I'm bracketing us for 6-10 wins. I expect we'll get 7 to 8 wins. Wichita St isn't bad.
8-10 is realistic given our league schedule. We caught a break with the league schedule
We know you are not a TU fan.
Maybe as long as Gonzaga has kept Mark Few. No one thought he would stay in that league or town. May is in a much better climate.
Few was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. May is a midwestern guy. Climate is quite nice though. Facilities are in need of major upgrades. Found it interesting his buyout is only $1M at the end of this season. They will have a hard time keeping him imo.
ever been to Boca Raton, FL?
He'd be an idiot to leave. Plus, he'd have to take on a 5-10% income tax. Screw income tax. Income tax is evil.

Yes. It’s quite nice. May makes $1.25M. His open market value is probably in the $4-5M range. That extra 5-10% income tax is peanuts.
The fact that Original TULSAFAN thinks $1m per year in a state with no income tax is better than $40m guaranteed anywhere else explains a lot, actually.
Teams early on offered Few much more than he was offered to stay at Gonzaga and he stayed. Now he IS making the big bucks.
For every Few there have been 50 coaches who took the money and higher profile job. He is definitely the exception.
Coach K after a very few years at Duke, Scott Drew, Baylor, Randy Bennett, St. Mary's, James Jones, Yale, Ron Cottrell, Houston Baptist, (500 wins), Greg Kampe Oakland, All have had multiple offers to leave but stayed for years. It takes someone whose main love is the city their family lives in and how they are treated by the University and not their love of more money as a goal in life.
No one has ever accused Original of being an economist or even understanding simple math.
