I picked PC too. This one is probably the hardest to pick, but I think Marquette will be slightly better than Providence.

Posted: Tue Sep 29, 2015 12:31 pmI have Marquette here. It's really hard not to like the combination of Ellenson and Fischer in the frontcourt. Duane Wilson looks to be in for a good season, no matter where he plays. The big questions for Marquette seems to be the 3 spot (JaJuan Johnson, Sandy Cohen, or Wally Ellenson), how the PG spot shakes out (Duane Wilson, Traci Carter, or Haanif Cheatham), and the depth of the team as a whole.
It might take the team time to gel, but the Italy trip will certainly have helped there. I do think the overall lack of experience will be an issue, but then again that will come with time.

7: Providence
6: Marquette

Posted: Tue Sep 29, 2015 7:41 pmI went providence here because they are lacking size and they really need Jalen Lindsey or one of the freshmen to step up and be a double digit scorer if they want to get back to the tournament. Marquette's frontcourt is the best in the conference IMO which will open up things for Duane Wilson on the perimeter and the freshmen looked very impressive on the foreign tour.

Posted: Wed Sep 30, 2015 12:28 pmGiven what we have, 6th place would be an absolutely devastating season for us. Now, for 2016-2017, 6th or worse seems reasonable.

Posted: Wed Sep 30, 2015 12:39 pmHardest choice yet. Marquette and Providence both have obvious reasons to be excited about them and obvious question marks causing some doubt. I voted Marquette here simply because PC has the proven star already.
