Season Predictions

[butlerguy03]

I'll start with my take on Butler:

I think they'll surprise some in the Big East. The Bulldogs will not make the NCAA tournament, but will end up in the NIT at (17-14, 8-10).

W – Maine
W – Chattanooga
W – Loyola MD
L – North Carolina (Battle 4 Atlantis)
L – UCLA (Battle 4 Atlantis)
W – UAB (Battle 4 Atlantis)
L – at Indiana State
W – Northwestern
W – Kennesaw State
L – at Tennessee
W – Indiana (Conseco Fieldhouse)
W – UT-Martin
W – Belmont
L – at Villanova
L – at St. John’s
L – Providence
W – Xavier
W – at Seton Hall
L – at Georgetown
W – Creighton
W – Seton Hall
L – at Marquette
W – St. John’s
W - DePaul
L – Villanova
W – at Creighton
L – at Xavier
L – Marquette
W – at DePaul
L – Georgetown
L – at Providence

(17-14, 8-10)

[R to the OB]

OK, why not?

Here's Creighton's
W - Sioux Falls (Ex.)
W - Central Arkansas
W - Chicago State
L - Oklahoma
W - North Carolina Central (Emerald Coast Classic - Home Game)
W - Eastern Illinois (Emerald Coast Classic - Home Game)
W - vs. Ole Miss (Emerald Coast Classic - Niceville, FL)
W - vs. Cincinnati (Emerald Coast Classic - Niceville, FL)
W - @ Tulsa
L - @ Nebraska
W - South Dakota
W - St. Mary's
W - Texas-Pan American
W - @ North Texas
L - @ Providence
L - @ Georgetown
W - DePaul
W - Seton Hall
W - @ Marquette
W - Providence
W - @ Butler
L - @ Villanova
W - St. John's
L - Georgetown
L - @ Xavier
L - @ St. John's
W - Marquette
W - Butler
W - @ DePaul
W - @ Seton Hall
L - Villanova
W - Xavier

That has Creighton going 22-9 (11-7) and on the bubble. If they win a game in the Big East Tournament, they're certainly in, if they don't, they're sweating it out on the bubble on Selection Sunday.

Okay, I'll play too. Here's Providence:

W - Albany
W - Binghamton
W - Navy
W - Florida State
W - Notre Dame
W - Yale
L - @ Kentucky
W - @ BC
W - Brown
W - Rhode Island
W - Stony Brook
W - UMass
W - Miami
W - Creighton
L - @ Marquette
W - @ Butler
L - Georgetown
L - St. John's
W - @ Creighton
W - Xavier
W - DePaul
L - @ St. John's
L - @ Georgetown
L - @ Xavier
L - Villanova
W - Seton Hall
W - @ DePaul
L - @ Villanova
W - Marquette
L - @ Seton Hall
W - Butler

Overall: 21-10
Big East : 9-9

20-11 (11-7) On bubble and miss tourney unless we go deep into BET. Then we barely make the tourney.

[X-man]

Man, with all those predicted road losses listed above, Xavier will be lucky to finish in the top half of the BE this season.

[handdownmandown]

It's always going to be that way, no one is going to predict a home loss unless it's Nova or something. The St. Johns guy surprised me by predicting a loss in Omaha, because I figured if one person from every fan base chimed in CU would cumulatively be estimated at 1-17, with only the DePaul fan predicting a split.

No biggie, let's just get the season going.

Well hopefully more but yes only 29 regular season games, but I'm hoping we get 38 games this year.

Same with St. John's, who has a 30th game against a DII team. I think it hurts in this day and age. 21-9 looks a lot better than 20-9. And a hell of a lot better than 19-10.
