Zero chance because Whitman has his back. 20+ wins is likely a best case scenario and anything but a lock.
20 wins is likely period.
I'm gonna try to get tickets for one or both games. Should be plenty of Illini fans in the house as AZ is basically Chicago West.
Noted. In Phoenix I generally frequent Lou Malnati's or Giordano's of which both opened up here in the past year and a half. Oregano's deep dish isn't too bad, either and they have a lot more locations.If visiting Tucson, go to Rocco's Little Chicago for some of the best deep dish I've had outside of Illinois.
Your prediction was, 20 wins is likely, but not a lock.Yep easy to criticize, harder to make predictions yourself, eh Blue. Just to be clear, that's based on the assumption that Ayo stays in Champaign.

So, your ultimate stance is that they could win 20 games, but they might not.
I wouldn't say that you drew a line in the Sand exactly.

I will be laying money on u16 if available.
14-17. We won't take one in Maui.

Over or under 18.5 wins. Whatcha got?
I was trying to decide to go with 17.5 or 18.5, but figured on Loyalty, I better go higher, due to the extreme optimism of off-season.
Regular season u18.5 ... But again, it premature without seeing the schedule.
Illinois @ Arizona on Sunday, November 10th. (Haven't seen a date for the Grand Canyon game)

Boy has the FBI probe slowed the wildcats down....Arizona has a commitment from Nico Mannion from Pinnacle High in Phoenix. Two time state champions. I saw him drop 57 against Chapparel in February. Pinnacle is near my daughters house. He is a top 10-15 recruit and will be tough competition for our guards. IMO best HS guard I’ve seen since Jalen Brunson.

I think you're still in the over optimistic camp, which isn't a surprise here. But I'd feel more comfortable on the under 20 as a betting man, but you can't say until you've seen how many cupcakes we schedule. As far as predictions, I was one of the closest on this most recent season:

I think that is a pretty good line, but I will take the over...we got 12 wins this year, with a brutal schedule, and a young team that was slow out of the gate...Not hard to imagine returning most of the team that we get out of the gate quicker, a bit easier schedule, improvement from the freshman can get us to 19.Over or under 18.5 wins. Whatcha got?
Listened to part of Beilein press conference yesterday, who most acknowledge is one of the best in the business. Talked about need to be flexible and adapt as a coach. Said the computer changed everything. Basic systems are scouted too well. Think Brad showed some signs of adaptation last year. Must continue. Coaches have to keep improving just like players.
