[GOO]

All right, first time I've done one of these predictions.  I am normally too negative.  If Buzz could win with lesser talent and teams, let's see what he can do this year with a more complete team, but inexperience off the bench:

H Mount St. Mary's W
H Norfolk State W
N Winthrop W
N Drake/Mississippi W
N Paradise Jam Game 3  L I think we win it, but I'll put in a loss of a game in the tournament.

H Jacksonville W
A Wisconsin L
N Washington W  I'll go with the W, but wouldn't be shocked by a L.
H Green Bay W
H Northern Colorado W
A LSU L Ya, we can win it, but since I took Washington on a neutral court, I'll go with a L on the road

H Milwaukee W
H Vanderbilt W    Could be a loss, so I'll make up for it with a L on another game we could win.

H Villanova W
A Georgetown W
A Syracuse L
H St. John's W  It shuold be a good game with a lot of action.
H Pittsburgh W Could be a loss, but I'll give the L to Louisville. We'll probably loose to Pitt or UL.

H Louisville L
A Providence L  I don't know that it will be this game, but we'll loose one road game that we should win.  Providence will have some talent.

H South Florida W
A Villanova W  Yep.  We get one here on the road.  This is the year to do it.

H Seton Hall W
A Notre Dame L
A DePaul W      

H Cincinnati W
A Connecticut L
H Rutgers W
A West Virginia W
A Cincinnati L  To make up for a couple of road games I put as W's including Nova.

H Georgetown L Probably a loss, but we could sneak one out here.
***************************

31 Games.  
BE: 12-6 (Top 4 finish).   13-5 could happen if we get one on the road at Georgetown or Providence.  

There is a decent possibility of going 13-5 if Jamil and Vander are starting caliber BE players and someone backs up the point well.  No obvious weaknesses this year other than shooting and back up point, but Buzz has normally shown the ability to score points with different weaknesses.  We finally have a team with some size and a player at each position (no one has to play completely out of position).

Overall:       21-10.  So we'll probably win one more as I think this team gets 22 wins.  Peach Jam or LSU probably gets us to 22 wins.  A win at Georgetown or Providence, etc, and 23 is not out of the realm of possibility.

Less than 21 wins and I'd think we underperformed.  23 wins and I'd call it a great season, but not shocking.

Wow the air is thin in Denver today...

I guess he isn't holding back.  Has the look of a final four run with those numbers.

I guess he isn't holding back.  Has the look of a final four run with those numbers.

I can't believe he thinks MU will lose at Cincy!

You da man! Predicting a national championship perhaps?  I love your optimism. 

[denverMU]

Yes, I am VERY optimistic.  I'd rather err on the side of MU.  To paraphrase Ben Crenshaw the night before the US Ryder Cup team made the largest comback of all time..."I've got a good feeling about MU this season".
