Over/under on number of wins the rest of the way? 2.5? I'll take the under.

See, I'm a positive guy, but let's face it.
Greg Christopher's last few high profile hires have been somewhat, errr, mediocre?
Jury is still out on Billy O'Conner, but he was an easy hire from the baseball staff as was Travis Steele. Brian Neal has been underwhelming.

I like Greg a lot, but miss Bobo.

His Women's Soccer hire appears to be a good one (not Greg's fault the first coach left to go work with the National Team).

True Dat.

Let's don't lose Andy Fleming.

I've watched a lot of the games so far, and so far I like what I see.

This group seems to have a different feel than the last couple of teams. I feel like there is better team chemistry and there are more offensive threats than there have been in the past. The team is young (mostly freshmen and sophomores), so there is room for growth.

We will have to see what happens in Big East play. The league is tough this year-- 4th in the RPI.

For what it's worth, warrennolan.com predicts an overall record of 17-12 and 7-11 in Big East play. Still not great, but a big improvement from what we've seen lately.
