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 #295 in the preseason
What the computer saw going in
- →Last season: #304 in the country (-13.8), 14-17.
- →0% of last season's minutes are back.
- →8 transfers in, led by Kareem Watson (Delaware State, 3.8 ppg), Cam Estevez (Fairfield, 3.5 ppg), Taj Bryant (Sacred Heart, 3.2 ppg). Transfers moving up a level are counted cautiously.
- →Lost Nick Jones (14.9 ppg, now at New Orleans), Jaden Baker (9.3 ppg), John Awoke (7.1 ppg, now at Morgan State).
- →New head coach: Dwan McMillan, replacing Donald Copeland. A coaching change usually costs a little in year one.
