Who finishes 7th? One day poll.

If we are going just on talent then Marquette is still one step ahead of the last 3. The problem is Wojo is still totally unproven. I picked St. John's because I think they are getting a huge increase of talent and their existing tools (Yakwe and Sima) are only going to get better. Its by no means a guarantee, I guess I just don't have faith in Wojo.

Respect the opinion but keep in mind that Wojo turned a 13 win team into a 20 win team in one season despite the 7th most inexperienced roster in the country. He still has to prove himself but it's not like he's been bad.

I took PC. Best coach by a mile.

The logic I don't get is someone saying Wojo is totally unproven, but then going with St John's. Mullin is more unproven than Wojo is.

"Someone" lol. I guess the proven/unproven stuff isn't 100% sound. But Wojo had much better rosters than Mullin and he has finished 9th and 7th. My gut just tells me St. John's will be better.

last year they had 8 conference wins. with the 344th most experienced team in the country. They won 20 games overall(granted with a poor OOC schedule)- without the help of a post season tourney.

I just think there's a lot more questions about Mullin as a coach compared to Wojo.

When your choices to pick a 7th place include a Marquette and a Providence you know the league has to be loaded. I went for MU
