I see Georgetown being the 5th team. They just have so much talent and now they add Pryor and White but I thought they were a tourney team last year as well so who knows...

If Georgetown didn't underachieve so much last year they would most likely be a top 6 seed in most brackets.

I honestly think DePaul is getting closer. The move to the new arena will help!

Everybody's sleeping on the Hoyas. They'll be top 4 in the league this year. GTIII's working with a different blueprint now, more shooters and fewer bangers. This is the year it comes together.

Not this year.

I think most DePaul fans have one eye on 2017-18 when Strus and Grandstaff are eligible.

I still hate the fact Xavier didn't get Strus :x

If Kobe paras decides to play for Creighton this year, they'll have a real shot at beating out X for the spot behind Nova. He looks the type of someone who can really make a difference on defense. He also has a confident handle and a good physical profile. The two guard starting spots are locked up between Watson and Foster, but the three is a bit of a question mark I think. The two it comes down to are khyri thomas and ronnie harrell - I'd go with Thomas at this juncture - but if kobe comes I'd have to think he competes for starter's minutes

the one thing I don't want to see is us trotting out IZ in a 3 guard lineup... you can't justify doing that with how much length we have in the backcourt

I'd say Creighton has a shot to beat out Xavier anyway

I think Creighton will be good but let's calm down a bit. Xavier was a 2 seed and is returning 4 of 5 starters. Creighton is adding good pieces but they lost Groselle and didn't even make the tournament.
