Next year's post-season

[The Mad Hatter]

I have to agree, Missouri State will be awful next year, I don't think Lusk is a good coach for some reason. Patterson is there only hope.

Patterson was a senior this year (along with Weems and Bizoukas).

[Rocky Mountain Shock]

Lots of talented newcomers next year. The team will get better throughout the season, but we'll have too many losses early in the season to have a strong at large resume. Our only chance for the NCAAs is a win at the Lou, and you know how well that always goes for us. We'll get a high NIT seed and make a run in that to give our new guys some postseason experience. In 2013, look out world. And I doubt Marshall is done putting together amazing recruiting classes.

What post-season tournament

You Plain Suck!

Uh oh. They lost all the big guns

[WSUwatcher]

Someone (or someones) may want to go back and review their predictions for THIS year -- the thread's available, remember -- before consigning WSU to the NIT or worse mext time around.

[pogo]

I think that unless the mo valley is a 4 team bid next year we have to win in St Louis. The pre season rankings I would think with the loss of 4 more seniors will relegate us to a 5 or 6 pre season pick. I think we will be playing our best basketball in Jan and Feb but early losses will haunt us.

Impossible to predict without knowing the final make-up of the roster

[another shocker]

NCAA all the way

...and coaching staff.

Edit: Head Coach is no longer a concern and that's the main thing.

We all expected a drop off from the NIT team last year, and we made the NCAA's with one of the best teams we've had in years. Marshall and this staff have a way of developing talent. I'm expecting big things from this incoming recruiting class, as well as big things from all the returners. I'd expect to have a year similar to this years team, maybe a slight drop off. I still think we're top 3 in the valley next year.

I expect NCAA.

I expect the Valley to get a minimum of 4 bids next year as well.

It goes against my belief system to post in a DOFO thread, but our post season prospects have been boosted a tad in the last hour or so.

I fully expect the NCAA and a single digit seed from this point forward, until HCGM retires some 20+ years from now!

I think everyone would love to see that happen.

Well... ok fans from 9 other schools probably wouldn't, but who cares what they think anyways?

So has the NCAA total
