POST-DRAFT TOP 20 FOR NEXT YEAR

[Xudash]

Talent-wise, I honestly don't think X has ever been better. We got some length, speed and guys who can jump outta the gym. I'm pretty excited about their chances. Now if Mack can put it together?

You see that as a concern!

He'll put it together.

I honestly believe any of 5 teams can win the BE this year and I fully expect different teams to win the regular season and the BET.

I really count 4- Nova, Georgetown, Xavier and Butler. PC lost a whole lot even though they're getting Dunn back. I don't see them being able to do enough to win the conference. Don't see them able to get up to 14 conference wins(which to me is a bare minimum that it's going to take, even with the extra parity).

Villanova or G'Town......BOOK IT!

Yes, every year PC loses too much and every year they battle right there. I expect more of the same next year. Every team lost important pieces.

They battle yes. But last 2 years they've gone 10-8 and 11-7 in conference play, 6 and 5 games out of 1st place. They just don't have enough to win 14+ conference games. There's a big difference in battling and able to win the conference. Might be able to do something in the tourney like 2 years ago, but there again, probably going into the tourney as a 4 or 5 seed- it's a tough road to go thru there- but a lot more doable than winning 14+ conference regular season games.

Here is another one from ESPN. 4 BE teams ranked Top 25 with 2 more on the outside looking in. If this happens we will have another 6 team tournament. I can live with that.

Hmmm....not one AAC team listed.

Cincinnati is in the others considered area, but that's not great for the AAC if this happens.
