Looks like a number that is somewhat in the ballpark. Given the players we lost and our shallow, unproven bench, I think 80 might be a better preseason guess. Could we end the season much stronger? Thats what we can hope for.

I didn't see Oakland on this last rating poll.  Does that mean that "The King" will be p----- off"?  If they are as good as he expects them to be(what's new) he must be unhappy.  As the years pass, at least in my opinion, Oakland is the new Butler in the HL.

What the heck does that mean?  They'll leave the conference and be afraid to play us??

Interesting to see Vanderbilt is ranked 64 in KenPom. That could be a fun 7-10 game in the NCAA tournament...

Geese, the rest of the hl struggling.  Almost 3/4's are in the 200's! 

Due to great recruiting classes, Uic and nku will most likely rise from their current Ken prom ranking and finish in the low to mid 100's.  Or at least let's hope.

I guess it's a personal thing with me. When BU was in the HL, I had no use for them.  Now that BU is gone from the HL, OU is the team for which I have no use and they have replaced BU as our biggest rival.

To the rest of the League, I agree that they view us as the new BU.  I was only speaking for my own personal feelings.
