Season Predictions Thread

I'm feeling 20 wins and a little sweating on the bubble before the team puts it together in February.

20 wins before February would put them at 20-4 going into the month.

Close to what I would predict.

7-4 Non-conf
14-6 B1G
3-1 B1G tourney
24-11 #6 seed in NCAA

I'll go with this until the team shows me a little more than they did against Quincy. I think BU has his work cut out for him in finding the right style and combinations to be successful. Hopefully I am underestimating the team and coaching staff here.

On this, the day of our first game, I'll give my expectations. These are lukewarm takes at best.

I expect that we will fall out of the Top 25 at some point in early December. I expect that by the end of January, we will be back in the Top 25 for good.

I think whether or not we win a regular season title will come down to the last three games. I want to say we will at least split our away games at Columbus and West Lafayette to win a share. But a top 3 finish will still qualify as a good season in my book.

We'll have one player receive first team B10 honors but I have no idea who. Could be any of our starting five.

We go into the tournament a 4 seed and lose a close one to a #1 in the S16. Coleman, RJ, Skyy all return for another year to take care of their unfinished business. We win a Natty. Andy Katz gets Brad Underwood's face tattooed on his bicep.

We look back on this year as a crucial one for that team's development.

24-7, 15-5
3 seed
Elite 8 Loss

This is likely going to be a group that hits some speedbumps in B10 play but is dangerous in the tournament format because of the ability to switch everything on the perimeter.

I honestly don't see us winning the league with the lack of B10 experience on the roster and would be extremely happy with a top 4 finish. The roster this year is built for tourney success and not B10 success.
