For the first time in a long time I am feeling optimistic about Maymon, and actually believe what Martin recently said that if the season began tomorrow he'd play.

Also, McRae has been saying how close those team is and how a close team can help get you over the hump. My one concern is Barton, I know Maymon, McRae and Stokes were helpful in landing him, but I'm hoping he can mesh quickly.

I just hope they can get off to a fast start this year because finishing strong has not helped them at all the last 2 seasons. I still want them to finish the season strong though.

The reason I think Barton will be fine he'll be the 4 option with the starters and 5th or 6th including Hubbs. He has options to pass to and as a PG I think he'll be fine. I think the staff and players wil be adjusted to Barton when the first game arrives. He doesn't have to be ball dominate and he can run the break I think he'll fit just fine.

I feel like the early season game at Xavier is almost a must win. Win that and you've knocked the road monkey off your back early in the season, gain confidence and get off to a good start.

I don't mean schematically, I mean off the court. Our team will be better if Barton gels with the guys off the court and becomes close to this group like the others have become in the offseason. You don't want your starting PG to me somewhat of an outcast if you're hoping for a great season IMO.

Oh I agree I think Stokes and McRae will help.

22-24 win team IMO if Maymon continues to progress and Barton and Hubbs comes in and do what the team needs them to do. I could see both averaging 9 or so a game. For Hubbs that will be tremendous in my opinion. Both Post should average double figures McRae will get his and Josh's scoring will possibly go down but will make an impact on defense and hustle plays.

I think 22-24 regular season wins is a good number. 22 wins would likely be 10-2 OOC 12-6 CONF totaling 22-8 which I feel is pretty doable. Would probably have us ranked around 20th, and depending on SECT showing would likely earn us a 5-7 seed.

Gives us a lot of momentum going into next season and would put two players into the draft likely late first round picks and would help with recruiting.

I think you're aiming too low. 20 wins last season? Remember some of those ugly early season losses? Lost one guy who really didn't have a good senior season and a PG who was wildly inconsistent. Everybody's a year older, stronger, and hopefully wiser. Now add Maymon, Hubbs, and Barton. Do you really think they only win 2-4 more games?

2-4 games is alot in college basketball. You have to remember we beat Kentucky and Florida last year, are you counting those as automatic wins this year?

I would be surprised if this team won more than 24 regular season games this year, I think 22-24 is a good window.

Defending you home court will be huge. And with a more consistant pg, we shouldn't have the total let downs on the road like last year.IMO Wouldn't be anything wrong 22-24 wins. As long as we don't have 5 bad losses in there.

That's realistic I can't expect them to go out and win 28 games. I'd love it but that's not going to happen SEC is better UK should be better among others. 24 wins is a VERY good season.

Exactly. For comparisons sake, Florida was 24-6 after the regular season and was ranked 11th.

It's all about where you take you L's too. 24 wins and lets say we lose to Kansas UK Florida and a couple others. That's not bad. I hope we play Florida twice and UK once

Not counting any "automatic" wins as its college bball where anything can happen on a given night.

You guys were saying 22-24 wins...not regular season games only. 20 wins last year with 0 wins in the NIT and was it 1 or 0 wins in the SEC tourny?

Team tallent has definately been upgraded - everyone agrees with this right? Several of you guys are calling for (2) 1st round NBA draft choices from this team - how many teams can hope for that?

22-24 wins regular season, 2-3 wins in SEC tourney, 1+ wins in the NCAA for a total of 26-29 seems very realistic to me, but what do I know? I like this tallent better than some of Pearl's top teams.

I'm curious as to the 6 games we lose in the SEC. If we lose 6 we are either getting swept by the good teams, or losing to a couple sh*tty teams.

Think it depends on who we play and we are bound to have a night were we slip up to a lesser team.

If we play UK twice possibly split. Florida possible split. Always a tough game with Alabama. Mizzou should still be good along with LSU. Just never know.
