2015-16 season predictions

[Washingtonian]

I know, it's April, but since we now have a new head coach, and hopefully no one leaves, anyone want to take a guess as to how the season will play out?

I think we will have an .500 overall record at the very least, and not in the play in game (meaning the Wednesday game) in Brooklyn.

39 - 0

I go into next year just wanting to see us compete, play smart, and value the basketball. Under Paulsen I am confident we'll see that. How many wins that equates to is a tough call. I'll be SATISFIED if I see improvement in effort and execution on both ends of the floor. 12 - 14 wins next year is my prediction. I'll be DELIGHTED if we finish .500 overall and out of the bottom 4 play in game.

I hope you aren't this premature in all aspects of your life.

I think reasonable expectations would be something like a 16-14 regular season record, 9-9 in the A10, at least one win over GW or vcu, and a decent RPI that gives us a chance to play our way onto the right side of the NIT bubble in Brooklyn.

And obviously our ceiling is quite a bit higher than that if everything clicks, but I'm trying to be realistic. We might not end up anywhere near those numbers, and that's ok too. We are going to have growing pains next season, and I'm not going to worry about wins and losses so long as we see a plan coming together.

I predict Shevon Thompson will lead the team in rebounds. Really going out on a limb here.

The pun! It hurts!

19-11 - 1-1 in Brooklyn - NIT 7 seed on the road just like in 2009.

I just expect improvement. If I can tell there is a defensive mindset, good fundamentals, and just an aroma of an offensive plan I will be happy. I will attend every home game and just revel in the pleasure. I will work hard to attain the same figure and posture as Coach P and just be happy. Solid predictions will include Pikapp being slightly enebriated at a game, possibly yelling insulting taunts at the refs, and stealing some of Son of a Gunstons hot sauce.

 

[Steve33]

14-16 wins. Our of the bottom 4 in the A-10. Thats in improvement .500 play would be a delight.

Dude, chill.
I'll echo what most everyone else has said: I just want to see improvement, fundamentally sound basketball, and our players actually enjoying playing the game for a coach who gives a damn.

Oh and I WILL clog a toilet at the Pat Dome - twice - not three times like 2013 but twice.

Exactly. We don't even know who is staying and who will be coming in. Making super specific predictions is dangerous at this point.

Average attendance over 5,500. One win versus a ranked team. More Jim McKay t-shirts thrown out than last year and...

.500 overall would be delightful . And not playing in the PIG.

 

[gmujim92]

I predict I will enjoy every single game next season -- regardless of outcome -- more than any game during the four-year Blewitt Reign of Error.

I predict that if we are leading a game by 6 with 30 seconds left we will probably win that game.

 

[gmujim92]

I predict that if we start a conference tournament semifinal game on a 31-7 run, we won't have to hear our coach say, "We were just hoping to hold on" afterward.
