Is it too Early for predictions on the season? I think there is a lot of POTENTIAL with this team. However, I will say there are red flags that they either need to address, have improvement in or try and negate with the other positives. This is also my predictions with a healthy team this season.
Positives (at this time)
-Guard Scoring
-Depth (hopefully an 8-9 player rotation)
- Speed out on the perimeter
- returning 12 players from last year
Red Flags (at this time)
-Center position still in question/scoring from 5-position
-rebounding- guards expected to rebound a large amount
-defense consistently
My predictions on the season:
Non-Conference Record: 8-4
Conference Record: 10-8
Overall Record: 18-12
Key:
*-Conference game
Neu-Neutral site
@-Road Game
Jacksonville- Win (double-digit win)
@Arizona State- Loss (early season tough road single digit loss)
George Washington- Win (single digit win)
American- Win (double-digit win)
Neu-UConn- Loss (yikes)
Neu-South Florida/Syracuse- Loss (single-digit back and forth loss)
Neu-*likely Oklahoma or Buffalo- Win (single digit back and forth win)
Bradley- Win (single digit tough/physical win)
UTSA- Win (Double Digit Win)
North Carolina- Win (Whalen usually gets one surprising or shocking non-conference win/by 1-4 points)
*Nebraska- Win (single digit win/homecourt advantage helps)
*@Michigan- Loss (double digit loss)
Ohio- Win (double digit win)
@Drake- Loss (I say single digits but still loss)
*Northwestern- Loss (single digit hard-fought loss)
*@Rutgers- Win (single digit win that will be tougher than should be)
*Maryland- Loss (20+ point loss, we don’t have the game on either side of the ball to keep close)
*@Wisconsin- Win (double digit win)
*Ohio St- Win (I say a knock-down drag out 1-5-point close win)
*Iowa- Loss (close single digit loss that Clark will decide the outcome late)
*@Michigan State- Loss (double digit loss)
*@Purdue- Win (double digit win)
*Wisconsin- Win (double digit win)
*@ Indiana- Loss (double digit loss)
*Michigan State- Loss (single digit close loss)
*@Iowa- Loss (double digit loss)
*Rutgers- Win (double digit win)
*@Nebraska- Win (this is truly a 50/50 call, but I’ll go tight 1-3-point win)
*Illinois- Win (For some reason they have been the gophers thorn, but I say double-digit win)
*@Penn State-Win (close/possibly come from behind single digit win)
