my predictions rest of the way (last 10 games of the reg. season)
16-5 (5-3) as of 2/3/2020
I see us loosing three games (@ cin; @ Tul; @ Hou):
23-8 (12-6)
before the AAC tourney start. If we win the tourney ( 4 games); then we could be 27-8 (16-6), best case scenario.

I'm not sure 25-10 gets us in. 27-8 would do it though if 4 of those are tourney games, win 4 in the tourney it wont matter what our record is but I'm sure you know that.

25-10 should be our bottom ceiling; but this team still have a potential to make the run if Penny and co. figure out how to solve the TOs and zone defense that every team will throw at us after the Tulsa debacle.

They are very well coached team and will throw some decent zones at us...I really see us loosing this. They almost came back and beat us at home.

Agree, I don't think there's any fans that wouldn't take a 7-3 finish. I can't see it with the TOs and without DJ but I would be ecstatic and we'd be comfortably in the tourney.

sheeeeshh....how do you predict?
I thought we'd have 4 losses or so during JW suspension (F you NCAA). We only ended up losing to Georgia and WSU.
Penny continues to surpass my expectations. In recruiting. In game planning. In results.
This team has faced more adversity than any team in my memory.
Rayjon
Wiseman
DJ flu
Lester broken hand
DJ PCL
It's gotten to the point that we're a fun underdog story, as odd as that is after the pre-season expectations.

THIS
Have overcome some extreme odds, throw out Tulsa as a one off (just an awful loss, it happens) and sitting at 17-4. Also started the season off without Dandridge. Due to the starting lineup with the former player that quit on his team, we most likely would have started 5 Freshman for most of the season, and would have 4 more coming off the bench. So most logical basketball fans should have expected at least 5, maybe 6 losses during the regular season, putting us, at let’s say 26-5 at best, heading into AAC tourney.
Realistically still may finish at 23-8, with a few wins in the tourney 25-9 or 26-9.
With the cards that’s been dealt us, very good season, and we will get in. I’m not a rah-rah guy, rather look at the situations. It appears, so many are negative and have us buried while the body is still warm.

I think we should be able to beat USF and ECU at home. Every other remaining game could go either way, IMO. I agree that we need to go 7-3 to get in. That would make us 23-8, reg season. Anything less is iffy. Also would need to make the AACT semis.
