We also always play Louisville tough (God, I hate Rick Pitino), we have a shot at beating them in their house (again). <BR/><BR/>We will have some home losses that we should not lose. It's hard to predict those. <BR/><BR/>I'm hoping for a very solid season and maybe a 4-5 seed in the Big Dance!John Cocktoastanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10434862411429498377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-71983502351148649742007-11-10T14:07:00.000-06:002007-11-10T14:07:00.000-06:00I think the concerns with James would be overblown...I think the concerns with James would be overblown, as he really seems ready to have a complete season (and it's not like he was that bad last season outside of his shooting struggles). Also, 10 would be too low for an over/under, as that's the absolute worst I can see Marquette realistically doing. I think 12 would be an excellent over-under number, with the likely range being 10-14 conference victories.Zuchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09155975823397091461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-32175933840652979902007-11-10T13:31:00.000-06:002007-11-10T13:31:00.000-06:00I hope MU has a solid year but the guy who predict...I hope MU has a solid year but the guy who predicted 14-4 is nuts. Come on. I think the relevant over/under in conference is ten wins. If I were you guys I wouldn't be able to sleep at night b/c I'd have nightmares of DJ hoisting 20 shots a night to try and prove to NBA scouts that he belongs.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03148785131374375200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-87242170832427992982007-11-09T19:21:00.000-06:002007-11-09T19:21:00.000-06:00Great to see someone else gave ND a Top 5 Big East...Great to see someone else gave ND a Top 5 Big East ranking!

If the team can secure a top 4 seed for the Big Dance, it will avoid its recent history of early exits. I think it is going to be a fun year and the beginning of bigger and better things for MU basketball.<BR/><BR/>Signed,<BR/><BR/>Epstein's MotherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-11562132202386940792007-11-09T15:07:00.000-06:002007-11-09T15:07:00.000-06:00I'm right in the middle at 23-7, 12-6 in the Big E...I'm right in the middle at 23-7, 12-6 in the Big East. I think Mbakwe's loss will cost us 2-3 games (@Wisconsin and a couple in the Big East). <BR/><BR/>Still, I would not worry too much about a preseason game. Plus, you have to remember that the team had just learned the Mbakwe news a couple of days before, and it definitely could have been playing on their minds.Zuchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09155975823397091461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-18274831006150075452007-11-09T13:29:00.000-06:002007-11-09T13:29:00.000-06:00I predict 30-0 and then going 6-0 in the NCAA tour...I predict 30-0 and then going 6-0 in the NCAA tournament.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-49272595090871720112007-11-09T13:21:00.000-06:002007-11-09T13:21:00.000-06:00I'd agree with that.

MU had some great road wins last year. <BR/><BR/>THis year, they will win some games they shouldn't win, and lose some games they shouldn't lose.<BR/><BR/>But if I have to guess, and I have to, right now, I'm not marking down a win @UL, @UW, @UConn, @SU, @ND. <BR/><BR/>Would I bet we win 1 or 2 of those 5? Sure. But which one, I know not.<BR/><BR/>And which game are we going to lose which we should not lose? @SJU? @Cincy or @SHU? Maybe ND at home? .. I'll bet we lose 1 of those.Kevin Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16815938761547005145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-80170026545257385672007-11-09T11:03:00.000-06:002007-11-09T11:03:00.000-06:00Not a single quality road win all year?
