Official season prediction thread

[AngryButchJones]

I mean that’s what analytics would project…9-4 OOC & 12-6 SEC.

Yeah 12-6 in SEC is about what I keep thinking too. 13-5 would be great IMO.

But 4 OOC losses is definitely likely. Think we lose to Purdue if we face them, possibly to UNC if it's them. Texas could be a loss, Memphis could be a loss, and so could Villanova.

If nothing else, I expect all those to be close, but I'd be stunned if we win all those.

23-8 or 24-7

Bump…we’re winding down the year so always fun to look back.

 

[golfballs]

Well nobody was right

 

[VolPack22]

Well I predicted 23-8 before the season. I’ll take it!

 

[The Dog]

Well I predicted 23-8 before the season. I’ll take it!

Me, too. But, I wanna be wrong. If we are, that means 24-7

 

[hUTch2002]

Dang Memphis game messed everyone up. I was one of the more optimistic at 26-5 (15-3).

 

[The Dog]

Me, too. But, I wanna be wrong. If we are, that means 24-7

Wow, I'm off, gave us an extra win, 22-7, right now

 

[TheMookieMonster]

My “bias” scenario is one win away from being right. My “realistic” scenario if we lose.

So, either way I’m right! I love it when I’m right.

 

[VolPack22]

You can blame Penny and his team’s “Covid outbreak” for that one. That would have been a definite win. I had us losing to Auburn but everything else has been what I expected coming into the season.

 

[Vol49er]

I’m gonna revise this to 21 wins, the exhibition got me excited

Even my more optimistic prediction was undershooting things. Glad I was wrong about this team, been a really good season

Now I predict we lose in the first round in the tourney (trying my reverse psychology trick again)

 

[Volprofch05]

Went with 22-9, results suggest I’m a moderate, as usual. Typically challenging Barnes schedule though, lots of fun matchups to look forward to.

Hopefully my win total prediction ends up off by 1!

 

[YankeeVol]

24-7 with our SOS means you’re saying Top 5 ranking and a #1 seed…seems like realistic expectations to me

 

[HippieVol33]

My “bias” scenario is one win away from being right. My “realistic” scenario if we lose.

So, either way I’m right! I love it when I’m right.

I’m with you. I had 22-9.

Edit: And if you’d told me we went 22-8 without the Memphis loss I’d have jumped for joy. This team is dang good. I really appreciate the coaching job and what these players have bought into. Watch other teams. We move the ball and defend at a higher level than 90% of CBB does.

Take away Memphis game and that means 23-7 which is very much a possibility, doesn’t change that that expectation was a bit unrealistic though.

Angling for that "Bruin" award early huh?
