sounds about right to me.

20-13 or 22-11

19 wins.

In all seriousness we probably have more talent than anyone in the league outside of SMU. But what does that mean exactly ?

If the young talent plays better earlier and if Kedren and Tarrant stay healthy could be 21-22 wins but between all the freshmen and injury prone upper classmen that's A LOT of 'ifs' not to mention the chemistry issues that will have to be worked through with 9-10 newcomers (AGAIN) on the roster........

Let's just break it down logically:

AAC Tournament 1-1

Finish 18-15

28 - 5?

Somewhere north of .500 ball. 16 to 20 wins. Maybe we get lucky and win one or two in the conference tournament and push the total closer to or over 20 wins.

At least one contributor gets tendinitis before conference play.

No postseason.

I thought 18 wins would be a stretch, but then bigbob showed up and promised at least a Sweet 16 and pointed out how fantastic our coach is, complete with disparaging remarks about anybody who doubts it, so I now will be disappointed with less than 23 wins and a S16. Thanks, Bob, for opening my eyes!

20 wins.
