2010-2011 Spartan Basketball Regular Season Prediction Thread

 

The Spartans have eliminated the distractions that cost them a title last season and look to get it this season. Photo courtesy of Bill Marklevits.

I expect the Spartans to return to the Final Four in 2011. That isn’t a very bold prediction since they are better this season. Here is my predictions for the 2010-2011 regular season:
