Probably 4 losses. We lost 2 last year, conference was better but we also had X Thames. With our lack of firepower this year I can see 4 losses. We probably would have had 4 last season if not for Polee's 3 against Boise and X Thames 3 against USU. Those kind of shots are likely to not fall this season.

We will lose 6 or 7 we will not win the conference. This team is weak. No leadership. A bunch of good players that don't play as a team. This is a coaching issue. Because they don't run any sort of offense. No point guard thus no leader on the court. Showed again today. Kind of looks that way. The only leadership we'll see on this team is by example. This is what I think is one of the problems.
Shrigley/Polee = Rahon
I question whether those two guys have the mental makeup to overcome their lack of confidence, specifically on the road. If they don't snap out of their funk we'll lose a good share of goat games away. We were expecting Rahon to pull out of it when healthy, but he never did. OTOH if those two get it together the team will get its mojo back. It's almost like they never got over that Arizona loss.

3 or 4 at worst. We have the most overreacting fan base in the history of the universe. People need to calm down. We didn't lose to Alcorn State or Grambling. We're going to be fine once the pieces sort themselves out.

he said "Aztecs" not "LoBLOWS". Though 5 or 6 may be a little bit of a conservative estimate for New Mexico

Undefeated in league as long as we don't traditionally lose the away game at Wyoming.

Put me down for three. Unlv, Wyoming (Away), and Boise.

@csu, @wyo, @bsu, plus 1 more slip up along the way. Until this team proves it can win a road game, I'm assuming a handful of L's away from Viejas. 10-3 OOC, 14-4 in league. I believe we will win the MWC tournament and finish 27-7 and get around a 6 seed in the NCAAs.

you guys still high on this team, just be realistic. Here is my prediction: Loss: @unlv @csu @wyo @bsu @unm home loss: CSU UNLV
so 7 losses in conference but that is just my opinion given the way they played recently and cant shoot. All of those loses will just be that, shooting as other teams fare better and dont start the talk about defense, there are many NCAA teams with defense as good as us if not better. Cincy to me have better defense based on last night game and they pressed the way it was suppose to be (full court), I dont know their dept but they seem to rattled the aztecs all game. Any game the Aztecs play will not be a breeze as their shooting is far from decent, and knowing them - they will play down to level of competition as always because to them playing a weak team is not a challenge. I knew from the start when they were ranked to start the season, they were going to tanked given the players ive seen coming back. I just thought the incoming freshmen were the difference maker but havent seen it yet so the pre-season were just that, potential based on the freshmen. Anyhow, they will probably win more than they lose but dont expect this team to go far unless they get lucky such as verus Utah, BYU and Arizona in the tourney if they win the MWC tourney.

5 loses max. That game at UNLV is a toss-up, really depends on how they have improved. But I think they are fully capable of knocking us off. I hope I am wrong. I feel we lose at the Pit, oops, the Pie.

Man... I thought the dummies would be gone by now. Did I just pick a bad thread to read or are we in full-blown meltdown mode?
Our fans are awesome... Our fans on this board? I think we plateaued a couple years ago.

I say we go 13-5. Road losses to Wyoming, Boise, CSU, and UNLV. We also drop 1 game at home that we have no business losing.

We are not going to get swept by UNLV, my goodness.

I went into the season thinking we would sweep the MW. I still believe that can happen. Our conference is down this year. If we do take a loss, I pick away game at Colorado State.

Tough question to answer for sure, but if we play similar to the way we played at Cincy & Wasington you have to realistically look at 4-6 losses in conference play. Fisher usually does get his team turned around by February, and playing winning basketball with a tough attitude, but with all the frosh and new guys on this team it may take longer.
Or, we may fall a little short this year. You never know, but I hope they do find a way.

I thought they would start out 10-3 and take a 25-6 record into tourney time... I'm sticking with that

Loss at Cincy was our opportunity to get a road win and decent top 4 seed in MM. MW did not have any stellar wins in OOC other then Aztecs win at home vs Utah . So any Aztec loss to an unranked team is going to hurt . MW could very easily be a 1 or 2 bid league at best . So if Aztecs lose games to teams non rated in the top 50 ,Aztecs could be in trouble . First win on the road in MW will be our first road win this year . IMO every loss to a non rated team drops our seed in MM . Not sure now if we are a 4 to 7 seed .?
