Conference Record

Ok, conference season is upon us -- thought I'd take the temperature as to what we're honestly expecting our conference record to be.

I happen to think you "13-3" guys are nuts...but I sure hope you're right.

Voted 11-5. I would be happy with 4-4 on the road and am factoring in one head scratcher we don't expect to lose.

Shit... do I go with how I feel today, or do I play optimist and vote how I felt two weeks ago?

barring injuries ill say 11-5, which would be great considering how unpredictable the a10 is. i think we'll split st joes, and drop games at GW and Dayton. then i think we'll play one or two games at Miami level and lose an unexpected one or two

O goodie, a lunchtime project.

vs. STJ Win
vs. STB Win
@GM Win
@RICH Loss
vs. FORD Win
@STB Loss
@STJ Loss
vs. LAS Win
@URI Win
vs. GM Win
@GW Loss
vs. VCU Win
vs. URI Win
@ DAY Loss
@ DUQ Win
vs. STL Win

So 11-5 is my guess with a perfect record at home in both conference and non-conference. I also have them beating Elon which would give them a 24-6 regular season record in my world.

7-1 at home and 4-4 on the road is my final answer.

And I think we'll beat Elon.

Final regular season of 24-6. I will not be surprised with anywhere from 22-25 regular season wins, which is a bump up from my preseason prediction of 19.

I went with 11-5. My expectations have been lowered a tad after each of the recent wins.

I had predicted 10-6 before the season started, raised it to 12-4 a couple of weeks ago, and now I backtracked a bit to 11-5.

A few games ago, I would have said 11-5 with a strong possibility of 12-4. Today I say 11-5 with a strong possibility of 10-6.

With the way we've played at home as of late, anything is possible at the Mullins. But we've also played well the majority of the time we are away from Amherst, so anything is possible on the road as well.

As for the A-10 itself, Butler and Xavier are gone, but GW and Dayton look much better than I expected. Should be a tough season as always.
Hope they set the tone early before getting into real meat of conference play.

I'll stay with my preseason 11 - 5. (And grin when they go 13 - 3.) In October 12 - 1 seemed like a fantasy.

I posted this in the Polls thread, but something to chew on when making your prediction.....

No team in the A10 finished worse than .500 in the OOC. George Mason did the worst at 7-7.

fenway617 · Post by **fenway617** » Mon Jan 06, 2014 3:44 pm

St. Bonaventure (309th SOS best win vs. Canisius) has played crap schedule though. Duquesne & GM have as well. In the past several years Umass has played a weak schedule and enter A10 play over .500 and that did them no good.

But I still think Umass loses @ St. Bonnie.

I'll say 11-5 as well but honestly VCU and SLU at home worries me more than SJU or SBU on the road.
