MBB Too early speculation

[GrandGreen]

I know that some want to downplay any conference championship discussion this early.   Why, I am not sure of; bad karma or something.

I do think NT''s odds are getting better based on the season so far.

All polls, I've seen have WKU and La Tech as the favorites, than it is usually UTEP and NT.

Unfortunately. WKU has just lost their best player to injury.   La Tech looks anything but invincible with a recent lose to  Sam Houston.  UTEP is 6-1, but all wins were at home and they lost to New Mexico St. on the road after beating them by 15 at home. 

NT record is misleading and based on the early schedule, I think they are in good position to challenge for a league championship.

Don’t sell WKU short because of one player, albeit a star player.  They recruit very well.

Not trying to short any team, just looking at the current rankings and numbers.

Even without Bassey, WKU will be one of the favored teams.   They have pre-season all conference pick Hollingworth and two other starters returning that averaged double figure points.  They were picked first in the conference.  NT was picked seventh with no players mentioned in the pre-season all league team. 

My point is that NT based on how the season has so far progressed, should challenge WKU, La Tech, UTEP for the top spot.   It is looking a lot better for NT than what was projected.
