Are we gonna turn it around or will this be the worst season since Wojo? Buzz? Deane? Naismith?
Originally I predicted "first four out" of the tournament type team. Now I don't think they're even a bubble NIT team. I see 10-13 wins total.

Same. I see 12 wins.
It was astonishing how quickly Shaka turned the Wojo era to a top 10 team, and now how quickly the program has likely crashed to the bottom of the Big East.
Wow
15 votes in and I'm the only one with 15-20 vote.
In all fairness I was on the fence between 10-15 and 15-20.
10-10 in conference would be 15 for the season so I'll stick with that.
Not sure I'd call that 'got it together', since the conference is down a bit, but some of the typically/more recently lower echelon BE teams like SH and Butler seem improved so 10 wins might not be that easy with what this Marquette squad has shown.
Either way, I'm starting to pull for Shaka to right the ship a bit here and I hope he can do it, he's earned it.
Gotta give him credit for riding two freshmen so much.
I know I know, he has no choice, but he does have a choice and he sees that those two deserve the minutes and he gives them the minutes.
Still don't get the Caedin thing but he had 10 boards so whatever, Shaka values his defensive grit.
It'll probably be painful to watch, but let's see what happens.
A win on Saturday would go a long way
I agree ... 12 or 13 wins, and that might be optimistic.
This is worse than any Deane or Wojo team. Smells like a - God forbid -
Dukiet team.
I went with less than 10. Don't see us winning away from Fiserv. Who do we beat at home? Xavier, DePaul, maybe Creighton, anyone else? Not sure.

I also went less than 10 wins.
Last time MU won less than 10 games is 1946-47 with a record of 9-14.
Freaking Yikes.

Nah.
Chase and Nigel alone, along with a few games of Ben/Parham hitting some timely 3s will get them above 10 wins imo.
Gonna need several games shooting 35% or better from 3 though, since facing improved defenses will lead to more 3P attempts, and we haven't seen that from this group

I gotta get me some of what Dr V is drinking/smoking/snorting. I'm searching for ways to watch games with optimism.
6 to 7 wins 🤣
