UConn, Cincinnati and SMU will all be ranked in either the preseason or at some point in December.

I love it when these types of reports say things like "Adjusted Offensive Affiance". It usually means they had to dig for something bad to say.

Apparently Ken Pomeroy used it once in 2009

That's my point. Those "general type" statements that are out of the ordinary and clearly biased, show intent. The comment was intending to infer inadequacy or a drop off. This while not taking in to account our highly regarded recruiting class.

Pretty lazy

Next season is going to be an absolute bloodbath for the top 6-7 teams. Plus there will be absolutely no 'gimme' games from the lower half of the conference. I sincerely hope the newcomers at places like Memphis, UCONN, SMU etc... can make a quality impact in the no conference so we can get several teams in the tourney.

Yeah I agree. UConn, SMU, Memphis, Cincinnati, Tulsa and Temple should all be pretty good and could easily be tourney teams. Tulane just had their best recruiting class ever it seems. And the remainder of USF, Houston, UCF and ECU all seem to be improving as well with some stronger classes of recruits and transfers that were sitting out.

I honestly think it will be a very good year. Hopefully the top and bottom get some strong OOC wins. Would love to see 6 teams make the tourney but that may be a dream based on how it has panned out the first two years. Certainly think 5 could go though. 3 of these 4 (UConn, SMU, Memphis, Cincinnati) are likely to be ranked to start the season or very soon there after so that bodes well if they can live up to the ranking in on field wins especially OOC.
