great news. WVU was very strong this past year and shouldn't be hit too hard by graduation/nba draft.

will be a great game for our resume.

Basically like Arkansas in that they foul their asses off and hope refs don't call it.

will be a tough test for our young guards. Fortunately we have a couple of months to get some game experience.

protecting the glass will be a challenge, too. WVU was #1 in the nation at offensive rebounding, and top-20 percentile in defensive rebounding.

I expect the Aggies to be more physical and tougher than the Volunteers next season, especially in the front court.

Their full court press against our young guards scares me. Wish we could have drawn them last year

I guess you must mean the Aggies from Aggieville Kansas, but that's not really germane to this thread. Plus, Bruce Weber sucks

I kinda find it hard to believe that the 4 SEC teams left out are the same ones left out last year (Bama, South Carolina, Mississippi St., and Mizzou)

Leaving out Mizzou is a good thing, cause that would be an almost guaranteed loss for the SEC. They should be left out every season until they prove they are no longer complete trash.

Arkansas at OSU is intriguing. Mike Anderson is probably coaching for his job this year and I'm interested to see how Underwood does on the big stage.

Texas at Georgia
Baylor at Ole Miss
Kansas at Kentucky
Texas A&M at West Virginia
Florida at Oklahoma
Iowa State at Vanderbilt
Kansas State at Tennessee
Arkansas at Oklahoma State
Auburn at TCU
LSU at Texas Tech

Am I crazy thinking the SEC might actually have a chance this year?

I'm willing to give nods to Kentucky, Florida, Tennessee and Auburn, and I'd say Florida, us and Arkansas all have pretty good chances right? It's at least possible.

Not sure how you can pencil in Auburn or Florida for road wins.

I do think the SEC has reasonable chances in 9/10 games, with LSU @ Tech being the lone one I'd say you can write down in pen as a loss.

I'm not penciling them in, just saying I think they'd be favored. TCU flat out sucks.

And Florida, us and Arkansas would all be toss ups to me at the moment.

I think we'll be decent underdogs on the road.

And TCU sucks, but doesn't Auburn suck as well? And TCU should get something resembling a bump from upgrading from Trent to Dixon.

As I typed that, TCU announced 2 transfers, including one of their best returning players, G Chauncey Collins.
