Predict the 2019/2020 basketball record
2 years ago, my preseason prediction was too high
Last year, I nailed it

I'm gonna sip the kool-aid and say that we
1) finish in the top pod
2) end the regular season at 22-9

RE: Predict the 2019/2020 basketball record
I think 20 wins is about Eshan’s ceiling, and that’s with packing the schedule with a bunch of less than stellar teams.
I think we have 17 wins going into the pod play at the end of the season, and how many more we get depends on the pod.

Sounds right. I'd say 20 max.

KenPom has UAB at 17-10 before the conference tournament, and 8-6 in the conference.

RE: Predict the 2019/2020 basketball record
I like Ehsan and want him and the team to succeed so, with those rose-colored glasses on, I'll say whatever gets them to top-pod.

As mentioned, KenPom has them finishing 17-10 before pod play so 20-12 perhaps after pods. A lot of the losses KenPom is predicting are only a couple of points on the road so maybe, with some luck, they'll get to 23 or 24 wins.

RE: Predict the 2019/2020 basketball record
17-10 before bonus play starts, 8-6 in conference. Add a couple losses in bonus play depending on location and matchups. That won't get us an NIT bid. If we go 20-12 or worse I don't think Ehsan needs to stick around. Got a lot of good pieces this year, finally have size and good guards.

So a sincere question here. What is it that you like about Ehsan as a coach? What makes him, and his teams, stand out to you in positive basketball terms? If you were AD, and if we had a president who cared, and you wanted to hire Ehsan, what case would you make to your president that he would be a great hire for UAB? Anyone is welcome to answer.

Well I wasn't going to say it.

Shouldn't have to be said but post-season for UAB basketball should mean the NIT or NCAA. The expectations for this program didn't change from the SunBelt to the Great Midwest to CUSA. We even fired our founders son when he couldn't meet them. Don't see a good enough reason to dumb down 30+ years of tradition.

So far there is only one UAB men's basketball coach not to get the team to the NIT or NCAA in their first four years (it was three years before Haase). He should have this season to get that done or move on.

Well...I had us starting 5-0. I had Utah Valley as a tossup, but I give tossups to the home team.
Didn’t see us losing our biggest offensive threat after 3 games.

Going into the Mount St. Mary’s game...my updated prediction is 16-15

RE: Predict the 2019/2020 basketball record
This isn't Gene Bartow's environment of college basketball.

It isn't even Haase's environment.

Win the regular season & at least get an NIT bid. (can't do it without it)
Win the conference tournament championship and get the NCAA bid. (can't do it without it)

Simple as that.

With that said, a regular season record doesn't mean much except for conference tournament seeding and getting prepared for the conference tournament.

side note: the environment wouldn't change with a different coach who used to play here.
