Anyone have a list of the teams we play next year?
Quote from: Marco Baldi on June 09, 2016, 12:56:06 PMFor those saying 15 wins.Who are the in conference wins coming against?We'll take one or both from DePaul, then we'll be absolutely no less than 40-45% chance in the home games against the other BE teams not named Villanova or Xavier. We'd also have a realistic chance to steal 1 or 2 non-DePaul road games.The 11-12 team won 13 games against a tougher schedule, and that team was worse than the team we'll have next year. Good thing you don't set lines in Vegas or they'd be broke.Tha Kid is right. 14.5 is probably what the actual line would be.

We don't know if we'll have players of that caliber. Can't say that this team is better than that one. Ponds could average 19 a game. He could average 4. We don't know how he'll adjust to the BE.

Yes, all those guys were freshmen and they had no true bigs other than Gods Gift, no true PG and zero depth. Not one player of any experience whatsoever on that team. They were bad. Next year's team should be a little better than that team simply because there is a frontcourt and a PG. Plus its a more watered down conference and we should get 2-3 more wins than that team did.

Harkless, Gift, Garrett and Pointer were raw, but do we really have something better?

Also have Owens off the bench which gives us 3 true bigs, 2 more than we had in that 11-12 season and all 3 should be better than Gift was.

Perhaps Zendon can teach Sima how to rebound. Or Maybe Owens can.

My point was that Baldi's original O/U of 12 is way too law as this team should win a couple more games than that 11/12 team
Richmond has never called a timeout, made a sub, prepared a team for a game, led a film session, ran a practice, and plenty of other things coaches at this level had to do thousands of times before they got the level of The big east.

By that logic there are thousands of high school coaches with career losing records who are more qualified to coach in the Big East than is HOF er Mitch Richmond, who played for inter alia Lon Kruger, Dick Motta, Don Nelson, Phil Jackson, John Thompson, and Lenny Wilkins. Possible he learned something about basketball during that time? No, because he never cut his teeth calling a time out in a CYO game. Once again, coaching is not hard. If it was, fewer complete and utter nice persons would be successful at it.
Coaching is hard
