I voted for 25-30....if this is the most anticipated season in awhile........I think 25 wins is appropriate!

Trying to figure out how many games Bradley will win this year is as hard for me as filling out my parley cards each week, it just isn't working out for me..( I fill out parley cards for recreational purposes only) !! I have a hard time being a HOMER than a realist when it comes to BU basketball and my FAN side put's more emphasize on potential rather than actual result's. I did vote 15-19 wins on this poll only because of the unknown's for this team.
The first unknown for me is how much influence will Coach Platt have for BU's frontcourt ? Will we actually see a defensive up-grade from previous season's from our big men ? Can AT,JP,AD and MK provide enough defensive mintues to rest WE and TB ? If the answer is yes than BU can be a true force to be reckoned with in the M.V.C. and hopefully beyond.
My next "unknown" question is if this team can win enough road games to compete for the M.V.C. title ? This is where toughness comes in to play for me. I should say toughness/confidence to take over a game and be aggressive enough to take/hold a lead to a victory. Unless the M.V.C. and N.C.A.A. Tourniment's are going to be held at Bradley, this team must learn how to win on the road to have a chance for a special season.
Some on here may take this as me being negitive but that's the difference between being a Homer and a realist to me. I long for the glory days to begin again and not have to look back to the past successful team's Bradley has had but to look forward once again to up-coming glory days ahead.
There are other "unknown's" about this team for me but hopefully those question's will be answered as the team begin's playing into the season. I wish the Bradley team great success this season. I wish all Bradley fans great success and to be proud of this team as they grow. I wish I could win just once on these darn parley cards.

Well, sorry LilB, I don't feel I have to share with anybody why I selected 25-30. But when the season is over, I will gladly explain why we did or didn't get 25-30 wins. (just like horse racing, I'm a better handicapper AFTER the race is over) :lol:

Would agree about non-conf record but think WC is winnable-LM and Detroit are the 2 games that wiil be tough along w/ South Cal could give is trouble but we should prevail. A lot of posters have saying Detroit is weak but if they come together quickly they will be very strong as they have a very good recruiting class.
W/I the Valley MSU and WS scare me most and you know somehow we will lose at least 1 game to CU and 1 or 2 more that we should never have lost. Also don't count UNI out as they have some experience returning because of BJ uses his bench
20 wins is acheivable but figure we will find a way to lose 2-4 games we shouldn't and end up around 18 wins.
They had better be playing at a different time then 2:30 because too much talent and experience for that to happe, no reason why this team won"t challenge Wichita for 1st, and should not finish worse then 3rd.

I figured 8-3 non-con record
13-5 conference record....losses @ CU, MSU, WSU and then losses to 2 of these teams at home.
so I am saying 21-8, possibly 22-8 or 22-9 depending on the Bracketbuster....

I would tend to agree with this. I really want BU to make that jump to the next level. Every year I think this is the year BU uses all the talent and makes a run.
It just seems every year that BU loses too many games that it should win. We have to start dominating at home again, and try to go at least .500 on the road in conference.
I like this post! I voted 25-30, because I don't know I just have a special feeling about this year even more so than any other year. Why not dream big?

21-9, non con losses to USC, Detroit OR Jackson st, Western Carolina and Duke. 13-5 in Valley...all road losses to CU,UNI, WSU, MSU, and a surprise loss to start conf at ISU Blue. I think we finish 2nd or 3rd at worst barring our usual December injury and play Sunday for dancing privileges in what will be a 1 bid league again.

Man, I hope we learn from our mistakes at ISU Blue. Everyone was taking double-pump fade-away shots in 1st half. We should beat ISU Blue - not really a home-court advantage there. You could be right though, as everyone wants to get off to a great start when Valley play begins.
