Interested to see what people expect from OOC schedule this year given recent scrimmage information and expectations. I think Board is in agreement this is not an overly difficult schedule by any means, but that is why they play the games.
OOC Predictions
- Thread starter SpiderTrap
- Start date
I don't see us beating Auburn at Auburn. If I were to look at it objectively, I wouldn't see us losing any other game in OOC. But, Mooney's been around for a while so we know what to expect and that will be to have a couple clunkers in OOC. So, I am going 10-3. Normal years that would be something to be celebrated but with this schedule, it will be underwhelming sadly.
I saw that Bucknell beat St. Joes in an exhibition game.
I thought about adding more selections, but didn't want to overkill. I agree - 11+ may dominate, but that is still a tough ask. What is the best OOC record under Mooney at UR?

Have to think at least 2 losses...Auburn and then you always drop at least one more than you don't expect. Charlotte maybe most likely, but could be anyone (*cough* W&M *cough*).
Of course, if this MTE falls apart completely, we might end up with only 11 non-conference games total.

Removing Mount Olive because it doesn't actually count towards anything meaningful and the Gulf Coast fiasco-waiting-to-happen since we don't even know if it will be played this is the list of games. It is more difficult to win on the road, especially in college hoops so looking at those specifically:
Charlotte - beat them by 8 at home last season, know nothing about their turnover situation
Bucknell - normally wouldn't be nervous here but they have shown they have teeth in beating St Joes
Auburn - moral victory special
W&M - historically a pushover though they have beaten us recently. New coach there so he could have them revved up by mid-Dec.
I expect two losses from that group and then hopefully a clean slate of W's at home. Belmont usually decent but again no clue on what they are or are not returning from last season.

Are we really looking at basically any competitive game and saying decent chance we lose?
There should be 6 double digit wins of those 9. Auburn very difficult and we should win the Charlotte and Belmont games. We want to be a program that matters stop choking the OOC.

I see an excuse, only playing 10 games, including a D3…
That makes 12-1 difficult…
If we play down to the competition we may not win a game.
Looking back at this poll really shows how far short the team has fallen short of meeting expectations on this board. I was one of the 4 that selected 7+ wins, but I’m worried the less than 7 option might end up being the correct answer.
I mean, it hasn't been good at all. But we'll win more than 7. That's being a little reactionary.
We have 5 OOC games left, one of them is Auburn. So to win more than 7, that would mean we would have to win out the remaining 4 OOC games. Now granted, none of those games are against top competition but neither were our first 6 D-1 games, and we've gone 2-4 against that group.

Was thinking same, doesn't seem crazy based on how we have played so far against some bad to mediocre competition.
Agree. I hate to say it, but none of the next 5 games seem like sure wins right now.
Oh geez -- I thought we were talking about full season. I fully agree that more than 7 in OOC is no sure thing.
Those came from the coaching staff.
A-10 was poor last year. If it is that bad this year the team should win 6-8. If the league is better maybe 4-5
