Message: [QUOTE="kyleslamb, post: 988888, member: 2505"] I'll be honest, I am not buying SMU as a top-10 team. They should be a tournament team, but top-10 might be pushing it. The incoming class could turn out very nice for them, but we'll see how it translates this year. At the end of the day, I just don't see that group being top-10. Perhaps Mudiay is the real deal and I'm wrong, but I'll believe that level of success for them when I see it. They were homecourt heroes this past year so I'm leery of that kind of jump. As far as UConn, I don't expect a huge fall by any means. But unless Brimah takes the next step in his development and becomes a consistent star, I don't see them surpassing the 26-8 pre-tournament record without Shabazz and Daniels. I don't know what Temple's incoming players look like, but unless they have some real studs arriving, they are in trouble. As if they weren't bad enough, they lost Pepper to graduation and Lee to transfer. [/QUOTE]
