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 #298 in the preseason
What the computer saw going in
- →Last season: #307 in the country (-14.1), 15-19.
- →2% of last season's minutes are back.
- →6 transfers in, led by Braxton Stacker (Southeast Missouri State, 11.8 ppg), Zavier Fitch (Wagner, 6.8 ppg), Ante Beljan (UIC, 3.5 ppg). Transfers moving up a level are counted cautiously.
- →1 ranked freshman: Dionte Neal (#200).
- →Lost Justin Neely (17.9 ppg, now at Colorado), KJ Younger (15.1 ppg, now at Texas State), Valentino Pinedo (7.2 ppg).
- →New head coach: Jerod Haase, replacing Mike Jones. A coaching change usually costs a little in year one.
The preseason rating counts for about five games, then real results take over.
