I hope no one expects 19 wins based on this prediction. That would be incredible but certainly seems like a reach. I like how the team is being coached and the progression - and they are kind of fun to watch which is also nice.

I agree. I still think 15 is resonable and then two wins in the AAC tournament.

Dont look now, but Realtimerpi is up to 20 projected wins. This tastes better than @Calibull's Blake Barnett koolaid.

I have a feeling these projections may change once we hit conference play, but it's fun for now and I'd still expect more improvement in the conference

Whose is this Antigua you speak of?

A lovely Caribbean nation that offers no basketball talent.

Not even good enough to make the cut for the Beach Boy's song Kokomo used in the pretty weak film Cocktail.
That's how bad Antigua is!

Bulls up to 96 in the NET rankings now. Unbelievable considering where we started.

I was one of the few people on this board who said we could win 17 or more games. So be careful with that Koolaid, I've been making it for the basketball team too.  At some point I'm due a good brew.

Also, Blake Barnett is going to break every USF single season passing record next season.  With a full spring practice and year with St. Felix, watch.

You should get a pass on this past season's prediction of BB, considering who the OC was. I suspect he could have done well very in the right system. I really hope Charlie doesn't go with something similar in 2019, but I'm pretty sure he will...

Right now, this team isn't consistent enough on offense, turns the ball over too much and shoots free throws too poorly for me to even think about 20 wins. Defense and rebounding will keep them in a lot of games, but guys have to step up on offense and take care of the ball.

That said, I'm excited to use my voucher pack and watch these guys in person.

That along with the projected RPI and the expanded NIT fields should get us in. real-time RPI also doesn’t account for conference tournament games, so theoretically 20 wins would be possible. Despite our hot start, I think the most recent projection is a little high, but think .500 is doable.

Temple making the NIT was aided by a Top 10 SOS last year.

RPI is no longer used...the NET system is what is being used.
