Based on Brady's attitude, these guys might be underestimating stAte. Hoping to land in the 100 to 150 range for the first time in a LONG time.

I think they are underestimating a few more than just State.....kinda like football....the sun belt basketball will have to earn our respect back and I hope that starts this season!

Well it looks like they have the right 5 teams at the top based on what we know now. If basketball prospectus is anywhere near as good as baseball prospectus, they'll adjust quickly if our collective play on the courts warrants it.

MT just beat Murray State by 25 in a preseason scrimmage, or so I've heard. If that's true (which I'm fairly sure it is...) then MT should be at least top 30 material. Rankings are wayyyy off.

Top 30? Really? Why?

I think Belmont will end up winning the OVC. They'll beat Murray at least once.

Move over Mules, there's a new sheriff in town.

I'm not sure beating the mules is as big a deal as you hope for......Didn't they lose a couple a significant players to graduation and another is in jail for attempted murder with a car in a Walmart parking lot or something? I'm not obsessed with the mules like dahbeed so maybe he can give a better report on the status of his beloved Murray State Racers.

Just looking at the school between 60-100, which would beat UNT and MT on a neutral court?

Bolded are the ones that I am really not sure about.

The goal in basketball this season, after the football season that we have had is to get atleast two into the NCAA and two into the NIT. I think that is a respectable goal. That and keep C-USA to only their auto bid.

South beat LSU on their home court last season. I'm not sure what LSU would have done to improve that much to be ranked as high as they are.

They have UCLA ranked real high this year and we beat them pretty badly last year. Guess they can just reload.

I don't know how in the hell Murray St. and Belmont are able to recruit so well, but it is starting to piss me off!

I have always thought Murray cheated. Rick Byrd just a hellagood coach.

He gets the "leftovers" and makes them into ball players.

when gottfried was at murray word is everyone on the squad was driving escalades

all the other coaches have relied on solid players with jail records from other schools. they either swept any subsequent felonies under the rug or in high profile cases like kelvin brown dismissed them.

the blue hairs in murray ky demand winners and are willing to look the other way at 'youthful indescretions' if it benefits. the majority of their fans are blaming the victims of the latest 'racer gone wild' video.

you couple all that with an annual tomato can schedule and you win.

Future member UT Arlington at 153; not a bad addition to the SBC, huh?

That is good, now go when some games with the SBC logo on your floor. Where is TX St and GA St listed? I'm to lazy to look for myself.

The two kids Murray got from NE Arkansas way back in the day - straight out from under Nelson Catalina's watch - were flat out bad asses. Marcus Brown and Jeff Martin both competed for the NCAA scoring titles while at Murray - and both played HS within 50 minutes of Jonesboro.

Murray comes to Jonesboro this year - so this is your chance to do something worthwhile Brady . . . don't disappoint me!

Popeye Jones was from TN, and supposedly we didn't "want him". He would light us up for about 30 points every game

I heard he had a son who was a good player.

Martin and Brown were great. Martin was part of the M&M boys (Martin and Don Mann).
