2/8 Louisville
2/11 @Cincinnati
2/14 @Marquette
2/19 Duke
2/22 Seton Hall
2/24 Syracuse
2/28 @Depaul
3/3 Georgetown
3/6 @Notre Dame
3/10 BE Tourny

*Please try to refrain from Norm bashing.  I was just wondering if anyone thought we could go .500

Its gonna be close.  I see a split with Seton Hall and a win against Depaul.

Hopefullly we get revenge against Cincy or pull an upset against Cuse.

3 wins total or 15-16 entering the BE tourney.

I am always optimistic so I am going to say we go 5 and 5 and go into the Big East Tournament at 17 wins and 14 losses.

We win 1 in the BET and end up 18 and 15. But I do not think 18 and 15 will get us in the NIT.

We need that same STJ team that beat ND to finally show up again. I just don't see it.

Everyone beats ND. My CYO men's league team just took them down 76-75. Play man to man let Harangody get his points lockup K Mac, guaranteed a win!

I hear you but I am referring to the way STJ played with intensity the ENTIRE GAME. We need to play complete games.

I say we sweep Seton Hall, win @ Depaul, I think Cincy is a toss up, though with boothe and thomas back I think we SHOULD win. I also think we win against either Cuse or G-town. So thats anywhere from 3-5 more BE wins.

We've got 4 winnable / tossup games in
SH twice, Cinn & Depaul.
Plus the  other 6 very tough games.

I expect for 2 of 1st group & 1 from 2nd,
making us 15-16 (6-12BE).

If we win 4 instead, a good finish, considering the injuries.

My optimistic prediction:

2/5 @Seton Hall (Win)
2/8 Louisville (Lose)
2/11 @Cincinnati (Win)
2/14 @Marquette (Lose)
2/19 Duke (Lose)
2/22 Seton Hall (Win)
2/24 Syracuse (Win... yes I said it!)
2/28 @Depaul (Win)
3/3 Georgetown (Lose)
3/6 @Notre Dame (Possible Win)
3/10 BE Tourny

That would put us at 500.

Now let's go through my "likely" scenario:

2/5 @Seton Hall (win)
2/8 Louisville (lose)
2/11 @Cincinnati (win)
2/14 @Marquette (lose)
2/19 Duke
2/22 Seton Hall (win)
2/24 Syracuse (lose)
2/28 @Depaul (win)
3/3 Georgetown (lose)
3/6 @Notre Dame (lose)
3/10 BE Tourny

7 BE Wins.

I am going to go opposite and say if we go 18 and 15 with one win in BE tourney... we will get an NIT bid.
