Call Your Shot Big East Edition

[Uncle Rico]

What record do you predict for the Big East schedule?

I’ll start and say 6-14

[MarquetteDano]

I think we struggle early but come on strong to finish the season... 10-10.

[bilsu]

The best I can hope for is 8-12. MU will not do well against fundamentally sound teams.

[🏀]

7-13

[wadesworld]

8-12

[Goose]

12-8

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

9-11

[brewcity77]

11-9, which has us squarely on the bubble.

[Galway Eagle]

8 or 9 wins.

[Miss Katie’s]

10-10

[MUfan12]

Feels like 8-12.

[DoctorV]

I’ll go with 9-11

[79Warrior]

8 or 9 wins.

[Scoop Snoop]

9-11

[JakeBarnes]

11-9.

Butler 2x
Grown 2x
St John's 2x
DePaul 2x
Xavier 1x
Creighton 1x
Coin flip on last one. Probably SH? Prov?

Don't see us beating Uconn with Sanogo. Maybe split one with SH.

Nova will be a handful for this squad.

11-9.

Xavier 1x
Creighton 1x

You have Butler in there twice. I put the chances at going 8-0 against Georgetown, Butler, St. John’s, and DePaul at 0.0%

Fixed. And we'll see.

[MU82]

I put the chances at going 8-0 against Georgetown, Butler, St. John’s, and DePaul at 0.0%

I'd put it at higher than 0.0%, but I know you were going for hyperbole and I agree with your thesis.

I'm still thinking about all this, but I definitely won't have us going 8-0 there.

[Uncle Rico]

Even Al never went 8-0 in a season against those 4

I honestly wasn’t saying it as hyperbole. When is the last time an MU team won their 8 easiest conference games? I don’t think this team has anywhere near the talent to where going into a game against any conference opponent you think it’s a W for sure. To do that twice against 4 different teams just seems impossibly unlikely to me.

Against those 4 teams I would very pleased if we go 6-2.  I fear we will go 5-3 or worse.

Though I think professional statisticians would say the chance is better than 0.0%, again, we agree. Even Buzz and Crean and KO and Al teams that were a lot less flawed than this one lost many games they were "supposed to win."

[fjm]

I was riding the 10-10 train hard 2 weeks ago.
Pencil me in for 7-13.

[Nukem2]

8-12 unless the 3 point shooting gets better and the defensive rebounding gets better.

[Goose]

82

You count on one hand the games lost that he should have won. That was his trademark and something he held as a benchmark. Now, if you want to say he played down to competition, that happened many times a season. Many games were won with 3-5 minutes of high quality ball. Aside from his final season, there are not many games you can rattle off that he lost against lower competition.
