With so many unknowns about this year's team I've been putting off making my picks searching for more information. In reality we won't really know what kind of team we have until around the middle of January. Coincidentally that's when the toughest stretch of games starts. I'm not sure whether midnight on the 8th was last night or tonight; so hopefully I'm still eligible to experience none of what McKeesport has to offer. Moreso hopefully the Dukes exceed my expectations.

Non-conference 7-6
Atlantic 10 8-10
A-10 Tournament 0-1 70 points
15-17 overall

Still worried about chemistry and a bunch of guys who haven't played together.


Out of Conference: 9-4
Conference: 10-8
A10: 1-1
Points 148
Total: 20-12
Post Season: CBI

I'm going with 9-4 OOC and 10-8 Conf.  Two wins in tourney. Young team, plus or minus here is highly possible.

I'll take the over, giving 100-1 and let me grab my mortgage papers.
 

A83, you are the man!  I guess technically it's a push, but when they lose tomorrow, and you are proven right, private message me and I will write a check for $100 to the charity of your choice!

That is definitely not necessary. I’m sorry I was correct. And if they win the over comes through.

But if you want donate the $100 to the Duquesne Bowling team. They are nationally ranked and actually win. If it is a push, I’ll match donate $100 as well.

OMG, that is so perfect. I coach my high school's bowling team and have done so for 20 years!  What a serendipitious occurance. 
 

I just checked the bowling ranking.   They are ranked 4 in the NCAA.

A83 wins this fabulous prize.  I wish I could say congratulations, but I am sure he understands.

I think everyone that predicted 20 wins or more should fork over $100 to Duquesne women’s bowling. And tell them why you are sending it. 😊.

I donated as requested. (Bowling is ranked #4 per NCAA website.) I didn't explain why to them--that I predicted 22 wins this year, that on top of predicting 19 wins in JF's last year. I would rather they think it was because of their achievements than my stupidity. 

Thank you.  My donation will be made tomorrow.
