Schedule...Finally

[Cin City]

Well, we can finally see the schedule (officially). What does everyone think?

At first glance I saw 22-9.
Playing devils advocate, and if certain pieces step up, I could see 24-7.
If guys don't fill roles, 20-11.

I'll stick with 22-9. Which is just knee jerk at this point.

11-2 OOC (losses @Miss St. UCLA)
11-7 Conference (@Wichita, @Temple, @Memphis, @Houston, @SMU, @UCF, @UConn)

Really hope I'm wrong about conference games. The road isn't real forgiving...especially if guys don't step up.

Again...just spitballing. Feel free to argue (nicely) and toss your own thoughts in here as well.

I think 18-13 to 22-9 is the range. I kinda fear closer to the lower range. But I’m just nervous

Just read that Shaq's son had heart surgery and will be out for the season.

Still think they get us at home. Just a gut feeling this early.

18-13 lmao. Come on now. We will be five games better than that for sure. I know we lost some big pieces but we’ve still got some really great players and some pretty good ones coming in.

I'll hop on the 22-9 train as well.

OOC losses (3): Baylor/Ole Miss, @UNLV, @Miss St

AAC losses (6): @Tulsa, @Temple, @Houston, UCF, @SMU, @UCF

I told you I was just nervous. I’ll settle on 21 wins

Unlv? Really?

Unlv? Really?

I know they lost a lot but I think the combination of a first true road game and long flight will lead to an underwhelming performance on our end.

In general I think we're going to really struggle on the road compared to last season.
