I wonder if DU will still have the free video stream of the games again this year?

Tough schedule. We'll find out early what the Dukes have. If we can weather the early storm, the schedule looks managable down the stretch.

I agree. I hope I am wrong, but I honestly do not see more than 5 to 6 League wins, coupled with 8 OOC wins = 13 or 14 total wins and another losing season. I do not see how we get to 18 or 19 wins as you and others have suggested.

The key is to defend your home court, as it usually is. You just can't lose more than a couple of home games, and still have a successful season.
What's different this year is that the gap between the top and bottom of the league has narrowed. Outside of VCU, there is not a team in this league that we shouldn't have a strong chance to beat at home. Conversely, there are no longer any cupcakes either. Every road game is a potential loss for most of the league.

A-10 cupcakes are Fordham, St. Bonaventure, and La Salle.

LaSalle? You mean the team that was in the Sweet 16 17 months ago? Bona? You mean a team that has been to the NCAA's this decade? Even Fordham is expected to be decent this year. The point is, none of those teams are a train wreck, the way they, plus the Dukes were a decade ago.
