Predict BU's Record

You forgot the Red/White Scrimmage.

Seeing that someone HAS to lose that.... it's 30-1 my friends!

Da Braves!

21-9 record. 3 non-conference losses (Duke, Western Carolina, and either Loyola Marymount or Detroit), 12-6 record in conference.

Would agree about non-conf record but think WC is winnable-LM and Detroit are the 2 games that wiil be tough along w/ South Cal could give is trouble but we should prevail. A lot of posters have saying Detroit is weak but if they come together quickly they will be very strong as they have a very good recruiting class.
W/I the Valley MSU and WS scare me most and you know somehow we will lose at least 1 game to CU and 1 or 2 more that we should never have lost. Also don't count UNI out as they have some experience returning because of BJ uses his bench
20 wins is acheivable but figure we will find a way to lose 2-4 games we shouldn't and end up around 18 wins.

21-9 but most loses in the Valley. Still see me in St Louis at 2:30. Golly I hope I'm wrong. It could be much better ,lets hope go Braves.

They had better be playing at a different time then 2:30 because too much talent and experience for that to happe, no reason why this team won"t challenge Wichita for 1st, and should not finish worse then 3rd.

I figured 8-3 non-con record

13-5 conference record....losses @ CU, MSU, WSU and then losses to 2 of these teams at home.

so I am saying 21-8, possibly 22-8 or 22-9 depending on the Bracketbuster....

I would tend to agree with this. I really want BU to make that jump to the next level. Every year I think this is the year BU uses all the talent and makes a run.

It just seems every year that BU loses too many games that it should win. We have to start dominating at home again, and try to go at least .500 on the road in conference.

Well, sorry LilB, I don't feel I have to share with anybody why I selected 25-30. But when the season is over, I will gladly explain why we did or didn't get 25-30 wins. (just like horse racing, I'm a better handicapper AFTER the race is over)

I like this post! I voted 25-30, because I don't know I just have a special feeling about this year even more so than any other year. Why not dream big?

To paraphrase Ben Crenshaw, "Ah've got a good feelin' about this team. That's all ahm gonna say."

21-9, non con losses to USC, Detroit OR Jackson st, Western Carolina and Duke. 13-5 in Valley...all road losses to CU,UNI, WSU, MSU, and a surprise loss to start conf at ISU Blue. I think we finish 2nd or 3rd at worst barring our usual December injury and play Sunday for dancing privileges in what will be a 1 bid league again.

Man, I hope we learn from our mistakes at ISU Blue. Everyone was taking double-pump fade-away shots in 1st half. We should beat ISU Blue - not really a home-court advantage there. You could be right though, as everyone wants to get off to a great start when Valley play begins.
