How many conference wins this season?

[gospidersgo]

With the OOC portion of the schedule complete I thought it would be interesting to get everyone's guess on our conference record.

1/6 Dayton (away)
1/9 URI (home)
1/12 GW (away)
1/16 Duquesne (home)
1/19 Davidson (away)
1/23 St. Joe's (away)
1/26 St. Bona (home)
1/30 Saint Louis (away)
2/2 La Salle (home)

We get LaSalle and GW twice. That helps.

We will start the A10 3-7. No ifs, and, or buts.

La Salle, GW, and St. Bonnie are pretty much train wrecks this year. That is 4-5 wins right there. I'm sure we will grab another couple of wins. Think we win about 7.

I'm coming up with 8-10 with a good chance to end the year on a 4 game losing streak. We shall see.

 

[SpiderTrap]

Conference is bad this year - Mooney always finds a way to muster at least 8 wins, ,and I think if Wojik can get hot a few games and Cayo plays well - and of course, we must avoid the injury bug the rest of the way - 9 wins is where we fall.

 

[fatherspider]

Id say 8-10 around .500 only because there are so many terrible teams in the A10. CAA is a better leaGue this year.

 

[wr70beh]

We'll lose to a team like GW Bona or LaSalle, but beat a team like St. Joe's or Davidson. The rest should shake out, except we'll get swept by Mason and Duq beats us. 6 wins tops.

Not even close. CAA is real bad this year. Not even top 15.

 

[kneepadmckinney]

I think 7 wins.

 

[ChoppinBroccoli]

CAA is real bad this year. Not even top 15.

Agreed. NET has us right smack in the middle of that 10-team league; I think we're better than that.
Only Charleston, Northeastern and Hofstra ahead of us IMO - that's still disappointing.

The A-10 is the 13th rated conference in the RPI, the CAA is the 18th. So, yes the A-10 is better but a few years ago the A-10 was in the Top 7 of conferences, occassionally ahead of a BCS conference. The MAC, Ivy, and West Coast conference are all rated more highly than the A-10 this year.

Well at least we have a major conference trying to join us in the race to the bottom.

 

[SpiderRick]

I have sunk so low that I will settle for one win over VCU.

 

[gospidersgo]

Bump

Congratulations (?) to those who picked 4-7 conference wins.

I’m not proud to have correctly predicted that.

 

[SpiderFan]

Not hard to get that 4-7 one right going into the conference season this year.

Well had we not crapped the bed against a horrible UMass team, I would have been dead on. We can still meet my prediction if we beat Davidson on Saturday night. I won't hold my breath.
