They exceeded my OOC win total, but I still only see them winning 7 or 8 conference games in the regular season. I'll go with 7-11.

i'm also disappointed that the school hasn't done more to promote the dayton game. top 25 teams don't show up at gola very often. they should have been all over the students prior to the semester break to beg them to come back for that game. the kids and coaching staff on this team deserve so much more than what they're getting. it would be a shame to see a half-filled gola for a national tv game against a top 25 team. THIS! But there will probably be nothing open for dinner on campus. Thank goodness for the hideout... and with the dollar dogs maybe there will be an atmosphere of sorts although I'm expecting to be disappointed. |

I expect to see a lot of red in the stands. |

I'm thinking, roughly, 6-10 in the conference. They've played mostly cupcakes so far and the A-10 teams - even the ones in the middle of the pack - won't let La Salle get away with as much as those low-level schools did. They have better players than those opponents.....and better players than La Salle seems to have.

First handful of A10 games are favorable matchups. Need to capitalize on those, set the tone. apparently by "handful" you meant "one" |

Must wins: Fordham, GW, SJU, @sju. This would bring us to 5 wins in the A10 which is three wins behind last year's team. Stealing a split against St Louis plus one more against UMass, @davidson or @duquesne makes us 7-11. After a 1-5 start, 6-6 the rest of the way seems like the least likely, but best possible, of outcomes. It would require a lot of the mistakes we've been seeing this year to be very quickly hidden or eliminated (turnovers, Saul AND Deas shooting woes, freshmen passing the ball to each other's back, not getting to the line, not making the free throw attempts). I think we most likely finish with 5 wins which then puts us in danger of needing to play Wednesday in Brooklyn but we'd be favored if the opponent is GW or Fordham, and then try to get a less unfavorable match-up Thursday than our typical 8/9 exit from sevenish of the past ten years.

GW worries me a little bit. Yeah they lost at Fordham, but they wiped the floor with UMass at UMass and they beat Mason. I originally had that as a gimmie, but now am not sure. They are a young team that seems to be getting a little better from the couple of games I saw. Jameer Nelson Jr is getting a lot of minutes and seems like a solid player as a freshman. |

Fighting with GW to avoid Wednesday in Brooklyn

Fighting with GW to avoid Wednesday in Brooklyn I'm intrigued how we have a 0.01% chance of being the 3 seed...which is roughly equivalent to the chance I have of dating Jennifer Love Hewitt. And before you think that is so far-fetched...she dated Jamie Kennedy who graduated one year ahead of me at Bonner. so.....there's a chance. |

There might be even less of a chance of that happening if there's a Mrs. GlitterBro.

Range here before the A10 season started was 11 (and maybe 12) to 7 A10 wins. Weird now that we are seeing 5 and HOPING for 6.

Here I thought a10 was being a contrarian, and he may be right in the money with 6 wins.

Here we go folks. Time to get into the swing of A10 play. Let’s see your predictions for the season. Assuming no injuries, I am going with 10-8 as a base case and 11-7 stretch if we can get a win on the road against Duquesne. Highlight wins will be at home against SLU and Mason, solid win v Bonnies and taking care of business against Mass, GW, Fordham, SJU. With Blue and Gold glasses I see 12-6 with wins over Duq and UR versus base case. Let’s go! Well I am writing to eat crow for my prediction but I am not disappointed with the season because the effort level was great in all but a few games, Ash got his frosh "guys" meaningful playing time and I look forward to the addition of Clark and Moore in next year's lineup. A big reason for the two win decline compared to '18-'19 is that the A10 was a lot better talent wise this year, pretty much across 11 of 13 of our team opponents. Last year we beat UMass twice; they were better this year and swept us. We beat Richmond and Davidson last year; they are better and deeper this year and beat us. On the positive side, we beat the Bonnies and swept SJU. In the crying in my beer category, we had real chances to beat upper tier teams in games v. SLU (lost by 3), @ URI (lost by 3), and in OT @ Duq (lost by 2). We should have beaten Mason. I honestly think that if we had Clark in the lineup, we could have had 9-10 A10 wins, so I am cautiously optimisitic for improvement on paper next year, but hey we have to prove we can win and a lot of team talent returns across the A10 next year. Let's leave it all on the floor in Brooklyn and go Expos! |

......I'll go 7-11.
