I don't even know if that's true. The Big East is garbage. There is only two teams in KenPom's top 40: UConn at 13 and us at 17.

Villanova is 41.

For context, Ole Miss is 42. That puts them 10th in the SEC...

This is why when everyone was saying how this schedule is incredible and fantastic and couldn't be better, I harped on one more tough game. The Big East is just a very sad, nostalgia-based conference. I hate the reality of it, I truly do. But it's just bad bad bad

What would Anderson's last, 7-13 team done in this year's big east? 8-12, 9-11? Maybe even 10-10 and another BE coach of the year and extend his consecutive .500 season record.

We are playing a really competitive ooc schedule. All you can worry about are the things that we can change. Which is nothing.

So many competitive games against top competition so far is something we've never ever experienced before. A roster overhauled with top talent is something we've never experienced before.

Thankful.

Along with the regression in D , the alarming and confusing rebounding issue, lack of a true point guard on the roster there is another issue no one is mentioning. Last year whenever we needed someone to have a big game, make a play or score a must have basket, RJ stepped up. As of now don’t have that guy.
13-7 seems overly positive at this point.

Check my AI video with Pitino. Give it some time as was the case with last years team before jumping ship.

For what it’s worth. Cheapest subscription I am seeing for Peacock is $7.99 a month. However Walmart is running a deal today only that if you join Walmart + (sounds kind of like Amazon Prime) for a year for $49 you get Peacock for free for that entire year. I may go that route as the wife likes to shop online.

My wife just told me ours auto-renewed and it was like $10/mo. Forgot all about trying to cancel & get deal today

Larry, we are not going 13-7 in the Big East. We lost to two ranked teams. There might be two ranked teams in the Big East this year - and we are one of them. Plus we will be better by the time league play arrives in part due to the better competition we have been playing.

Probably a worst case scenario is 15-5 in the league and I think we will be a game or two better than that.

Having said that, agree it is important to be Ole Miss for a variety of reasons

15-5 is the floor. I'd guess 16-4.

For the record I have us at 15-5.
But using 13-7 as a floor for the purpose of saying we really need to win next game just in case.

So there is one game separating your floor from the ceiling? We talking about basketball or a ranch house?

I'd say our ceiling is probably 18-2. I'm saying my prediction is 16-4 but 15-5 is the floor for a positive season. If we go 13-7, the wheels came off the bus big time and/or there was an injury.
 
They play Tuesday at 9pm against Miami on SEC Network, so I'm going to try to catch that. I haven't watched them play but they lost to Utah who's KenPom is in the 120s.

Niko Bundalo, Y2 miss, is playing 1.7mpg so will be hard to "portal scout" him.

Ole Miss coach really is savvy, but he does not seem to have the horses to succeed in SEC this year, obviously early though. We should beat them at MSG or it may be more difficult to make excuses even for blind loyalty guys.

Think you are underestimating the ability and dogged determination of the blind loyalty crew. 😉😊🤣

Your analysis is faulty in one major way, you are comparing mid to late season performance last year to early season performance this year instead of early to early. Your observations and mine of team needs are very similar but your timing is way off.
