Losses: @OSU, @Xavier, *Iowa, @Memphis, @Temple, @UConn, @Houston, @USF

22-8

I think J-Hub's prediction represents something closer to a best case scenario and a worst case scenario sees us with ~10 losses and bubble status.

 

[Loser Mentality]

I think we go undefeated in Non Conference.....Potential loss would be Tennessee.

In Conference, I think we may drop 2 gms.....Potential losses would be Wichita, and Houston.

So 28-2 or 27-3 It's just my thought.

I'm optimistic because in theory, we really didn't lose anything this off season lol, seriously.

Brooks****Just lost inches, Broome*****Couldn't get off the bench, Johnson****Just Flashes and he's gone, Jennifer***never ran PG the Coach did LOL!, the rest of the guys we lost don't even matter.

I think we are about to see some up an down basketball, with young talent that will have more of an impact than just 1 young player a year.

Whoa.

I get being optimistic. But man, that’s a lot of expectations for a first year coach in a league with some really great coaches.

That's my call too. 8 losses give or take 2. Hopefully not too many early bumps and then finish strong. We have some good talent but just a lot of questions with the new regime getting things ironed out early enough. We need one of the 5's to emerge as a solid play and I include Diara in that group because Scott will be one of the bigs on the court obviously.

Ohio State returns everyone except for 2 guys, they will be really good this year.

Has there been any word on Cumberland? Will he be ready to go game 1?

pretty sure i read he returned to practice last week. it sounds like its something he just plays with but there was no real reason to push him in the offseason.
