Falcons Hoop Predictions....Game by Game....
So, my annual exercise in humility begins again. Here I am--before the season--predicting the results of each and every Falcon game. I take my medicine...here are last year's picks and results....last year, I had 17 right and 9 wrong which isn't bad, really. I picked that we would go o-for-the-road in the MAC.
Anyway, here's this year's list. A couple points:
- I can't pick the bracket buster because I don't know who we are playing. Get over it.
- I have us 14-14, and 7-9 in the MAC. Even a .500 season is a big improvement for our team.
- We could beat Western Carolina, but if we do, I would have had us 8-4 in the pre-season, and I just don't see that. We could also beat Oakland.
- On the other hand, I have us beating Temple, who is really a poor team. And its at home. We play some bad teams--Temple, Indiana State, Northern Colorado, Eastern Illinois, and Duquesne are all poor teams.
That's how I see the first season of Orrball. I'd love to see it be better. There's a scenario where we gather up all the new coach momentum and put a decent year together, but the closer I look at our team against Wayne State, the more I see how shallow I fear we are. We are farther away than we looked at the end of last year.
