Now that the schedule has been reviewed, I am going with 17-10 heading in to A-10 tournament, with a stranglehold on an NIT bid and needing at least 2 A-10 tourney wins to have a shot at the Big show.....
21-8 with a loss in the A-10 final would get us in the tournament, unless we lose by 30 to UConn, BC, Charlotte, Xavier, UAB, etc, and only beat Savannah St. , BU, Hartford, and Duquesne, etc.....not likely.
I would be thrilled with the season with 17 regular season wins, and even more importantly, the return of good attendance and excitement ( which goes hand in hand with getting an NIT home game....). If we get more than that, and I will be very pleasantly surprised.

Re: win total
Given that we missed out on an NIT bid last year with 16 wins and a schedule very similar (and maybe even slightly stronger) than this year's, we might need 18 or 19 just to make the NIT.Chris20 wrote:Now that the schedule has been reviewed, I am going with 17-10 heading in to A-10 tournament, with a stranglehold on an NIT bid and needing at least 2 A-10 tourney wins to have a shot at the Big show.....

Or not losing in the first round of the A-10 tournament to a bad and depleted team.MullinsManiac wrote:Given that we missed out on an NIT bid last year with 16 wins and a schedule very similar (and maybe even slightly stronger) than this year's, we might need 18 or 19 just to make the NIT.Chris20 wrote:Now that the schedule has been reviewed, I am going with 17-10 heading in to A-10 tournament, with a stranglehold on an NIT bid and needing at least 2 A-10 tourney wins to have a shot at the Big show.....
You know, say what you will about America, 13 bucks still gets you a hell of a lot of mice.
I agree with Kosty - Although I think LASalle and/or URI can be turned to W's if the team gells after XMAS. One way the team might gell is the opposition proactice team will have many real McCoys to practice against.Kosty wrote:I have them at 18-9 and 10-6 in league.
Out of league losses: BC, UCan't and UAB
In league losses: @Rhody, @LaSalle, @Temple, @GW, Charlotte and Dayton.
Still, it is about progress, momentum and building excitment. I think we are bubblicious for the NCAA, have to win A10, which will be tough with Charlotte especially IMO.
BTW, do we even know if there is going to be a post-season NIT yet, since the NCAA bought it out?
Feeling entitled is JUST a feeling...

I think the point was that if Lappas was here, the expectation of fans and media, with this schedule), would be a 20 win season. That is not to say Lappas could have done that (although I am not sure why we are discussing Vox's cousin anyway), but just that it probably would have been what was expected of this team regardless of the coach.
I think you have to cut some slack for a new program getting put in place. But this team should be very successful.
