1-4. 

We might beat SJU at home. 

Creighton is going to roll us twice.  They're a great pick n roll team and well you know...

And with the way we're playing, we can't assume any road wins. 

That's 6-10.  Ouch.

Lol what

6-12. Keep forgetting it's an 18 game sked.  Either way, 6 wins in conference is not ideal.

You're assuming two road losses to DePaul and Georgetown and  that Creighton is going to roll us at home? Kenpom has us favored in each of the last 4 games (albeit 3 are pretty much toss ups. The chances we finish 1-4 are small.

Here's my reasoning:

1) Creighton is a bad match-up, it's the opposite of SHU, hence 0-2
2) We beat SJU at home, 1-2
3) I can't plan on a young team that has lost 7 of 10 is going to win on the road in games that KenPom shows as near toss-ups, hence 1-4

I hope I'm wrong but the trend line on this team is down and I do not think that is just the case of playing a tough stretch of the schedule.

That is not a bash on Wojo, but an observation. Since he has been here, especially last two seasons, I have given up guessing on winning or losing. I do not think I have see a team surprise more than the last couple of seasons. If they ran the board on the next handful or got skunked, it would not shock me. I could not tell you who they match up well against or who they do not.

I don't necessarily agree but see your reasoning on points 1 and 2. For #3, we just beat SHU on the road, a game where we were a 7 point dog. I just can't see losing at Georgetown and DePaul. Thanks for the explanation

6, 7, 8, or 9 wins in conference is mediocre and unacceptable. We should be competing for BEast titles, not bottom tier.

No one in their right mind expected this team to compete for a BE title this year.  No one. 

This team is within a 1 or 2 of what everyone in their right mind thought they would be.

They are definitely hard to get a read on.

They are young and young players are inconsistent, great one night suck the next. Blame the youth on whatever you want, but it is a fact. Also, they depend on the 3 point shot as the major part of their offense.  Obviously, when they hit them they do well when they don't they don't do well. They have little else they can go to.
