off in league play. Not bad.
It was a good prediction, JB, and I seriously applaud you for it. But thank goodness you were wrong (albeit just barely - thanks Sean Jones!) about the loss to UCLA.
Had we dropped that one, we'd have a loss to what turned out to be a garbage team, a meaningless win over a D2 team, and a game against a meh Gonzaga team. Instead, thanks to the win over UCLA, we ended up with a decisive victory over the then-No. 1 Kansas, and a "good loss" to Purdue.
That win over UCLA arguably was the most important game of the entire regular season and will have turned out to be at least a 1-seed-line difference for Marquette. At least.
As for your Elite 8 prediction ... we all hope you end up not giving MU enough credit!
I shouldn't have listened to Herm
