I’m not going to predict the outcome of every game but I think that they make the tournament as one of play in games where they beat Minnesota.

Like last year, we'll win a few we aren't supposed to (@ WI, Nova at home (we're in their head), but then drop an egg too (@Georgetown). Losing some close games we could've/should've won (Georgia at home, Hall at home) will leave us firmly on the bubble and needing a first round BE win (against the Hall) to squeak into a first-four seed, which we lose to NCAA nemesis S. Carolina. Wojo completes another "B-" season - doing enough to avoid any hot seat talk, but leaving us hoping that 18-19 will be the breakout year.

It is one of the weakest Badger team's we've seen in a while. They SHOULD be an NIT team on paper. I think it's just that nagging feeling that Badgers always manage to bounce back and never rebuild. I'm hoping Gard doesn't have the same voodoo that Bo did.

Van Vliet could also rise up.
Pritzl and Alex Ill have been around for a couple of years now -- based on high school years, both look like guys who could go from barely any PT in first two years on campus to solid players.
Brad could push Trice. Kobe & Nate could help.
Wouldn't be surprised to see them become a group with a healthy rotation of solid players... Big Ten is lackluster outside of the top 2, imo, so there's definitely an opportunity for them to have a good (tourney) season...
Hoping they go 0-18 in the B1G though.

Top 2 being MSU and MN? The B1G blows but those two should be good. Purdue should be solid though.

MSU on top. Minnesota not too far behind. Northwestern and Purdue the next tier. Huge question mark after that.

12 BE wins, 3rd place in the BE and a 10 seed in the NCAA Tournament? You must be expecting the BE to be way down.

12 BE wins, 3rd place in the BE and a 10 seed in the NCAA Tournament? You must be expecting the BE to be way down.
I have been tracking the Big East preseason pretty carefully the last 4 years. Our conference has gotten out of the gates strong each preseason winning most of the important non conference games. It seems like we head into conference play as one of the top 3 conferences. At some point the conference may be on the wrong end of a few of those close fought OOC games. So I have a little bit of that figured into my analysis of seed. Once everyone is in conference play it is hard to change the trajectory of the overall conference because of the zero sum nature of it.
I am looking at Villanova and Seton Hall to be the two leaders of the Big East. Then I see MU, Butler, Xavier, Providence and Creighton in the next tier. The Johnnies may be good enough to get in the 6-7 win range this year which hurts that second tier group. Georgetown and DePaul bring up the rear, but they may not be horrible.
I think once we get in tournament we will do well because of our 3 point capability.

Two quick observation of this Tread's Predictions.
1) Amazing the number of 20 or more wins (Approx. 17 of 21) as compared to Kenpom 16-12 recorded, he didn't include final 2 games in Maui.
2) The absence of some of our High Profile/Vocal Posters.

I think/hope we'll be pretty good, but guessing what we'll do on a Tuesday 4 months from now seems like a fool's errand to me. If we sign QG I'll look at this season as the springboard to 2018-19 which should be a really fun ride.

I think every year we have this kind of thread most of the posters are 20 wins plus. It is an MU fan board so we are going to be biased positively toward our own success.

I think a rough patch in January with some really tough road games and a bad night against Seton Hall at home ends up costing us an NCAA bid even with the furious comeback at the end of the season.

Hey kids, we are a lot better than last year. We will win at least 22 games.

I hope so, but i see as taking a small step back from last season. Would love to be wrong

Sure, but there's one slight difference - he gets paid to do it.

Disagree somewhat. Sometimes Scoop entertains, sometimes it informs, sometimes it does neither. Maybe it's just me, (and if I'm being a grumpy old man I apologize) but reading game by game predictions for the entire year based on what we know in October fits option #3 IMO.

I agree as we only have one player with 3 full seasons of experience. We are again very young.

And the beauty part is I have a chance to Honestly say I know more about MUBB than Kenpom, and I don't get paid.

