22-23 W-L Predictions

[withoutbias]

What's LOL is the time you spend going through posters histories to try to find erroneous posts.  What's also LOL is you are too big of kitten to make any predictions or contribute to the actual basketball discussion as your general M.O. here is to inflame.  Sad.

Coming from the guy who can't go a day without posting what someone thought about a coach over half of a decade ago...LOL.

Oh, and blames his obsessive posting about that coach on the posters who engage in the conversation with you as to why you've been banned multiple times from both this site and the other MU basketball forum site...also LOL.

Dweeb.

I'm going to say not much. Maybe Wrightsil would be an upgrade over Gold.  Ross has been a solid role. I don't think Ellis would have been much more than that.

But our fate rests with the big 4.

Big 5. Stevie on the defensive end is just as important.

Uh...you claimed today that you thought they would "steal some from the likes of Uconn," but a month ago you said "they aren't beating Uconn."

Its not that you predicted something wrong. You apparently didn't remember what your prediction even was.

I'm not going to sit and argue about what I predicted, so I'll say it once and if you can't follow then that's on you.

If you look at my predictions, before the season started, I picked them to beat Creighton and UConn both at home.  After watching a month or so of the season I then said UConn was going to be 2 losses.  They just looked too good winning their 1st 12 or 13 by double digits.

What I failed to realize is just how real Marquette was/is.  They are better than I could've imagined.  Preseason I picked them to beat Creighton and UConn simply because the games were in Milwaukee.  Turns out they may have won because they actually are just better.  Even some of the games I got right I was wrong in why I thought they'd win.

This is...something.

Guys, he admitted he had some bad takes on Marquette. What more do you want?

You did not need to debate with these guys.Look at the posters that are giving you a hard time and decide if it is worth debating over. IMO, maybe if everyone flat out ignored bias he would go bother people on another board.

It would seem that they've got something like this in mind:

Maybe not exaggerating what his bad takes were in the first place.

Took until the last day of February, but they exceeded my preseason win total expectation. Said 23-8, now we're 24-6 with one to go. Sorry I doubted this team.
