Athlon's Basketball Preview

[UNTX]

Saw Athlon's college basketball preview mag today. The entire Sun Belt only got one half page. Seems like each team got a page in previous years. WKU is again picked to win the league outright.

We were picked last in our division with La. Lafayette picked first and NMSU second. Next to our name there was only a one sentence write-up "North Texas must find a way without Chris Davis, the best player in school history."

We really need to prove them wrong and show some kind of progress this season. It's that whole "conference realignment thing" you know.

Are you surprised. Look at our record over the last five years.

[UNTX]

No. I'm not surprised. Just painfully aware that we've got to improve - NOW.

[CMJ]

Last? Well that sounds about right, unfortunately. <_

That covers 1, 2, and 6. Can you tell us what they said about 3, 4, and 5?

Absent high-profile losses or gains by teams, magazines like Athlon's generally put mid-major teams pretty close to the order we finished the year before, but I'm curious to see how they lined up UNO, USA, and Denver, since we finished tied with 7-8 Sun Belt records last year. Thanks.
