Win-loss projections for UD
I was curious how accurate some of these win-loss projections for UD are, so I wanted to see what the projections were before UD has played/before the projections change. None of these projections include the last 2 games in Maui. These are the only projection sites that I'm aware of.
1. http://www.rpiforecast.com/teams/Dayton.html
-projecting 18-11(9-7)
-expected rpi of 78
2. http://www.teamrankings.com/ncaa-bas...rs/projections
-projecting 19-10(9-7), 4th place in A10 behind VCU/St. Louis/ LaSalle. Basically tied with Richmond for 4th place though, only 0.2 difference.
-36% chance of UD making the NCAA tournament this year.
http://www.teamrankings.com/ncaa-tou...t-predictions/
3. http://realtimerpi.com/rpi_110_Men.html
-haven't made any projections yet
-Edit: projecting 18-11(9-7)
4. Ken Pomeroy did a projection, but it appears to be behind a paywall.

Unless UD learns QUICK from their first game they will see a record close to .500 the entire season. 13-16 wins if they continue to play like they did against IPFW today.

Well a measuring stick comes out Wednesday. Fordham destroyed SF today.
And of course SF2 beat Miami Friday. Of course this years Miami looks nothing like last years Miami.

It was IPFW's first game...and like us they lost 2 of their top scorers from last year...and Forbes, like Sibert, is a first year transfer...and they didn't appear to have any chemistry problems.
Why is it that we're always the team that needs time? and excuses??

After today's non-loss, I am not only thankful that we didn't get invited to the Big East, I'm also grateful that we didn't get invited to join the Summit Conference.

Not much solace from any of these projections, IPFW is projected to finish 4th in the Summit at 17-13, 7-7, which would give them a RPI around 170 and a 6% chance of making the NCAA tournament. rpiforecast has them finishing at #270. But, maybe they will surprise everyone and do better than everyone thinks they will.
St. Francis of Pennsylvania is projecting to be even worse than IPFW though, so that's good.
There haven't been many modern era home opening losses:
lost to Vanderbilt 1992-1993 season
lost to Murray State 1997-1998 season
lost to Cincinnati 2000-2001 season
lost to Eastern Kentucky 2004-2005 season.

One each for O'Brien, Purnell, and Gregory?

1 for O'Brien, 2 for Purnell, and 1 for Gregory. In Purnell's defense though, that 2000-2001 Cincinnati team at that time was ranked #22 in the polls.

In the Govt. we have a motto. " In order to hit the target, shoot first and whatever you hit, call it the target."I'll make my predictions after the season is over.

I'm with Tony. I'll stick to my original projection of 21-10. One game isn't going to change my mind.

I May Be Way Off
Last year I was unfortunate enough to hit it on the nose at 17-14. This year the team I saw yesterday dominate IPFW will go 24-7. They will be 12-4 in A-10 play finish in third place and earn an at large bid to the NCAA. Am I crazy or what? The only good thing about being a defensively challenged team is playing in a season where the rules have changed to benefit the offense. Defense may be proved to be irrelevant in men's college basketball.

Seth Davis from today's SI.com
VCU 96, Illinois State 58
Lawdy, lawdy, I am telling you to get to a TV screen near you and check out the Shaka Show post haste. Yes, you'd expect the Redbirds to be overmatched given that they have 10 new players, but this was still an overpowering performance by VCU -- especially in the first half, after which, the Rams led 52-22. As I've said several times already, I believe this will be the meanest, fastest, deepest, most Havoc-inducing team that Smart has coached at VCU. He played 11 guys and substituted in waves. You just can't prepare for that kind of unrelenting pressure.
The main takeaway I had from watching VCU is that Juvonte Reddic is a much-improved player. The 6-9 senior forward has always been a factor around the rim, but he has really developed his offensive repertoire, extending his shooting range almost to the three-point line. Reddic is able to roam away from the basket because of the addition of Florida State transfer Terrance Shannon, a 6-8, 240-pound redshirt senior who loves contact, sets ultra-wide screens and is a beast on the glass. In other words ... I spy a Glue Guy!
We'll know a lot more about VCU after it plays a true road game at Virginia on Tuesday night, but regardless of whether the Rams win that one, I could envision them going undefeated in the Atlantic 10 this season. They're that good.

I agree with Alberto Strasse...24-7 and with a little luck 25-6 and a top 25 ranking. It's going to be a great year to be a Flyer Fan!

http://realtimerpi.com/rpi_110_Men.html came out with their projection: 18-11(9-7). So, the consensus is 18 or 19 wins with 10 or 11 losses and 9-7 in the A10.

18-11 is a strange projection since we play 31 games.

Yes, they can't project the last 2 Maui games since the opponent is to be determined. I'm pretty sure that they will make a projection the night before or the day of those 2 games.
I am wondering if realtimerpi.com or teamrankings.com uses their own model/formula to come up with their projections, or if they use somebody else's formula. The rpiforecast site uses the Sagarin PREDICTOR to come up with their projections.
I'm pretty sure Ken Pomeroy came up with his own model/formula.

I think we're somewhere between a Sweet 16 team, and an NIT bubble team.
I've seen a couple games where I was certain it would be a long season, and I just watched us walk in and comfortably beat GT, too. Our record depends on what team we see more of.

I think the big difference in optimism is due to Sibert. He is producing just as we hoped he would which is huge. It gives the team another shooter and someone who can create on the perimeter. If someone had told us that Pierre would have two points and two boards we would have assumed it was a loss.
Scott is playing like the guy from the Red/Blue game which nobody expected. He is physical and has really advanced from last season
Price is playing well and Smith is really coming on.
If the team continues to work on the D it could be fun

Then add in the contributions off the benchfrom Pollard and of course Vee. This team is deep and will get contributions from different players each game.

I am hoping all those future projections work better than the projections for fantasy football. I don't know how many times this year I have been projected to score high points for the week and ended up in the bottom.

I originally had us at 10 - 5 in OOC. Have now moved that to 13 - 2 ( Ill. State now a win). Ole Miss is our remaining loss although Iona scares me.
Staying with 11 - 5 in A -10 play. Losses to VCU (only home loss); UR, GM, St. Joe's & St. Lou.
How does 24 - 7 sound?

I haven't put a number on it but my preseason prediction is we make the NCAA, they have the talent and the schedule lines up. No excuses. If we go 8-8 in conference you might not see me around here anymore.

I could see this team finishing 13-2 in OOC and going 12-4 in the A10 with losses at Mississippi, at home to VCU, at SLU, at Richmond, and at home to UMass for 25-6.
Who knows though, they could be better or worse than that. How about 30-1 and a #1 seed?
