Pretty good pre-season ranking some teams of note.
FSU - 25
Miami - 26
Davidson - 29
St Joes - 34
VCU - 35
Temple - 41
SLU - 42
Butler - 44
That febuary stretch is going to be killer, hopefully the young guys are playing well and we can get through it with a few W’s.
What ECU isn’t in the top 68? How can this be?
Davidson really #29? Are we gonna get waxed? Hopefully not like last time there
Haha that is a joke right? But some other guy at ESPN said they would make it to the Big Dance this year so Bilas doesn’t know what he is on about.
I forget what it’s like to have a good team. I’m just hoping we break .500.
Answering the question about possible waxings I noticed that EE9er already made a list of all possible waxings for this year.
Question: Will we get waxed?
Answers:
FSU - 25 Yes
Miami - 26 Yes
Davidson - 29 Probably
St Joes - 34 Yes
VCU - 35 Yes
Temple - 41 Probably X2
SLU - 42 Yes
Butler - 44 Yes
Hope this helps!

Thats the spirit!
[quote=“cibik02, post:3, topic:27084”]Davidson really #29? Are we gonna get waxed? Hopefully not like last time there[/quote]Not sure I see that. We thoroughly waxed Davidson last year, are they really that much better this year? I suppose they did win at Kansas right after that, but the rest of their impressive results were moral victories. I’m concerned that it’s a road game and the foul calls will be pretty lopsided. But I don’t think they’re that much better than the Niners.
The other teams on the list will be quite good, with the possible exception of Butler which I think might be a tad overrated. We really need to beat Temple at least once. And we get VCU and St. Joes at home and later in the season. The rest are road games, so that makes it tougher.
We may not be all that great but damn, some of ya’ll make it sound like we are a high school team.
I like Bilas’s list. He has his personal bias here and there but he makes a real stab at objectivity.
I’d really like to be on it, if he updates it as the season goes along. I think that’s a reasonable goal for this team.

Top 68 is a reasonable goal? That would be coach major finding that needle in a hay stack. A little more than a reasonable goal imo. I want us to be there but that would exceed all expectations upon belief.
