4-1

[VUfan]

They come Back to play up to their ability 5-0 

[VULB#62]

I'm betting that they all got the Ball State wake-up call. Also betting that no one misses any planes, trains or buses. 5-0.

[justducky]

I don't see 0-5 listed but here are my predictions for the upcoming week.

Monday- It is decided that Tevonn needs an additional month of rest and that EVN now needs surgery on both ankles to bring his total being back into perfect balance.
Tuesday- Alec is signed to an immediate contract with a top European team because of his single-handed second half efforts at Ball State.
Wednesday-Vashil with his Masters degree in hand finally asks himself what he is doing here with all these underachievers and promptly skips town with the wife and family.
Thursday- Shane and LSU reconcile and he is welcomed back to his previous home with the understanding that any more Ball St like performances will result in his scholarship being pulled for the second time.
Friday- Realizing the titanic dimensions of the teams problems the rest of the players and staff search in vain for a lifeboat then all jump ship into the ice cold water of reality.
Saturday-January 2'nd - I finally decide to sober up from my 5 week long drinking binge and try to force down a little coffee.

4-1, they will lose a game to Belmont.

[zvillehaze]

Valpo will likely be favored in all 5 games and could easily be 5-0.  With that said, I voted 4-1 because the road games at ISU and Belmont will both be difficult games.

[vu84v2]

After the abysmal loss at Ball State, I think that the team will play better but will still have minor issues. I predict 4-1 with a loss at either Belmont or Indiana State. 5-0 would make up for most of the dissapointment of the Ball State loss.

[historyman]

3-2.

Losses to ISU and on road to Belmont.

[HC]

4-1, road games are tough.

[bbtds]

2 - 3.

Crusaders barely beat the Sycamores in Terre Haute and then go on a three game losing streak due to further injuries. They lose to Chicago State, Missouri State (all hell breaks loose and Valpo fans think suicide) then a loss to Belmont in Nashville and the team has to reach back and get it together before the conference season. They do and lose only one game at Oakland all conference season.

Just a quick reminder that voting closes tomorrow shortly before 1p CT. 

[atkins]

Loss to Belmont....Blown out if we play even remotely like we did at BSU.  Rest are wins, but ISU can easily beat us if we are not sharp.

There ought to be some Christmas Nashville visitors that go for a price like that to watch some quality Div. I basketball during their country christmas trip to Opryland or The Gaylord  Opryland Resort.

19 of 34 voters were on the money at 4-1. I optimistically went with 5-0.
