MU men's hoops poll question

Including three possible games in the NEC Tounament MU has 33 games on the schedule (and maybe beyond)

1. MU wins how many games this season?
2. The leading scorer will be?
3. What place does MU finish in the NEC regular season?

Hey Tony! Here come my predictions for the whole season's schedule:
11/10-11/12 Cox Classic: 1-2 with a strong showing and a bigtime scare to either ODU or Clemson along with a win over Ark. St.
11/18: at Houston, 11/20 at TxAMCC: Split Texas swing (2-3)
11/25: ST. Peters: win in home opener over a team depleted without Keekee Clark!(3-3)
11/28 at Penn: loss to a tough team that is very good at home (3-4)
11/30 at Rider: win over rival (4-4)
12/4 at Seton Hall: enjoy this one Bobby Gonzalez, it's gonna be a tough year (4-5)
12/7 LIU: win at home in NEC opener over a tough senior-laden LIU team (5-5, 1-0)
12/9 Hartford: back to back home wins, optimism rises and Boyland Gym is rockin' (6-5, 1-0)
12/17 Stockton: a nice tune-up to continue staying crisp and fresh, confidence continues to build for the MU crew with a classy rout (I don't believe this win will count in the standings for real, but what the heck we could always use a nonconference win I'll give it to them (7-5, 1-0)
12/29 Lehigh: Home cookin' continues to work out as MU wins again. By this time, the rotation should be settling and roles defined (8-5, 1-0)
12/31 LMU: A tough opponent and a tough day. LMU hands MU it's first home defeat of the year and ruins some of the student section's New Years Victory plans (8-6, 1-0)
1/4 Wagner: A familiar opponent and a familiar NEC win at home (9-6, 2-0)
1/6 Mount St. Mary's: Back to back home wins, 3 straight to start off the NEC yr. (10-6, 3-0)
1/11-1/22 NEC Road trip AT Sacred Heart, QU, CCSU and St. Francis (NY): 2-2 long road trip, can't wait to return to the friendly confines of Boyland Gym (12-8, 5-2)
1/25 St. Francis PA: easy win, restores the confidence and excitement back home (13-8, 6-2)
1/27 Robert Morris: A long, hard battle that results in a tough MU home loss. MU now 0-3 against RMU last 2 yrs, scary. (13-9, 6-3)
2/3 St. Francis NY: Another bounceback win for the Hawks (14-9, 7-3)
2/5-2/8 AT FDU and Wagner: 2 NEC road games against NEC rivals and tough places to play results in a SPLIT (15-10, 8-4)
2/12: FDU: Win at home against biggest rival, this is a game on TV and the fans will go nuts as MU has a strong performance displaying FDU's weaknesses and falloff from the yr. before. (16-10, 9-4)
2/15 CCSU: Another home win against a team that just isn't as good as the yr. before (17-10, 10-4)
2/17 At MSM: A nice late-season road win, MU sets their sights on the #1 Seed in the NEC tourney (18-10, 11-4)
2/20 At LIU: LIU has a bigtime shooting night ala last year's regular season game at LIU and MU is dealt a loss (18-11, 11-5)
2/23 Sacred HEart: Win at home for MU (19-11, 12-5)
2/26 At St. Francis PA: Another solid win leading into the NEC tournament and giving MU a 20 win season (20-11, 13-5)
MU ends the season tied for the #1 seed in the NEC but loses out to RMU based on head to head tie breaker loss.
NEC tournament:
1.RMU
8.St. Francis NY
4.Quinnipiac
5.Central Conn.
2.MU
7.Wagner
3.LIU
6.Sacred Heart
RMU and Central will advance along with MU (21-11, 14-5) and LIU. RMU will defeat Central and MU will squeak by LIU thanks to a big inside game from Alston, Bunch and Hallet (22-11, 15-5). MU will defeat RMU for the first time in 2 yrs. and MU will be marching onto the NCAA tournament for the 3rd time in 4 years!(23-11, 16-5)
All Conference Team:
G-James Williams-LIU
G-Jeremy Chappell-RMU
F-Jarrid Frye-Sacred Heart
F-Marques Alston-MU
F-AJ Jackson-RMU
Player of the Year:
AJ Jackson-RMU
Rookie of the Year:
Jeremy Goode-MSM
Comeback Player of the year:
Joey Henley-Sacred Heart
Coach of the Year:
Dave Calloway-MU

Monmouth: will go on to lose to a bigtime team as a #14 or 15 seed and end the year 23-12. The leading scorer will be Marques Alston with Deki Delic coming in a close 2nd. It should be a fun year in West Long Branch. Please respond with your thoughts everyone.

This was awesome!

Remember..Stockton game does not count on MU's record.

Don't know if they can split in Texas. TCC pretty good club.

I think maybe there's an upset chance at Seton Hall. If MU is ever gonna top the Pirates this has to be the year.

Am not ruling out a home win over LMU.

I think 14-15 wins very possible in NEC. Maybe I'm over estimating this club. My question mark is depth up front.
