I stopped listening to the hype after JTIII had 3 McDonald's AA's in Munroe, Freeman, and Wright and still could not win a game in the NCAA's or NIT's with that trio.

That had to be the biggest mystery in college Bball. In 2009, we had 3 McDs in Monroe, Freeman, and Wright, and 1 Jordan Classic in Summers, and we don't even make NCAAs tournament. I could not think of any other programs top off my head, in which had such a poopy result with such a stacked roster.

Virginia and lose then turnaround and lose in the 1st Rd of the NCAA's to Ohio by double digit points.

I generally feel that we don't come prepared to play in the NCAAs. Teams come at us and we wilt. Also, the second half starts this year have been atrocious. We come out of the half in a coma. This is on you coach!

I could not think of any other programs top off my head, in which had such a poopy result with such a stacked roster. Finally, something we can agree on. The 2009 team was a bit weird. On paper, it was a pretty solid team, but in practice things just never meshed or came together. The 2010 team was actually excellent and arguably JT3's third best team ever (after 2007 and 2008), at least on paper. It's unfortunate that team blew it against Ohio State. I really think that team was talented enough to go far in the NCAA tournament. A few years back in 2013, Kentucky had a pretty good roster on paper and missed the tournament too. There are just some years where things don't mesh, even if a good roster is in place. I think that's what happened in 2009 for us, and Kentucky in 2013. That's not where we find ourselves this year, though. The 2009 and 2010 rosters had a lot more talent than this year's.

Had to fix it for you... If it had been Ohio State then it would have been a more respectable loss.

Agree 100% with all of this. 2009 was one of the most painful CBB seasons ever for me. I think the biggest highlight of that year was a tremendous win at UConn in very late December 2008.

Back to my original 18-13 prediction with the win today. Would that get us in the Tournament or do we need 19?

Would that get us in the Tournament or do we need 19? I think the Big East wreaked enough havoc in non-conference play to where 10-8 in this conference gets you in. Need to avoid losses to basement dwellers in st johns and depaul, losses to either of the two could really hurt our chances. Also that game against UConn at home seems very winnable given how they've been playing this season... If we can split against marquette, seton hall, providence and get all four against st johns and depaul that's seven wins right there. Supposing we handle UNCG and beat Uconn that gives us 16 wins. We then need two to three wins against the Villanova, Creighton, Xavier, Butler crowd, which is definitely possible but will be tough. If we sweep any of Marquette/SH/Provi then we likely have ourselves a trip to march madness, presuming we don't get swept by either of the other two.

Did not make a preseason prediction, but I have a hard time envisioning 9 or 10 BE wins off what I saw Wednesday. If Peak misses any appreciable amount of time, we could top out this year at 14 or 15 wins.

I also think I overrated ourselves at home considering it is no advantage. Are you still predicting an 0-3 BE start heading into the Butler game Jan. 7th)? That's still the original prediction from before the season. I haven't done a revised forecast of the season which would likely look a lot different than the optimistic 10-8 BE record I had included. So far I'm there in the overall record thus far with a few games being different so maybe I'm onto something at 18-13.
