New Thoughts on how many games BU will win

[AZ BU Fan]

How many games will BU win without SM and TB?

I'd have to say about 10 games fewer than I thought they would with a full roster - 14 games.

LATE UPDATE - make that 10 W's this season.

14 (only 13 against DI competition)

We may go o for the conference on the road...we are truly a bad team right now and a soft team. Danny Adams was being wayyy too nice to the Catamounts...they are an awful team too. Jackson St may be the only non con game we win the rest of the way. This looks like a MO 9-20 type swan song for Jim this year. No excuse not to stick with the bigs longer during the stretch run up 12 and work the ball iside to draw fouls. They had 11 in 1st half and you only got them 8 more in the 2nd half???cmon jim!!! Its right in front of you!!!! Play 2 bigs at once and go inside-out! What is the da*n obsession with 4 guards??????

Hopefully they make it to 8 wins but doesn't really matter anymore. This team has virtually no chance of winning the MVC tourney and will likely finish 8th-10th in the Valley. Will just be nice to get the youngins some good in game experience before next season.

It's amazing to think that just 1 month ago we were all talkin about a for sure 3rd place or higher finish. Now the season is pretty much over in just 7 games.

10 wins overall

4-14 in the conference

Hope I'm wrong on both predictions but don't think so

sounds about right. this is going to be an ugly, ugly season. bradley fans should be asking a lot of questions about maniscalco. if this was known all summer and into the pre-season, why was he playing at all?

there is less than a 10% chance that this team has a winning record, and they're going to get pounded in the valley.

I agree with you there...if I continue to see little coaching from the assistants, continued lack of change from JL, and the same old same old, I am resigned that he should not be here next season...

This is his shot really to change a lot of minds out there and prove that he can coah and can make changes on the fly

Your right about his big chance to prove a lot of people wrong as far as coaching skills go, I do not see any buy outs happening even though our attendance is going to plummet big time, doubt if there are any sell-outs this season, tired of waiting for next year again, not blaming anyone for the bad luck we seem to continually have, but the one thing that bothers me the most about this program is not having good inside play as we have struggled in that area for 4 years now even though we have had different players come and go, you cannot win championships without having good post play period.

Before I was us play I thought we could get 9 maybe 10 games, now I think 7 or 8 with 2 or 3 MVC wins would be good.

Last season, it was over after 9 games.
It was a long time ago that we felt good heading into the Valley season as Braves fans. Maybe in 2006-'07?
After the first 10 non-conf. games, we're not even thinking about NIT or NCAA, but rather trying to turn the season around. I used to enjoy following other Valley teams at the start of the season, but now I can't really get into it since BU has done so poorly before the Valley season begins. (last 4 seasons)
Man, if we had won last night, we'd be talking with a different tone today.

So true. But the one guy that needs to know that and believe it seems to think differently.
