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 #296 in the preseason
What the computer saw going in
- →Last season: #266 in the country (-9.3), 11-16.
- →33% of last season's minutes are back.
- →1 transfer in, led by Landon Williams (Niagara, 5 ppg). Transfers moving up a level are counted cautiously.
- →Lost Kareem Thomas (15.9 ppg, now at Seton Hall), Connor Amundsen (9.5 ppg, now at Pacific), Brandon Mitchell-Day (12 ppg).
- →New head coach: Brett MacConnell, replacing Dave McLaughlin. A coaching change usually costs a little in year one.
The preseason rating counts for about five games, then real results take over.
