Welp, it's about that time. I was very close to adding another nonconf loss, but here's what I'll go with:
19-12 (11-9)
9-22, 4-16

As long as one of the five non-conference wins is Wisconsin, I will be happy because Viper will have a nice Christmas making fun of his brother-in-law. Like the true Christian he is.

That's a loss because Gard gets it done

Always. Even the years he doesn't, he actually does.

Willie's analysis of the program influenced my prediction. He's been watching Marquette basketball since McKinley got shot .
I think we sweep Xavier but split with Butler and Seton Hall.
Eff it. 21-10 (13-7)

We going to play in the crown unless we do some damage at BET and possibly get a play in game in Dayton. Think X of last year.

6-5 non-con?
So you have them losing to all of IU, Maryland, Oklahoma, Purdue, and Wisconsin?
That's ludicrous.

Of those teams listed there I like our odds against UW and Indiana the most. No idea what ones they win or lose. Just making a guess on overall record.
Tournament team. Shaka uses the length, depth, and athleticism to compensate until the offense gets in sync.

Fess up. You have us losing to Georgia Tech and getting trounced by Baylor.

Even if we played them this year I would have no clue. I don't know nearly enough about anyone's team other than Marquette. Maybe a player or two here and there on teams. Way too hard to follow all the movement. I'll let the season get me up to date on how I should feel.
Just making a random guess here.

I could be wrong, obviously, but that really feels like a worst-case scenario to me.

it would be 6 NC losses is we were also playing Radford this year.

Someday the worst case scenario will happen and you will be able to tell everyone you told us so. Don't get all up in arms when people say you're a chicken little and say, "But I said you may be right and I was just flipping a coin for every game with my predictions, as I know nothing about any team we play except Marquette!"
I'm not here to say I'm right or wrong.
Just to talk MU hoops. I made a simple guess on how many games we'd win. Not even who we'd beat.
8-3 OOC
12-8 BE (teeter-tottered between 11-9 and 12-8)
20-11 overall.

Correct. You're here to "talk MU hoops" but when you get called out for predicting MU to lose 6 non conference games when they play 6 high major programs, you can't "talk MU hoops" other than to say you "have no clue, you're just guessing."

Wins come first in the record column.
I said 6-5.

You're right. I knew you picked a loss that was equal to the number of high majors we play in the non conference. I just thought that number was 6, but it's 5. But you aren't saying who the losses will be to, and you know nothing about our opponents, but you are just making a guess. Not a chicken little, just a random number thrown out.

We've already reached the point where you take what I say and twist it to make it sound much worse in your own words.
You seem like a good MU fan so I respond but I never get anything but mockery and twisted words in return.
I legitimately didn't even look at the schedule, I just picked a random number that added up to 11 and 20 based on my initial thoughts on the Marquette roster and nothing more.
I look forward to your dozens and dozens of responses of mockery throughout the season. I'll refrain from answering you back. Go Marquette! Hopefully it's a great year.

Lol. Yes. I will definitely mock you when you show up to a Regular Season Record Predictions thread and say you didn't even look at the schedule. That is correct. I don't need to twist anything. I literally just take what you say and I think once you read what's said you realize how absurd it is.

Jeezus!Edit: Kudos for making sure your total was 31.
I think we can mostly agree that those that post here in the offseason are of the "die-hard" category of fans. If you're around that type of fan and you openly admit to have just "picked a random number", you should expect to get ridicule for that. That's not even internet 101, that just general knowledge 101. You seem like a good MU fan, but you do not seem like a particularly knowledgeable basketball fan.

I don't see what the Big deal is. I've already said I picked the number based solely how I feel about our roster and our roster only. I've already said I know a few players on the teams we play but it is way too hard to follow all the movement and have any idea what the games against these teams might look like. Our roster, to me, seems like a bubbly type team that could dance again if we can get some bigger wins along the way. If you disagree, great!
Maybe if I sat down and put a W or L next to each opponent like we used to do on here I would have had a different record. Who knows.

You don't seem to grasp how doomish a 6-5 non conference prediction is. In the past 25 years, we have had exactly one season where we had 5 or more non conference losses. It was Buzzs last year when we played 6 top 50 KP NC opponets, 5 of them away from home with the one home being against top 20 Ohio St. This year we play 4 top 50 preseason KP teams, one at home (top 35 Maryland).
So essentially, you are saying that you think our roster is so bad that you predict we will have our worst NC record in the past 25 years. That's why you are getting dunked on.

In my head I was thinking towards our last bubblish team that made the tournament and I thought of Markus and Sam's Freshman year where we lost probably somewhere in the 12-14 games range but calculated in Shaka's more rigorous non-con schedule. Like I said, if I looked at it game by game, maybe I would've come up with something different.

You have to learn a couple of things here.
1) Don't participate in any predications threads. You did it last year and are now getting called out on it again. If you predict MU is going to lose and MU wins, you are a deadman to some posters, who will remind you on a consistent basis. Me and you went at it last year over some posts you made, but it was not a prediction issue. Hope you learned your lesson.
2) Don't critique and say bad opinions on any MU player.
Keep up being a fan though and as the season progresses and MU enters a bad losing run, wait for the following reasons from some:
Sean Jones not the same since his ACL surgery
Chase Ross not the same since his surgery
Owens not the same since his injury earlier last year
NBA bound Ben Gold still not the same since his shin splints from August,2023
Shaka should have used the portal
Shaka not playing freshmen enough
Should be an unpredictable season, with Parham, Owens, Lowery and Nigel James as the players who should/maybe make the difference. It will be interesting to watch and how Shaka utilizes the players to start the season and how any adjustments are made as they head to the start of the BE season. Enjoy.

On a side note...I forgot how stupid that season was. Despite the 5 non-con losses, they got to (17-11,10-6) and then lost the last 4 of the season. 8 OT periods in conference play!

When someone talks about bad process, this sure is it.
I'm not sure how you can make any kind of non-conference prediction without literally looking at the schedule.

OP had 19-12. I thought of what I expect their conference record to be and then picked a non-con record I thought would have them on the bubble. 18 or 19 wins was that number in my head. Oh well!
