Call Your Shot Big East Edition

[Scoop Snoop]

Crazy boomer here!

We are going to win some we should not win and maybe lose some we should not lose.

Optimistically 12-8.

As much as I would like to join your party, I just cannot do it. I'm at 9-11 but after today's game I wonder if I should reconsider the two losses vs. Nova that are part of my guess. Woof! If your forecast turns out to be accurate at the end of conference season and you are looking for someone to say "See? See? I told you so!" to, I'm volunteering. I would love to be wrong.

Had 11-9 before the season. I also had way worse non con results.

Honeslty there is a chance of 7 BE teams getting in, if the last few Non con games go positively.

Nova:  0
UCONN:  0
X:  1

OK Spiro. My guess is that many here do not get your reference.

We'll be OK. Fine? Depends upon your definition in terms of W/L. So what's yours Dgies?

Many here do not even know who Spiro was. Now there is a fine character comparison: Spiro vs. Heels Up Harris

Afraid not. Spiro was a convicted crook. He accepted bribes in return for awarding federal and state contracts up and down the East Coast.

Ms. harris, no matter what you think of her, is an upstanding citizen who never has been convicted of anything.

<<patting myself on the back>>. I called 8-3 in the nonconference, although I had quite a few of the w's and L's mixed up. So, I'll call 13-7-and we sweep Villanova, while losing to Gtown.

[MUDPT]

8-12.

8-3 is great, but also a few close wins with 3 big losses. Will regress to the mean in the close games in the Big East.

[tower912]

8-3 is a nice achievement.   Now there is film and MU is not going to catch anybody by surprise   8-12.

[mileskishnish72]

82

You count on one hand the games lost that he should have won.  there are not many games you can rattle off that he lost against lower competition.

Dicky V rattles off the one occasion when he got lucky every time he's near a microphone and there's even a tangential mention of MU, how he bested his "good friend" Al.

Going with 8.

[Goose]

Dickie V definitely has one of the games that MU should have won.

7-13 is my guess.

L vs. UCONN

W vs. Creighton
W vs. PC
L @ Gtown
W vs. Depaul
L vs. SHU

The last 6 games are relatively easy.  If we can find a way to go 6-8 if the first 14, we have a good shot of making the tourney.  But 6-8 in the first 14 is a pretty big ask based on how this team has looked against good teams.

For everyone who assumes UConn is an automatic L, you should watch some of their games.  I've watched probably almost as much UConn as I have MU, and noticed that they don't handle the press or aggressive D very well right now.  If that holds, we really do have a shot to do damage there, even with Sanogo.

Not guaranteeing any wins, but I actually think our shot vs UConn is better than some of the other BE teams.

Without Sanogo (and maybe without Martin), I agree that we have a fair chance at winning at home. I saw some of the same weaknesses sometimes that have seen. Not as confident as you seem to be with Sanogo back on their team.

What record do you predict for the Big East schedule?

I'll start and say 6-14

(16-15, 8-12)

If they can find a way to flip 2 of those and finish (18-13, 10-10) I think they get in.

[wisblue]

I'm guessing 8-12.

[Newsdreams]

My optimistic prediction 9-11
