10 Predictions:

1. The SEC will be the deepest league in America.
2. Thaddeus Young will energize the Georgia Tech program.
3. Paul Harris will be an improvement over Gerry MacNamara at Syracuse.
4. Big 12 officials will attempt to avoid working the Texas Tech-Kansas State game.
5. Gonzaga will not win the WCC tournament.
6. Kentucky will be far better than expected.
7. UCONN will be scary by the time the tournament roll around.
8. Duke will show the effects of having a head coach stretched too thin.
9. Vanderbilt fans will realize that Kevin Stallings can't get the job done.
10. The MVC will crash back to Earth, as will West Virginia.

1. I think the Big East could be the deepest league in the country. SEC is right up there though.
3. Absolutely. McNamara was just a decent player who stumbled on some great shots late season. Nothing special the rest of the year.
5. I fear you're right.
6. Expectations are always high in Lex.
7. Like always.
8. Aided by the fact that North Carolina will be damned good.

The Big East should be the deepest conference in the country consider there are about 61 teams. :wacko:

West Virginia lost Pittsnogle and the other white boy, didn't they?

West Viginia lost Pittnogle, Gansey, little Beilien, etc. They have nothing returning. They won't win more than 4 Big East games.

The SEC is returning 3.5 starters PER TEAM.

 

[therealUT]

Does Dane Bradshaw count as half of a starter, Lex?

The SEC is returning 3.5 starters PER TEAM.

Wow. I'm not gonna lie, that's impressive. But, as good as the SEC may be, the Big East still has to take the cake as half of all Division I is in that conference. I think they're looking to expand to 486 teams by next season?

Review;

1. The Pac 10 is also very deep.
2. Georgia Tech is getting better by the game.
3. Yes, but that team as a whole is still wildly inconsistent.
4. Monday night will be fun to watch.
5. The Zags are wobbling into conference play.
6. The SEC will tell the tale on this one.
7. They're pretty good already.
8. I think today is the first of more ACC losses than usual.
9. See Appy State loss. Good SEC season or goodbye for Stallings.
10. Terrible prediction on both accounts.

This is starting to look like the worst prediction I've ever made in my life. Why would I ever doubt John Beilien?
