Remember we play 18 conference games this year.

You can also predict which games we will win/lose the rest of the way if you want.

Consider me overly optimistic if you like, but I could see us hitting 14 as long as injuries don't wreck our progress.

I say 12...I think we win all by 1 home conference game...we will struggle a bit more on the road...but 12, to me, seems very realistic...

I chose 15 because I've traded in my sweet cider for Flames :koolaid . We beat UVA without Baker, and now that he's back, the sky is the limit.

I'm hoping for 14 or more, but I will say 13.

We will go 8-1 at home, 5-4 on the road.

14 for me. We lose 1 at home and 2 more on the road. That is assuming we learn how to play for 40 minutes on the road and not try and make every game a come from behind thriller. I really don't see us losing more than 5-6 games in conference at the worst barring some injuries.

Maybe I'm just aiming low, but all I want is 9 more conference wins for a 20 win season. Anything beyond that during the season will be a bonus. That being said, I want nothing less than 3 wins when tournament time comes around.

I say we win 12.

I'm the lone vote for 11 so far.

I'm not explaining it. Just claiming it.

I think 11 wins is what we should shoot for. That means going 10-4 the rest of the way in conference, 7-1 at home, 3-3 on the road. Sure it seems like those 3 road wins may be tough, but in order to get top 3 in the tournament this is what we need to do. Our 6 road games: VMI, Radford, G-W, Coastal, CSU, and High Point.

If we finish top 3, we get a first round home game, and then if we win we play against the #2 team on a neutral court.

Looks like my under 8 is looking better:( It's fine though - we are young. Let's just get the losing out of our system and win the Tourney. I don't care if we play here for the championship, just as long is it's not in Asheville. We can win at VMI - they have regulation size hoops there.

I hardly doubt it will be in Asheville- I'd put money on VMI or Radford right now but it's still far too early..

Regulation sized hoops eh?? Wow proto, I guess it takes awhile for you to get over losing to us at the JC continually.. Winthrop and LU's women haven't had any trouble shooting in our place.. Guess they're mentally tougher though... Since you brought it up..

I pick us going undefeated at home and winning at High Point, Charleston Southern and Coastal Carolina.

I picked 10-8. Does that mean I hate LU? Please.

5 points in either way and all of us could have been right.

No Im not saying you hate LU. I was making a point because conveniently he came around when we were struggling and threw that record out.

well you can't guess now with only 2 conference games left. That's not really fair.
