Non-Conference Basketball Schedule Predictions

[HawaiiBUFF]

Hey everyone, glad to be back! I wanted to see how everyone thought our team is going to do doing the Non-Conference stretch. My predictions are below:

11/13 #7 Iowa State (at South Dakota) W
11/17 @ Auburn W
11/20 Portland W
11/22 Ohama W
11/25 Air Force W
11/29 Northern Colorado W
12/2 Fort Lewis W
12/6 @ Colorado State L
12/12 Brigham Young W
12/18 Nicholls State W
12/19 Hampton W
12/22 Penn State W
12/23 Southern Methodist or Kent State W

I know it's pretty tough to say at this point because we haven't seen our team play yet but, here is how I think we are going to do. Best case we open with a hard fought win against Iowa State then follow up with a win at Auburn. A favorable home stretch with fair well. I don't think we can win at a packed house at Colorado State but, overall, I think we walk away 12-1. Worse case, I think we end 9-4. Even if we end at 9-4 we are in a good spot. I hope we can split the difference at 11-2.

[CUFan]

11-2 with losses to Iowa State and CSU. Go Buffs!

 

[Hoops Fan]

They will likely loose 4 ... Iowa State, Auburn, CSU (at Ft Collins) and BYU ... would not surprise me if they tripped up on another for a total of 5 losses

 

[StormTrooper]

Last year turned me into a pessimist. We'll see how it plays out though.

[Goose]

10-3. Lose to ISU, split Auburn & CSU and drop one we shouldn't.

 

[jgisland]

10-3, lose to ISU, lose 1 of the Auburn/CSU and lose 1 of the BYU/Penn St.

 

[BuffG]

10-3, lose to ISU, lose 1 of the Auburn/CSU and lose 1 of the BYU/Penn St.

Im going with 10-3 but..
PSU has to replace Newbill, Travis, & Thorpe. If we lose to PSU then it's last year all over again & it's more like 8-5.

 

[Ruckus]

1-0 after Friday and I'll worry about the rest as they come.

 

[Darth Snow]

no expectations. Too many ifs.

 

[onealcd]

I sure hope scott can go out beating CSU, can't let little brother beat you two years in a row.

 

[Shldr2Shldr]

13-0 non con.

We're gonna win.

 

[CVilleBuff]

9-4 or 10-3. Leaning 9-4 because I need to see proof we have neutral mojo back and I'll write off any road game until proven otherwise.

 

[Buffalo Brad]

11-2

 

[SuperiorBuff]

Undefeated baby!

 

[HawaiiBUFF]

Quick update on everyones predictions. We dropped our first game to Iowa State, which most predicted. Than many had us losing to Auburn which we squeaked out in fun game to watch. Now we are on a little two game win streak. Hopefully we can take care on AF, Northern Colorado and Fort Lewis before heading up to Fort Collins.

I am looking for a 240 to 150-175 point edge on the next 3 games. Fort Lewis may allow us to get to 250-260 to 150-175 point edge.

 

[CVilleBuff]

Encouraged by how we've looked away from home, but I want to see a poised performance at CSU before I gain any real confidence about our ability to not **** up winnable road games.
