Basketball bold predictions

Posted: 11/3/2013 1:33:45 PM

There was a similar thread on the football board prior to the start of the season. So let's hear it - what are your bold predictions for the upcoming basketball season?

Bold player prediction: Jon Smith will win MAC Defensive Player of the Year
Bold team prediction: Our players will combine for at least 20 double-doubles and there will be one triple-double.
Bold conference prediction: I've got a few. 1) Toledo sweeps their games against the West but wins no more than three games against the East 2) Western Michigan finishes within 2 games of .500, prompting administration to finally let him go. 3) Ball State wins 50% more games than they did last year and James Whitford wins COTY.
Bold national prediction: Andrew Wiggins returns to Kansas for his sophomore year.

Bold national prediction: College hoops will gain massive popularity as the New Big East shines on TV.

Not so bold fan prediction: Optimist will purchase Monroe's black seats for one game, then will jump NDour after the final whistle blows in an attempt to consummate his mancrush.

I'll let him have one of my black seats for free if he is going to get amorous with Ndour after a game.

Bold team prediction: Taylor and Willis will be on the floor together a lot in crunch time.
Bold conference prediction: Buffalo wins the MAC Tournament, gets soundly beaten in the NCAAs.
Bold national prediction: Harvard to the Elite 8.

Bold player prediction: Ndour will average a Double-Double by seasons end.

Bold team prediction: Ohio will surpass last years team in PPG and Points Allowed

Bold conference prediction: Akron will slip up in conference play, forced to play at home in the first round, and lose to NIU.

Bold national prediction: Ohio State will change their name to the Fightin' Aaron Craft's... But really a Big Ten team won't make it into the Elite 8.

Hall, Smith, and Ndour all finish averaging at above 10pts per game.
Speaking of bold predictions, anybody else get really annoyed by NCAA Tourny predictions in November?

I'll tell ya where we'll go. Someplace warm. A place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talkin' bout a little place called... ATHENS.

It will be funny to look back and see how ridiculously wrong a lot of these are, probably headlined by mine.

Bold player prediction: Wadley Mompremier will be good with more playing time than expected.
Bold team prediction: Lead the league in personal fouls committed.
Bold conference prediction: Akron and Ohio will run away with #1 and #2 again.
Bold national prediction: I will continue to live in my MAC bubble and know very little about the national game.
BobcatAttack prediction: OCF will declare it basketball season earlier than usual.

Bold player prediction: Stevie Taylor will be bitten by a radioactive spider at Clippinger Hall and lead the conference in dunks and blocked shots
Bold team prediction: Coach Christian will add a walk-on forward named Devin Oates. He will pair with T.J. Hall to form an unstoppable frontcourt combo of Hall & Oates (watch out boys, they'll chew you up)
Bold conference prediction: In order to make the officiating crew more respectable, the MAC will hire workers from Footlocker to officiate games
Bold national prediction: Freak snowstorm hits areas of the country, delaying the NCAA tourney. Ironically, the snowstorm is named O'Shea by the Weather Channel.
BobcatAttack prediction: giacomo will eat his typical ham and Velveeta cheese sandwich for lunch (on Wonder bread)

Bold Prediction: Bobcats win the east, Akron second, they split the series with each other

Bold Prediction: Defence steps up and leads the league

Bold Prediction: Stevie will "steal" the show in Columbus Nov 12

Bold Prediction: 'Kron will have a player suspended for the rest of the year (could happen early or later in the year)
