We gonna open up 5-0?

[zebnatto]

All home: FDU, Drexel, Saint John, Eastern Michigan, Boston University.

Game six on the road at Miami.

 

[SJScarlet]

Possible. Could also lose as many as 2 or even 3 and I wouldn't be shocked.

 

[zebnatto]

I’d go 4-1–and the loss could be anywhere in there.

 

[MadRU]

St. John’s is going to be tough

St. John’s is going to be tough

Yeah, they should be far and away the best of those 5 teams. Losing any other game would be bad, although with this young a team who knows.

St. John's brings back Ponds and some other peices. May be a lot tougher if Mustafa Heron is granted a hardship waiver to play immediately

 

[Knights 1212]

St. John's and Eastern Michigan should both be pretty good. If we gel together quickly we could get all 5 but we also could lose a game or two.

Very difficult to assess at this moment. I’m definitely very pumped for the season but we are a very young team and we lost our leading scorer. I think we will find a more balanced attack and we have more shooters but sometimes it takes a while to put it all together. St. John’s is going to be difficult and those other teams.. we just don’t yet dude!

 

[Scarlet Shack]

Really need to start 5-0 with those next three games...

Boston University’s Max Mahoney, a Ridge HS guy, has the Terriers winning this homecoming game.

He hopes to have a “Jason Dunne” (Hartford) game.

 

[MadRU]

Hoping for a good season but I still think the 2019-2020 season will be the turning point season if everyone comes back and Young Mulcahy and hopefully Massoud are added.

We will not be taken seriously until we are capable of winning Big Ten road games.

 

[Rhuarc]

We need a decent crowd for that St. John's game. They'll definitely bring some fans.

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

We will not be taken seriously until we are capable of winning Big Ten road games.

Actually we won't be taken seriously until we are at least .500 in B1G home games first....10 home games, need to start going 5-5 or better....that means stronger crowd noise, better players, stronger depth off bench.

There's no free lunch on the road in the B1G...the old road days of Depaul, Seton Hall, St. John's and USF are long gone....they are replaced by tougher on campus venues like Welsh Ryan arena with Northwestern, Williams arena Minnesota etc...

 

[Knights 1212]

Max Mahoney is a good player but I would hope we have someone to keep him in check. Linden did it 3 times with a much smaller team.

Please

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Just looking at last year and who returns (don't know about newcomers)

FDU #274 and losing nobody but a guy who played 1/2 year 85%
Drexel #251 losing 2 starters 85%
St. John's #74 losing a starter 45%
E Michigan #143 losing a starter 70%
Boston U #258 losing a few rotation guys 85%

That puts us 3.7-1.3

I'm sorry, but losing three would be shocking to anyone who follows the program.

 

[SJScarlet]

I'm sorry, but losing three would be shocking to anyone who follows the program.

I was shocked we lost to Stony Brook and Hartford, so I try not to be shocked anymore, haha. I could see losing to St Johns, then a close one to EM, then the team feeling down and being in a battle with BU.

That said, I hope we go 5-0 and will be disappointed if we can't take down St John's in front of what should be a great crowd.
