Actual results so far plus the rest of the seasonplayed out 10,000 times with the win chance for each game (non-Division I opponents count as 97% wins). The title is the regular-season crown; conference tournaments aren't included. Later rounds of holiday tournaments are added once the opponent is known.
Why #72 in the preseason
What the computer saw going in
- →Last season: #72 in the country (+13.0), 17-16.
- →9% of last season's minutes are back.
- →6 transfers in, led by Paulius Murauskas (Saint Mary's, 18.4 ppg), Joel Foxwell (Portland, 15.6 ppg), Ben Defty (Boston University, 15.1 ppg). Transfers moving up a level are counted cautiously.
- →1 ranked freshman: JRob Croy (#131).
- →Lost Maurice Odum (16.4 ppg), Massamba Diop (13.6 ppg, now at Gonzaga), Noah Meeusen (5.9 ppg, now at DePaul).
- →New head coach: Randy Bennett, replacing Bobby Hurley. A coaching change usually costs a little in year one; his teams have finished 2.3 points above expectations, which counts a little.
The preseason rating counts for about five games, then real results take over.
