The thing to remember Pomeroy's system is all mathematically calculated, and does not account for injuries or the like. He also predicted every d-1 game win or loss.

Mslacat said:I think the Griz will be better than their preseason schedule might indicate. I see Tinkle making head way in toughening up this team. I think your two interior studs Hasquet and Strait are very discipline and do understand what Tinkle is up to, but the guards are a little soft and wild at times. As Rundle goes so does the Griz. Oh yea and needs to know when to lay it up and when to Jamb it home. I will say 11-5 seems right, BUT the Griz have the talent to finish with a few more wins.
The Cats will be in every game this conference season. If you want to take a win from the Cats you better be ready to play 40 minutes. This team is very discipline and it appears by conference we could have 4 players on any given night could put up major points. I am going to go 11-5 also, based on how they are playing, now. I will feel better after the Cat Griz game.
I am assuming that Portland State is for real, and I also think Weber will be a much better team come conference.

Ballhog said:The outcome will depend upon Tinks ability to get the perimeter
players to run the offense. If the offense runs around Strait,
Hasquet, and Q no one should beat the Griz. However, if the
tendency is to run and gun and huck up 3's we could lose to the likes of northern Colorado.
I hope the former is true. Go Griz :clap:
citygriz said:the griz have great talent, especially with their bigs, but not at the right positions. i don't like either rundles or martin at the point, and staudacher should be a two, not a makeshift three. teams in conference will be able to exploit these matchups. we miss sean watson. i'll take whatever we can get in conference.
tinks's critics make it sound like huse is winning with inferior talent but i think there's talent in bozeman at every position, especially the post. the cats are gonna be more formidable than many think.
next year the griz be outta sight.
