Re: SI.com's Busting Brackets predicts 6 win season for Rhod
The author's flaw in my opinion is the inclusion of Jamal Wilson, Rayvon Harris, and Blake Vedder in the key losses paragragh.
They contributed little to nothing last year, so their loss is not key in my opinion.
Therefore I question his credibility.

Re: SI.com's Busting Brackets predicts 6 win season for Rhod
I saw Vedder under key losses, and stopped reading. Credibility gone.
First off - there is no such thing as a "key loss" after a 7-24 season. Unless you mean "key loss" as a good thing, like losing weight, and put Jim Baron in that category.
Second - people actually think we got WORSE after this off-season? Some people are gonna be really disappointed come March.

You each noticed exactly what I did. I can't give this guy any credibility.

Also, he says we'd lost in the first round of the A10 tourney, which if he predicts a 6 win season and 2 wins in conference, then we obviously would not even make the A10 tourney, so this article is a joke.

I think we'll be a lot closer to .500.

I dunno, only because the OOC is so tough.

Agreed. NO WAY we win less games than last year. I would be shocked.

You hold a valid point I dunno I think there are 7 or 8 "should" wins on there. With the Hurley's new system and given that it's tough for other teams to win at the Ryan Center, I think we're gonna upset 4 or 5 teams. That's 12 or 13 wins. Close to .500 "ish"

We may have the same number of wins as last year, but we'll certainly be a better team.

Judging from this prediction and the team's lack of depth, I would think making it to Barclay's would be a real achievement.

I agree, but if IF gets eligible, I don't think we have depth problems. I'm a firm believer that fitness, defense, and coaching can steal wins for you.Issac wrote:Judging from this prediction and the team's lack of depth, I would think making it to Barclay's would be a real achievement.
We certainly don't have a wealth of talent on the floor for this season, but at the same time, if you trust Hurley, than you have to trust he's not going to put a crap product on the floor.
Very few people have coached against him, and certainly we're looking like one of the best conditioned teams in basketball right now.
The difference, is that I don't think we lose games we should win. That's where coaching comes in. I think that allows us to catch better teams on off nights, and see a few cool things this year.
I see us winning: Bonnies, fordham, charlotte, brown, uvm, georgia state, loyola, norfolk st
I see us taking these less likely games: dayton, la salle, joes, auburn, SMU, and wash/seton hall
I see us stealing: PC and UMASS at home.
So yes: I'm taking us at 16-13 this year.

6 wins ?? Hurley will probably coach us to 5 wins by himself. I bet we win at least 11
