Duke, Siena, Championship of Holiday Tourney and one game where we are favored that we lose ugly and throws all these boards into chaos.

Not sure, just predicting we have a bad loss. Did you predict they would lose to ST Francis on Louie night?

I think this team has middle of the pack Big East talent, with a log jam that is going to cause problems at the wing position and a truly awful coach! A solid coach would win 20 something with this team, Norm is not a solid coach. 14-16 wins!

It seems like everyone has gotten a little pessimistic. Almost everyone has us winning 20 (including Big East Tournament games) and yet basically nobody has us in the NCAA tournament. When is the last time a Big East team was .500 in conference with 20 wins and did not make the tournament? Most people have us at this. Shouldn't this put us in? I think we have a chance to be better than this, but I agree with most people that this is fairly realistic. My main point is doesn't this put us dancing?

I think because of our history of losing under Roberts,
people are hesitant to believe in SJU. I know I am.

I predicted 20 wins, and that's assuming everyone is healthy.
From the moment Roberts picked up a whistle players started dropping like flies.

One has a bad ankle, another a sprained pinky toe. It's always something.
More so than his coaching, Roberts has to find a way to keep his guys on the floor.

I don't know what we do in practice, but I do know things will change here the moment
we stop doing it.

I'll go with 18 wins in regular season, 9 in B.E. to go on the bubble for dancing.

Here is my optimistic scenario: 24 wins (yes I said it!) and 6 losses. (13 and 5 in conference).

Here is my worst case scenario: 14 wins and 16 losses (6 and 12 in conference).

Here is my prediction for the most likely scenario: 20 wins and 10 losses (10 and 8 in conference).

Hofstra may not be a quality win,
But that is an important game.

Otherwise, why do we have Norm coaching us?

no matter how i analyze the STJ schedule, the scenario i see this season is 21-11 (11-9 BE, including 1 BET win). i cannot be any more optimistic unless i see them play.
 
OOC losses will be @ Siena and @ Duke
 
i predict we win the holiday festival with wins against hofstra and difficult ivy league champions Cornell
 
as far as the big east goes:
 
due to our vets, we should collect a high home win % with home losses VILL, WV.
and wins with PROV, CINCY, DP, LOUIS, SH, MARQ, PITT
 
i have us winning 3 road games @ USF, RUT, DEP
with losses @ LOUIS, GTOWN, UCONN, PITT, ND, SYR
 
the win loss home/away is almost an inverse relation, but i think with the only team returning all 5 starters in the BE, we will be good enough to win @ home. and split the series with louis, pitt and sweep DP.
 
1 BET win ( we had one win last year, im assuming best case, we can win 1 tourney game, realistically speaking)
 
the newbie that will be the biggest contributer should be Dwight Hardy. with a depleted BE conference and a vet squad, i cannot see this team doing worse than last year or bad, but who knows with norm.
 


with 21-11 record, most likely NIT,

how do we get to the dance?
we need to acomplish 3 miraculous tasks....
 
beat either siena or duke
steal 1 away victory in the big east that i dont have predicted
win 1 more BET game....

that means 24-9 prob not realistic, but that is the scenario for the dance.

with all that being said, i agree with pmg, i have no confidence in norm, but at some point, if it does click with the coach, it should click with the players on the floor. i have more confidence in the players than norm himself. my call falls within consensus...20 reg season wins, 1 BET win..

lets see what happens on friday.
