Losing at least 16 points per game is not good 7th

It's not like they have to play with 4 players on the court now...

Travon  about 16 pts per Game, Joe Burton Scored about 10 Pts per game or the last 3  games 16 per Game. Who is going to fill that hole ?   Maybe a3huge can fill that 5th spot :-[

I didn't spot this poll so I didn't vote. With what we have so far seen my expectations are pretty modest. If everybody gets and stays healthy and our team develops some new looks, we could still be 8-10 with a chance at 9-9. Anything  better will require major adjustments with rapid positive results.

On the other hand anything additional going wrong might be the last straw and put us at or near the bottom, say 5-13 with a total meltdown minimum being 4-14.

At this point I think a lot more can go right than wrong so 7-11 or better is my call going into our 3'rd conference game at Bradley.
