Projected with only 1 loss being WKU on the road. That website is the one i always use and is very accurate in its predictions (not the final score) but if you're a 20 pt favorite on their website, you are 99% going to win that game.

Really impressed with our basketball team. Can have a really special year, and if we do go 23 or 24-1, no way we don't get an at large, especially if we lose in title game.

Would be very tough to lose only one game. 25 games are a lot to not have a couple hiccups. But with West and Kinsey leading this team, I don’t see many games not being focused. Those 2 are unique in their preparation. A lot will depend on how “consistant” 3-4 of the others become and how much Obinna keeps improving. But this team is exciting.

In basketball the Wright States, Ohios and Toledos are much better than a Rice football team.  You don't even want to take an L to Rice in football especially a sub .500 Rice squad.

Agree. Basketball is just a different animal. Way more quality teams. We have been over this a million times.

Didnt you say a 2-7 start?

Didnt you say a 2-7 start?

This is what I said:

Coppin State (W)
Tenn St.    (w)
Wright St (Toss)
Akron    (L)
CoC      (L)
Ohio   (L)
Toledo (W)
UNI (L)
UNC - Ash (L)

Reality:

Coppin State (W)
Ark St    (w)
Wright St (W)
Akron    (DNP)
CoC      (W)
Ohio   (W)
Toledo (W)
UNI (DNP)
UNC - Ash (L)

I was only wrong with two CoC and Ohio. Two of the toughest teams on schedule UNI and Akron are no plays.

You don't need it.  You're too far out of it for far too long already.

So you had us winning 3. We have already won 4 with four to go. You are the master for sure.

Just to add 2 cents to this stirring thread.  Don't believe UNC-Asheville is all that formidable.  Believe they're now 3-2 and I note that about a week or thereabouts ago East Tenn had to cancel their game with UNC-A because the NC team had COVID related issues.  Game was to be played at some Indiana Casino facility in Western NC.  Just hope that they have quarantined and recovered sufficiently to enable them to be in Huntington next Tuesday evening!

Well, since Toledo convincingly took care of that one loss "thingy", it looks like nothing but clear skies and SMOOTH SAILING for Herd basketball from now until the end of the season!!  :D