I think every year we have this kind of thread most of the posters are 20 wins plus. It is an MU fan board so we are going to be biased positively toward our own success.
So true. I always over estimate. Some people feel like they have to predict reality. As a fan, I’m more motivated by hope than cold reality. And when cold reality meets or exceeds hope, it’s very “cool”. Key phrase here is “as a fan”

I can't believe we haven't seen one of these yet. Time to go on the record with some preseason predictions.

Like last year, we'll win a few we aren't supposed to (@ WI, Nova at home (we're in their head), but then drop an egg too (@Georgetown). Losing some close games we could've/should've won (Georgia at home, Hall at home) will leave us firmly on the bubble and needing a first round BE win (against the Hall) to squeak into a first-four seed, which we lose to NCAA nemesis S. Carolina. Wojo completes another "B-" season - doing enough to avoid any hot seat talk, but leaving us hoping that 18-19 will be the breakout year.
I still agree with this analysis. Merry Christmas MU - go to sleep with visions of stomping Xavier in your head!
-
Even though we were not favored, I would say that we certainly were “supposed” to win that game. That would have been considered a bad loss as opposed to a game that we won that we weren’t supposed to win.

100% percent through non conference w/l
Almost 100% through stats. Damn

Impressive stuff above, well done!
That 1-4 start to the BE scares me. If we're 1-4 having to go to Butler to win, a place we've struggled at, I'll start to get nervous. I think it's imperative to start at least 2-3 in the first five, which means we likely have to win 1 of @Providence or Seton Hall at home, which I think is doable.

Bumping this thread. Purely because many people predicted we would be 2-3 or even 1-4 through these first 5 games.
Some(here's to you merritsmoustache hit the nail on the head! 8-))
Myself, I was a bit off.
But I think it just warrants some remembering that we are doing better than most thought at this point in BE conference.
Hooray! Keep it up boys!
-
I don't think anyone had the Georgia loss. And very few had a W marked down @PC and vs. SHU.
-
I had them at 12-5 at this point and 3-2 in conference -
albeit with a slightly different constitution of W/L
tell 'em what they won, Don!
-
I?m feeling good. 10-2 and got all 5 BE games right.
But that?s where it ends. I have losses for Butler away, X away and Nova home. I honestly say we Beat Butler and one of the big 2. Then I predict 7-2 on the back 9 and going to stick with it. 13-5 baby!
-
Looking at my prediction. We're one game ahead of my predicted pace. But I think we're playing better ball than I had thought we would. Tonight is another wonderful opportunity.

I had the total and conference record right so far. Just got there a little differently than expected. Switched Georgia and @Wisconsin, and Xavier and @Providence.
Agree with Glow that we are playing better ball than I expected. I'm hoping the defense against Seton Hall was a sign of things starting to click and not just a flash in the pan that will be our best defensive performance all season.

This is my wildly optimistic/everything comes together/freshmen show up prediction. In reality, I am a little more pessimistic. My floor is 17-13, 0-1, no postseason.
Bump. And this was with Haanif on the roster. I filled out the schedule and predicted over 20 wins. In reality, I have thought from day 1 that this roster was not deep enough, was too young, and too small. Roster make up ultimately falls on Wojo, although I am pretty sure he didn't ask Traci, Duane, Haanif to leave. But I did not then and still do not see how any coach could have taken this particular roster to the second weekend of the tourney. I allowed myself to be optimistic for a while but I see my floor for this team was the more accurate prediction.

Yes, you are the sage pessimist who always knew we'd be this bad. Everything is on track.
FTR, when exactly should we expect NCAA again? A top-4 conference finish? A conference championship? A final four? A NC?

Butler played in back to back NC games and you do not believe MU can do that? That is troubling to me. You are a diehard fan and do not believe MU can a NC? If that is the case, scale back the spending and invest it in other areas at MU.

I haven't given up on this year. Next year for sure on both. Possibly next year, but if not, assuming no mass defections or coaching changes, we should be very close in 19-20. Final four and NC? Crap shoot.

Next season
Outside shot next season, Good shot season after that
I don't think any team "expects" a final four or championship but I think we will have a team that can compete for one in two seasons

I can see clearly now. If we pull out a win on Feb.24 at DePaul, we are a lock.
