11 SEC teams

11 SEC teams ranked and four were ranked lower than ODU. Meaning 7 are ranked better than ODU.

I got ya

Cyniclone · 08-30-2016 01:10 PM

And *12* ACC teams better than any of CUSA's top teams? I mean, obviously the ACC is a phenomenal basketball conference, but isn't that a bit much?

11 SEC teams ranked and four were ranked lower than ODU. Meaning 7 are ranked better than ODU.

8 Big East and 8 Big XII as well.

The one that just astounds me is the Minnesota pick. Last year their Pomeroy rank was 223 they lost 23 games (8-23) with a win percentage of .3526. This year they are going out on a limb with an OOC slate that is ...WHHHAAATTTT.

Just a few of their Upcoming OOC Scheduled games

Thursday, Nov 3 Bemidji St Division-II
Friday, Nov 11 UL-Lafayette 109 LPom rank SBC 19-15
Monday, Nov 14 UT Arlington 101 Pom rank SBC 24-11
Wednesday, Nov 16 Mount St. Mary's NEC 253 Pom rank 14-19
Friday Nov 25 Southern Illinois 141 Pom rank MVC 22-10
12/06/16 vs. NJIT 200 Pom rank ASun 20-15
12/09/16 vs Georgia Southern 199 Pom rank SBC 14-17
12/11/16 vs Northern Illinois 169 Pom rank MAC 21-13
12/14/16 vs LIU Brooklyn 282 Pom rank NEC 16-15

They are bringing is some highly touted Freshman, this maybe why expectations are so high

5 Coffey, Amir Guard 6-8 190 FR Hopkins, Minn./Hopkins
24 Curry, Eric Forward 6-9 220 FR Memphis, Tenn./Southwest Christian Academy
42 Hurt, Michael Forward 6-7 210 FR Rochester, Minn./John Marshall

They will be big and again that maybe the reason...we will see.
A total of 7 players over 6'7"

22 Lynch, Reggie Center 6-9 260 RS JR Edina, Minn./Edina/Illinois State
41 Diedhiou, Gaston Forward 6-9 240 JR Dakar, Senegal/Canarias Academy
20 Fitzgerald, Davonte Forward 6-8 205 RS JR Atlanta, Ga./Tucker/Texas A&M
21 Konaté, Bakary Center 6-11 235 JR Bamako, Mali/Sunrise Christian Academy

Other members of the team

32 Gilbert, Ahmad Guard 6-6 210 SO Philadelphia, Pa./Constitution
10 Haugh, Darin Guard 5-10 170 RS SR Prior Lake, Minn./Eastview/Bethany Lutheran
12 Johnson, Jarvis Guard 6-1 185 SO Minneapolis, Minn./DeLaSalle

That's why they gave UAB the 14 seed and they smack down Iowa State as the 3.

Then they tried to make it harder on us by giving MT the 15 seed and they smack down the Michigan State as the 2.

But yeah, there are TOTALLY 12 ACC teams that are better than our top team 07-coffee3

The team that finished 12th in the ACC last year ended the season with a losing conference record and lost to ETSU OOC.

The team that finished 13th in the ACC last year ended the season with a 16-17 (5-13) record last year and got stomped by William & Mary by 17 in their home opener last year.

But yeah, our champion is only just between those two teams, don't ya know. :rolls eyes:

College Basketball 2016-17 Men's Basketball Top 144 -1 / Teams predicted rank in Conference

On the Bracketolgy side of the countdown, simply filling in the 20 conference Champs from the 32 leagues, obviously eliminates 20 of the 32 AQ spots, leaving 48 remaining spots for the tournament. ODU projected as a 13 seed.

I agree, I think both WKU and LA Tech both were deserving of the recognition as a top 144 team. Especially when I compare a few of the teams that have been included in this poll. The bottom line is, this is only the perception of writer who has a voice. This poll is like many preseason basketball predictions for 2016 it is very bias to P5 or power conferences.

Good Luck this year, I look forward to CUSA having a much better year as a basketball conference.

I believe that Charlotte will be there in the end. I could be naive, given the loss of our top rebounder, but I really think that we'll be playing excellent ball by the end of the year.

Charlotte always plays ODU tough. I have a feeling that there are a few CUSA Schools that should very easily compete at a high level this year. I hope that the top members of the conference will have some success in OOC games.

The conference should start to receive some respect if we can win a few of those games. We have got to start WINNING those games to impress those on the outside looking in. With that in mind, maybe this will be the start of the conference getting at least two NCAA bids for the tournament this year, along with two or more schools in the NIT.
