[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 189545, member: 1199"] I decided to look at our schedule and try to make some predictions. My main focus is on the OOC games: Cornell had a good team last year, but lost three starters, including their best player. We should begin the season with an easy win. Tennessee is picked to be in the bottom half of the SEC. If we lose this game, there will need to be a huge improvement before the ACC schedule. Green Bay was a very good team last year, but, like Cornell, lost a lot to graduation, including their best player. Assuming we beat Tennessee, this should be a win at home. I hope we are a lot better than East Tennessee State, a middling Southern Conference team. Stanford won the NIT last year, but also lost a lot to graduation. This should be a good test for us. I will call it a tossup. Assuming Villanova is next, we are in for a long night. They are a top 10 team. Expect a loss, <10 points will be very good. Assuming Arkansas, we should be playing a team more more new faces than GT. I think we can win this game. So, after the preseason NIT, we could be 5-1 at best, more likely 4-2. Worse and things are not going well. No matter how the early season has gone, we should beat Wofford and Tulane. Next up is VCU and they are not the VCU of the past. I am calling this a toss-up. The uga game is certainly a toss, as both teams come in with a lot of emotion. I hope Colgate and Duquesne are relatively easy wins. Where does that leave us? We could be 11-1, which would bode well for the season. More likely we will be 9-3 or 8-4. Worse is not a good sign. [/QUOTE]
