Be honest

[knight82]

After that painful five game stretch of Fordham, Seton Hall, Columbia, Maine, and Maryland, how many of you thought we would win five Big Ten games all year?

 

[FrankZ]

I took a hiatus for a reason

 

[Night Man]

No way and there were some doomsayers talking 2-18 or worse in the B1G.

 

[bac2therac]

predicted 5 preseason but after Fordham and Maryland I thought maybe 3 was the ceiling.

 

[RUSK97]

Not I. I predicted 10 wins overall.

 

[RUtrumpet92]

I just want us to go 1-0 on Saturday.

 

[LOU-RU85]

I also predicted 5 at the beginning of the season but your right - after that stretch I was thinking 3.

 

[RUsojo]

Did not. Figured sweep penn st and get 1 from NW and 1 from Illinois to barely get to 4. Pike has found the right buttons to push as the season has progressed. Big win cashing +200 keep it rolling Pike

Where are the guys who said after losing to Northwestern that we wouldn't win another BIG game and would finish 1-19 and not even make 10 total wins. There were several of you so own up please.

 

[PatrickRU92]

Didn't think we'd get 5 before the season even started

For those fans who thought that, if they understood hoops at all not only was tonight easily winnable and truthfully we should have won in a walk but we would have also easily beat NW at home had Eugene played. This team is on the brink of being very good if they would just mature a bit more mentally and physically. Montez and Baker need to follow up, rather then admire their missed front iron or back rimmed threes and if team foul shooting would just improve by 10% then we’d be NIT bound this year.

That stretch may have been the best thing to happen to this program in a while.

[Rokodesh]

I didn’t think we’d win more than 3 conference games after Fordham and Maine

 

[RUonBrain]

I didn’t think we’d win more than 3 conference games after Fordham and Maine

It’s a good thing Fordham is not in the conference

 

[shields]

Didn't know what to think, also injuries to other teams. Like what happened to Nebraska.

 

[Upstream]

Win 5 conference games this year? Right now I'm looking at 7 or 8.

 

[RUTrack94]

I expected 3 ... like the year before ... and the year before. Law of averages. But historical results don’t guarantee the same returns. Team has come together nicely!

 

[higgins3]

Signed up for 14+ wins and I believe I wrote three weeks ago I expected five more wins. I still do.

Since you asked, I thought we would win at least 5 games as long as we started playing the freshman and Carter, taking time from Thiam and Kiss and taking a little time from Doorson (I was wrong there). I posted that right after the MD game. That game pissed me off. I could see that these kids were different... they were fearless, relentless, hungry and talented. They just needed experience. I thought we would have ups and downs with the kids playing, but I thought they gave us our best chance to compete at a much higher level.

I am an optimist by nature, but I think I have a knack for sensing change.
