What start to the hoops season makes us forget about football?

First game on Monday! Between now and Jan 1, 2025 we have:

12 games
Ken Pom rankings of key games:
- Dayton: #27 Away
- Butler: #83 Home
- Iowa: #31 Away
- Illinois: #23 Home
- Georgia Tech: #71 Away

If we're 12-0 on Jan 1, I'm not sure we'll even remember how to pronounce Lujan. So there is that to hope for. Realistically though, what would make you forget about football? For me, it's to be ranked. And for that, I'm pretty sure we'll have to be 11-1 (w/ the loss to Dayton/Illinois/Iowa) or 12-0. That seems like a tall task but I don't think it's impossible.

Other questions:
10+ PPG scorers? (My prediction, in order)

Brooks
Jackie Moon (You know who that is)
Ty Berry
Leach

How will Fitzmorris, Nicholson, and Hunger share minutes? Will either Fitz or Hunger challenge Nicholson for the starting role? Will Nicholson ever learn a post move (alley oops don't count!)? Seriously, how can a man that huge not be a beast under the rim?

Will Leach play the traditional PG or will it be by committee?

Surprise contributor?
