I'm not here to say I'm right or wrong.

Glad you've apparently turned over a new leaf, because in past seasons you boasted about the ones you got right. Which is ok, but it's hard to have it both ways on Scoop.

Unlike our friend, I did look at the OOC schedule.  A win at Purdue would be shocking and Gard obviously always gets it done so I do have us losing at Madison. 

I think 9-2 is a real possibility but that assumes we'd win all of IU, Maryland, and Oklahoma so I'm going to allow for a loss in one of those 3 to give us 8-3 non-con.  7-4 would be our floor and that would be very disappointing.

Tourney team.  If we avoid the 8/9 match-up, I think this team could be playing its best ball in March and make the Sweet 16.  Maybe a tad optimistic but that's my hope.

By the end of the year, I think this team will remind people of 2023. I have us starting 9-0 before dropping games at Purdue & Bucky. While Indiana, Maryland, Dayton, & Oklahoma could all be in the at-large mix, I just think we'll be a more cohesive unit than them in November, especially the two at home.

As far as the Big East, I have us losing at UConn, Creighton, St John's, Providence, & Georgetown. We might lose one at home, but I also think 4 of those are winnable on the road. I really don't rate SHU, Xavier, Butler, or Nova very highly and would be a touch disappointed if that's not 7-8 wins. Just too much roster/coaching uncertainty. DePaul actually unnerves me more than some of the more likely (on paper) tourney teams.

By the end of the year, I think Chase is solid & in the NBA Draft conversation, but I think Sean & Zaide will be the breakout stars, while our front court will be better than anyone expects. Offensively, we're going to play lightning fast, get a ton of quality shots, and play efficient even without dominant individual scorers. Defensively, we're going to be a nightmare perimeter matchup with just enough interior presence to be really good. I also think the defensive TO rate will help juice the offense in transition.

19-12. Fun team with a lot of promise, but ultimately not being able to shoot the 3-ball costs them in March and MU misses the tournament.

Maybe I'm crazy but I think this will be a good 3 point shooting team.

I love the realistic optimism expressed here, brew. (Though I'm saying we ain't losing to the Weasels!)

We're planning to go to the game at DePaul ... and like you I'm more concerned about that one than some of the others.
