I'm all in. I'm drinking the new recipe Green Kool-Aid. Most optimistic predictions I have ever made. This is the Glory Days for OHIO. Great memories will be made.

EDIT: Oops - did not roll up Postseason numbers correctly - edited now.

5 Seniors - Determined, and dissed in pre-season polls. Best coach in MAC history (by significant metrics) also dissed in pre-season polls. DJ and Walt alone won't settle for anything less than these predictions - I predict best back court tandem performance in the country this year. Balance of the returning roster & depth is just added fodder.....................

 

 

I called for the Elite Eight last year, so I think we all know where this is going.

Postseason Prediction - I have no clue on seeding but we're winning the whole damn thing.

Final Record: 40-1

No green glasses.  This is happening.

MAC Tournament Prediction - Another thrilling victory over Akron
Postseason Prediction - Lose a 1st round heartbreaker as a 10 seed.

These predictions may seem pessimistic compared to most, but 1 - Being unique in pick em gives you a better chance of winning. 2 - I think we can be simultaneously great and yet struggle on a few nights.  It is really hard to be consistent enough to win 25+ games in the regular season.

MAC Tournament Prediction - #1 seed, Champions
Postseason Prediction -#10 seed, going to Elite Eight

I am glad we got Toledo at home this year since they are suppose to be real tough.  That will be a good game.  I think Kent will beat us at their place for the fact that we have Christian and they will be fired up.  But, we will even it out we they visit Heaven on Richland Ave.  I don't think we will see Akron in the Championship, I feel maybe Kent or even Buffalo.  Maybe a Western Conference would be awesome but the only one I know to make it that far is Toledo.  Although, did I hear Eastern Michigan may have a good team this year?  I could be wrong and I don't see them going to the 'Ship in Cleveland.  I went on a wim and took us beating Bobby M at their house and that is just plain hoping and praying cuz we have a tough time up there.  Looking forward to a great and awesome season.  Only 11 more days!!!  Go Cats!!

We tie Akron for the regular season championship and then win the tournament.  While that is going on, OSU finishes undefeated in football, but Gee makes some stupid remark about the injustice of "this" team being on probation since "no one s left" from the "problem." 

Rubbed the wrong way by the attitude, the NCAA takes a third seed OSU team and places them in the same venue (Columbus) as the 11th seed Bobcats (bending the rule of absolutely catering to the higher seed).  We take down 7th seed Temple in the opening round and then defeat Ohio State to get to the Sweetest of 16.
