M.D.W.S.T.  I thought we'd compare AI bots.  I asked DuckAI to make five bold predictions about the upcoming Ohio basketball season.  Here's what it came up with:

Five bold predictions for the 2025–2026 Ohio Bobcats

1. Jackson Paveletzke and Javan Simmons will be named All-MAC. With former All-MAC selections AJ Clayton and Dior Conners gone, senior point guard Jackson Paveletzke and redshirt junior forward Javan Simmons will need to step up. Paveletzke was a key contributor last season, and Simmons's game developed after transferring from Toledo. With increased roles, both will earn All-MAC honors and become the new faces of the program.
2. The Bobcats will win a non-conference road game against a Power Five opponent. The Bobcats will face Louisville in November, which is a rare opportunity to upset a Power Five team. Ohio will enter the game as an underdog but will lean on the veteran experience of Paveletzke and Simmons to pull off a statement victory for the program.
3. Freshman JJ Kelly will emerge as a key contributor. The highly athletic 6'6" guard from Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, was a prolific scorer in high school and will use his athleticism to make an immediate impact. Although not starting, Kelly will be a crucial sixth man, providing scoring and defensive hustle to help the Bobcats win close games.
4. The Bobcats will reach the MAC Tournament final. After a disappointing early exit in the 2024–2025 MAC Tournament, the Bobcats will advance to the conference championship. The leadership and veteran experience on this season's squad, combined with their non-conference upset, will provide the momentum needed for a deep postseason run.
5. Ohio will secure a spot in the NIT. Even if they fall short in the MAC Tournament final, Ohio's difficult non-conference schedule and strong conference performance will earn them a bid to the National Invitation Tournament. The Bobcats will continue their postseason success from recent years with a chance to compete on a national stage.
