Well I said 15-15 a doltish dumb prediction I wear with pride...team seems to be improving bringing others on board and Bentil has shocked the hoops world.
Sweet!!!

The weight is upon me (ouch!)...and I'm loving every minute of it!

The MODS on this board couldn't predict if the sun will rise tomorrow.
well two of them...and the other is fixated on students leaving hockey games.
two of them are my seatmates...think it's easy?

I expect my pre-season prediction is be exceeded.

I expect my pre-season prediction is be exceeded. GO PC PIZZA, SODA, GRINDERS!!! Yippee, give yourself a medal. Set the bar at NIT and then do cartwheels over an 11 seed after being ranked in the Top 10. Not sure anyone had Bentil penciled in for 1st Team BE either...

Not looking for a medal, draif. Just reminding all that most of us never thought we'd have 18 wins with 7 regular season games left. No need for the sarcastic comment.
I just find it so predictable that, with just a few losses, people run for the lifeboats.
GO PC!

So if we regress to the mean of the annual predictions we should be happy with all the home losses and DePaul on the road?

WE are never happy with losses (home or away) but WE are overjoyed with being undefeated on the road prior to the DePaul game (and Bentil's injury/Lindsey's sickness).
Winning at Butler, at Creighton, at Villanova and at Georgetown not make you happy???

Thump, sorry about the sarcastic comment. Agree, no need for it.
I think expectations get adjusted during the season and they got to the point where we should be a lock for the tournament. That's in jeopardy now if things continue trending the way they have.
I also think if you told everyone preseason that Bentil would average 20 PPG, the predictions would have looked much different.
