If there is a ? mark at the end of your prediction you have not yet given me your prediction of the net point differential in MVC Road Games.

The only place this actually may be needed as a tiebreaker is between trufan and vancedave56 or the tie between molly jabali and shocks02.

Please provide your prediction for the net point differential in MVC road games before the 1st MVC road game. Do not duplicate a prediction already made for this item. Unless indicated otherwise all point differential predictions will be considered negative. FYI the net point differential in MVC road games for last year's team was -25.2 PPG.

We will revisit the predictions at the end of the non-confence season, at the mid-point of the confernce season and, of course, at the end of the regular season.

Personally, I am rooting for trufan and vancedave56!

[WuDrWu]

I know it doesn't matter but I'll say -35.

No way, Dr. Jose! Or at least I hope not! ;-)

There were at least 2 SINGLE road games we didn't cover last year. NOBODY is buying Jody Adams stock as fast as I am, but I really think the number is closer to 100. We are still lacking talent and depth and it is a LONG season to play with 10. I do believe we will be better and better this year, but I am not at all certain we have the horses no matter the coaching talent.

[1972Shocker]

I'm not too worried about going only 10 deep as you rarely play more than that in a game anyway.

However, that ASSUMES we can avoid the injury bug and that seems easier said than done in Women's basketball.

You may be right about not having enough fillies, but Marisah and Val are solid additions to this year's roster and Ashley and Haleigh are pretty
decent additions off the bench also. The key though may actually be if we can get some decent mileage out of Sam Smith.

Time will tell.

[trufan]

I will go with a single digit road loss differential...since a few wins on the road will drop the average. Let's say 8.9 pts.

vancedave56, molly jabali and shockso2:

Still need your estimate of the net point differential in MVC Road Games for potential tiebreaking purposes.

Denny Crane is on an island so I don't really need this final tiebreaker for him, but Denny you are welcome to make a prediction for this if you like.

9-9 conf
