Long Beach State is the only major stinker. Houston will hurt the conference if they’re really that bad. UNC-A looks to be somewhat better. They finished #299 in the final Sagarine Ratings from last year. I’ll try to bring this post back at season’s end to see how close these were.

By the way, we’re at 43.

3

Geez we play some dogs.

That cable car classic is going to be a hotly awaited tourney. :rolleyes:

4

Central Connecticut State (Cable Car Classic) is #225.

So if those hold the Niners go 20-6. Happy with that?
6

I could live with that, however the 6 would either be to teams we shouldn’t lose to or to teams that would be considered “quality” wins.

Kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don’t thing.

No room for error this year, or the RPI goes way down.

Nice avatar JH. Makes me think of the guy in the pearl Lexus who I always pass going to work. Everyday. I kid you not.

I just wanted to ask why this is the way it is:

[b] 21 Xavier-Ohio [/b]

?

How many high major Xaviers are there? Heck how many D1 Xaviers are there?

22 regular season wins will be necessary with that schedule for a decent seeding if our opponents have historically similar seasons.

One and only one.

BTW, there are now 332 Division 1 teams with the additions of such hoops powerhouses as Longwood, Northern Colorado (the other UNC), and North AND South Dakota States!!!

Thanks NA, I stole it from a State fan. Love the new quote as much as it scares the hell out me.

He picks his nose everyday???

[i]Originally posted by LeftyNiner[/i]@Nov 8 2004, 04:36 PM [b] 27 games by my count. I expect at least 22 wins. Anything less will be a disappointment. (edited after re-eval) This has to be the year.

[/b]


Agreed, anything less than 22 wins would be disappoiting. We should only lose @ Cincy, @ SLU, @UL, and one game to an Alabama team. With a margin of error, that gives us one more game we can lose.

I don’t want us to lose any of those, but those are the most likely that we will drop. Memphis doesn’t scare me, when is the last time they won in Halton?

I think 22 is possible. Why not let this be the year we win one in Saint Louis? The fact of the matter is, we can not stand more than one OOC loss, it's just not strong enough based on those numbers. Losing a conference game won't hurt so badly, but you know how the CUSA tournament always plays out, you need to get that bye and the matchups are more important than the seeds.

That's right! The Red Sox won the Series - this is the year for breaking curses!

I think we go 9-2 pre-conference, and then 13-3 in conference. Like everyone is saying - I just feel like this is the year.

15

Will 22-5 give us at least a 6 seed?

I think it should as long as the conference performs well and as long as we have enough quality wins, without any really bad loses.

Yeah but the Cubs again failed to make the playoffs and the Republicans won re-election.

St. Louis has another good team. I don’t think this is our year to win there.

18

OK, calm down on talking about an NCAA seed. We haven’t played a game yet.

19

Sideshow…the Republican’s winning the re-election does break the curse. The Redskins lost their last home game before the election, thus predicting the incumbent would lose. Had held true since 1933 when the team first moved to D.C.

I’m a Republican Skins fan…I was heart broken watching that game!

20

He!!, a #6 seed with 22-5 ? I think the team has to go 27-0, or better, to get an #8. :smiley:

The fans should have every reason to expect a minimum of 21 wins. Otherwise, Coach Bobby will have lots of 'splaning to do.

BTW, on the Xavier(OH) thing, check out where this guy went to school.
