If the Tigers can avoid an upset, they should go at least 7-6. If they do win the five remaining "easier" games, then even 2-4 in the remaining six games should be seen as encouraging. IMO, they should win one game in KC (either beating KSU or Northwestern). If Tigers can win three, the the non-conference should be at 10-3. That would be very good. It is a very long season, but 9-9 in the SEC would be outstanding for this team. So, regular season 19-12 or 18-13 is possible. Most likely, the Tigers do not have an all-conference player; however, they have have a very deep bench. Newcomers like KP and TJW not only have been productive, but do it without being foul prone. Also, the guards seem to be shooting a high FT percentage. These are major upgrades over last year.
