I think that 14-4 good is unrealistic, i am hoping for 11-7ish with being hot going into the tournaments.
I think you're right, I adjusted the tossup category so it is 13-5. If Bama wins "gets lucky" and wins
The weird thing about your schedule is that so many of your "should be win" games are on the road while "tossup" are home games. Especially for a young team, that is a really rough draw to outperform expectations

I ll go with gene's prediction, between 10-8 and 13-5 is realistic I think. There's just too much talent on this team to be mediocre . The sec is deeper but I think we ve performed well vs this schedule. We aren't playing sisters of the poor everynight.

13-5 would be amazing. 
I do like your optimism.

Anybody know a price on tickets to the Texas game?? Like can I just show up at the BJCC that day and find some??

If it isn't sold out yet it's close. I bought 2 through Ticketmaster a few weeks ago and there weren't many left.

There's a difference between being mediocre and a good team catching some bad breaks in close games.
Just look at the ACC where you'll find some great teams have .500 type conf records because of a tough draw + bad bounces

7 hours ago there were only 58 tickets remaining on ticketmaster for the Bama-Mercer game. It's probably close to being sold out now
Edit: Looks like there's 45 tickets left and they're all single seats

for graduating Busy Memphis looks pretty good against Louisville. They're only down 4 vs Louisville with UL on fire from 3.

Same situation on ESPN BPI. Something is screwed up in their efficiency system for this to occur.
As a baseline a lot of systems use returning player data, recruiting ratings etc for early ranking. I wonder if that's skewing the results before it is weighted less

So Mercer may be a tournament team. Would like to see our kids take it to these guys Tuesday. Opening up with Aggie in SEC play is gonna be tough but at least we get it out of the way.

Texas beat La Tech 75-60. I really worry about the press of Texas.

Woah, that's insane. I hadn't noticed that. I mean, theoretically they could have beat all those teams playing meh games as those teams play their worst game or something.........but there's no way that is why.
