Anybody remember that poll I put up about us winning 18 games?

The vast majority of people here said we would get there before the season. I tried to tell you people. I hate having to say I told you so but......</p>

Shouldn't you wait until you are guaranteed to be right before you start the "I told you so" stuff?

As young as this team is, typically they get drastically better as they get used to the speed of the game. Not saying they will but it is possible. I figure we will win 15 or 16.

Apparently you don't. Apparently you are so desperate to say it that you are posting it in December when we still have 20 reg season games plus at least one in amps.

but 18 is going to be just out of reach for this team I think. I didn't say I told you so I just said I hate having to say it. Semantics my friend semantics.

...godawful bad the SEC is in basketball this year.

The last time I looked @ the conference RPIs, the SEC was ranked 6th or 7th.

My point is, MSU is a mediocre team that will be playing equally mediocre teams once league play begins.

In a typical year when the SEC is strong, 18 wins would not be reachable for this team.

But this year, it's possible.

even if we win the last 4 non conf. We'll need to go 7-9. Fortunately, we play TN on the road so that won't take up a home loss. Florida at home is where we could lose serve.

The disappointing thing is that for 2 straight years, we've dug a huge hole for ourselves (even if you consider our goal the NIT)

I think we contribute greatly to that.

Look, I think we finish better than 500. We just don't have enough offensive fire power to come from behind if we get down. We are solid on D but when we need a big shot everybody on the court looks at each other. We don't have anyone we can lean on to start a late comeback like we have in the past.

on the floor at the same time, same old story.Yea really looks like Stans is a Great recruiter. Looks like it won't be very long till GB "The Cleaner " will be hitting the friendly skies again searching for his 4th head coach in such a short period of time.I never dreamed in my lifetime that Sharon Fanning's tittydawgs would have a way better record than our Men's team.Well, a couple might could be called men, most of them still little boys.

Do you still hate having to say I told you so?

The time sure does fly. Glad we exceeded the 18 mark by 5. I will take 23 wins any season with a brand new club.

but in a way the SEC tourney should be included since all 12 teams play in the tourney regardless of their record.
