Basketball Mags Are Out

[SUMG]

I bought The Sporting News b-ball magazine. They pick us to win the SBC....and be a #14 seed.

Also out are Lindy's and Athlon's. I looked at one of those (don't remember which one)....anyway they picked us as well. And they picked George O as Player of the Year.

Anyone know if Street and Smith still does a preseason issue?

While i wouldn't necessarily be happy with a 14, I'd be pleased enough. At least at that stage the games are a bit more winnable.

Let's just get a 12 and call it a day!

I'd be over the moon with a 12. I think the number is akin to a 33% winning rate since the expansion to 64(+) in 1985.

I was wondering the other day how long it would take to get something better than a 15. I was more than a little irritated when we got that last year.

We had a couple of poor loses (Boise State and FIU leap readily to mind) plus the conference RPI was the worst I can recall...in large part to some soft schedules around the conference (including ours) and New Orleans being on the verge of dropping to D3.

ULM will probably hurt the RPI this season...but as a whole it should be considerably better. I felt we were under-seeded as well, but based on RPIs, SOS and quality wins it was tough to argue with the committee.

Just wish we could've been the 15 seed matched up with Nova...would've run through them like Corey Fisher ran through Scottie Reynolds' girlfriend.

But what is fandom if it's not blindly complaining when things don't go how you want them to? It's much more fun to think everyone is out to get you than it is to think rationally about something.

Sure. The place for that is the football forum.

You're no fun. +1 anyway.
