      Unfortunately I failed to consult with Kung Wu (as Pogo suggested) regards how small my predicted loss digit for the Shockers will be this year; but with the official schedule released - I think the Shockers will finish the regular season with no more than 4 losses. Who really knows but IMO the most likely potential losses are:

      Nov 22 - Championship game in Maui Invitational

      Dec 02 - @ Baylor

      Feb 18 - @ Cincinnati

      Feb 24 - @ SMU

        Official HockeyShock Over/Under for losses this season: 1.

        Take the Under.

        In seriousness, though, 76's list is a good one, but I'm thinking that more likely than losing @Cincy or SMU will be @UCF on March 1. The first (and second, for that matter) Cincy game will be super-hyped, and the SMU game will get plenty of attention too. That UCF game smacks of the classic Indiana road trip loss - getting caught napping - that the team has suffered in the past.

          Agree with your reasoning regards the UCF game; for me that is a potential high risk game. Even with five (5) losses I like the Shockers' chances for a good seed in March Madness (certainly better than the seeds the Shockers had the last two tournaments).

            I don't understand how anyone would be napping on UCF. They're going to be very good. With that said, even if we are mentally prepared, a loss in Orlando would still not surprise me.

              Won't happen because I will be there (if I can get tickets).

                8 - 5
                9 - 6
                10 - 7
                11 - 8
                12 - 9
                13 - 10
                14 - 11
                15 - NIT
                16 - NIT

                I love the 2017-2018 schedule!!!
                I've been wrong about some stuff this year. Gonna spend a moment enjoying that I was dead on with this post from 8 months ago.

                  I'm VERY confident that if WSU only has 3 losses on selection sunday, they will be a 1 seed.
                  I never make predictions, right ShockerFever?

                    Waiting for a nasty reply that glosses over the fact that Fever DIDN'T make a prediction in this thread.

                    You think we're picking up a loss in the NCAAT? Psshht.

                  Final SOS... 29.

                    And Michigan State will get a 2 seed and Notre Dame is tournament-worthy.

                    I keed, I keed.

                    I don't always agree with you Jamar Howard 4 President , but I gotta give props for some impressive prognosticating there. Nice job.

                      Now we know who paid the refs off to make sure we had the right number of losses!!!

                        Right about the seed 8 months ago; wrong about it 3 days ago.

                          3 of 4 is 50% when you just throw out 2 data points you don’t like.

                          I feel like JH4P dedicated his profile pic to Fever, and vice versa.
