[orbs son]

11-2 OOC
12-6 SEC
23-8

 

[bleedingTNorange]

I’m thinking 22-9/23-8

 

[Dudleys87]

Split with Kentucky
Drop Kansas
The rest are W

Elite 8 run
Barnes NCOY

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

21-10, SEC Tourney runner up, #5 seed, Sweet 16.

 

[NYCVolunteer]

Gonna sweep WV

 

[AngryButchJones]

So we're just talking about regular season then, yeah? I truly think anywhere between 24-27 wins is possible, but the tougher SEC worries me a little. Still, this team has me excited.

Yea I was talking about regular season. I don't think we win the SECT, but do think we finally make that final 4 run.

 

[dunkingdan]

25-6
2-1 SEC
Sweet 16/Elite 8

 

[Catbone]

Probably 21-23 ish wins

 

[i2amavol]

24-7

 

[Pruitt Will Do It]

Tennessee will be 27-4

11-2 outside the SEC
16-2 in the SEC

Final Four Semifinals

 

[hUTch2002]

11-2 OOC
12-6 SEC
23-8

That’s exactly where I am on it as well. I also say we at least make the SEC tourney final and at least make the Sweet 16. I’ll likely predict further when the time comes but let’s see the matchups first. The SEC will actually be in the mix for best conference.

 

[JRVOL11]

They won’t finish with more than 5/6 losses

 

[SweetDaddy]

26-5 and a Final 4.

 

[sport3500]

11-2 in the OOC
14-4 In SEC
25-6 Overall
Win The SEC Tournament
Elite 8 probable and a Final Four berth with some breaks.

 

[Stoked]

40-0 BBN style.

 

[Lefteye]

Anybody else surprised we had 11 people vote 29+? I’m used to that in the football forums but basketball? No knock I love it. I like 21-24, but went with 23-24.

If Bone can be more consistently productive, they can make noise at an 8 or 9 seed. I don’t see them worse than a 6, but my point is just get in with this team.

I keep hearing that the SEC is getting tougher in basketball the last 3 years now, but I haven't seen any proof of that to this point. There will be about 5 good teams this year including us, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Florida, and Auburn. Mississippi State might be a little better, but that's about it. Alabama will be the same or worse, A&M will be way worse, Missouri and Arkansas will be about the same. South Carolina , Ole Miss, LSU, and Georgia will be bad. We should split the games against the 5 good teams, and beat the bad teams

I'll say 26 wins, #2 seed in the NCAA tournament.

 

[YankeeVol]

31-0
SEC Tourney Champs
NCAA basketball National Champs

 

[therickbol]

1-30..... only win is at UK

LSU will be solid . Two 5 Star big man , a 4/5 star PG along with Tremont waters .
