Just tweeted Marcus Spears (ESPN Analyst) @mspears96 Hey Marcus, your nephew Jaylen Cole-Williams is on my Duquesne University D-1 basketball roster. Had his debut last year. How about a shout-out?

Haha thanks for sharing KenOTR and remember playing against you guys in your gold and red unis and some excellent teams. Pitt QB1 Hogan was a Spartan back in early 70s if I remember correctly. I have no idea why they chose Lancers for Boyle and honestly the irony didn't dawn on us at the time. Haha you guys were a great opponent and thanks for asking! Go Dukes

PS I am assuming that you would prefer a trip to Monongahela if you win instead of McKeesport or Homestead? 😄

I think 8-5 OOC
           9-9 A10 play
            17-14 overall
            2-1 A10 tourney
            210 points over those 3 games
This team includes many new faces and I am excited to see what they can do, but I am tempering my expectations.  Feel free to prove me wrong Dukes!

Don't be a gawker, get on the record. You can't say later "I told you so" if you are not on the record, more importantly think of the chance of winning the fabulous grand prize. Go Dukes!

There are worries about size and rebounding, but this might be a much better shooting team than we have seen, so I'll predict: 
11-2 OOC
11-7 A-10
2-1 Tourney
225 points

I see this as a late-blooming squad that does its best work in the last 4 weeks of the season. They will earn a high-seeded CBI bid, win the damn thing at the Coop, & bring back nearly everyone from a 26 win team for 22-23.
(That is if KD isn't quite so high & mighty about playing in a lesser tournament in year 5 as he was in years 1-3.)
-8-5 Non-Con
-11-7 A-10
-2-1 A-10 Tournament
-21-13 season record
-214 A-10 Tournament points

I like this as the downside.  Upside would be 27 wins including tourneys.  Put me down for down for 23 and finishing strong.

Since my "winning record" comment can't get counted, I'll put in numbers.
I look for 19 wins this year!
Go Dukes!

OK. After an extensive review of the current roster and coaching, an in-depth analysis of every potential opponent, a deep-dive into statistics, tendencies, injuries and various other factors too numerous to mention, I submit the following:  11 wins OOC, 11 wins A10, 3 wins A10 Tourney (260 points). For a total of 25 wins.
I can assure you it's only a coincidence no one else has yet picked 25 wins.
3-10 OOC
3-15 A10
0 conference wins 64 points

Not too many teams could score 141 points in a loss.

Corrected. Thanks. I thought it was combined of both teams. But I doubt if I’m correct it will come down to a tiebreaker. Lol.
