Picks us third behind Nova and Georgetown.

Damn, I still love the sound of that; being part of the Big East. It's so much better than picks us first, well in front of LaSalle and SBU.

I don't necessarily disagree with the order but I think the records are at least a little off, or at least I hope so. If everyone ends up that close to a .500 record in the conference it doesn't exactly bode well for tourney hopes.

One of the main keys to this season is Jalen...if he's comes into his own, I think we're a tourney lock with great tourney deep run potential.

If he's inconsistent and somewhat immature still, I agree with the records and close to .500 conference record and on the bubble.

Not sure how they are predicting St. John's go 9-9 and Steve Lavin also win Coach of the Year....but whatever. I would think 3rd place in the Big East would be enough to get an at-large bid, assuming it's not a down year overall for the league.

GO MUSKIES!

You would think, but we tied for third last year with a stronger OOC schedule and barely got in.

we also had some bad losses though..just can't afford those...losing to usc, seton hall twice and marquette. and let's be honest with ourselves, the conference was just not very good last year...outside of Villanova and Creighton there were a lot of mediocre teams and that hurt us.

That's the order I have, but yeah, I don't see the records ending up like that.
