I see us finishing top 3. I dont think Marquette will be as good as last year. We almost beat them at the end of the season without Harrison and Branch injured. We return and add too much coupled with our returning sophs likely to be a bit stronger and improved. Georgetown will still be good. This league, while maybe not as top heavy, will be pretty tough overall with a lot of depth through the middle of the league. Lots of team's capable of moving to the top, but SJU will really be stacked and we finally bolster our 4/5 spots with Sanchez and Gift and add a top 20 player/PG. We were the #1 shotblocking team in the country last year and we should be even better this year.
Here's another one, from cbssports.com:

They don't pick us to finish in the top 5 in the league, and don't seem to be very high on us at all.
I think a lot of people overlook the fact that having so much talent is great but it might be tough to find roles where they all excel. Ultimately, this is up to Lavin to maximize their potential putting them in positions to succeed.

Hopefully, Josh Smith doesn't eat us up as he did at UCLA. Of course we didn't have Obekpa then.
A key for next season will be how well this team improves its' FG and 3pt shooting..Teams will still zone us to death, until its' proven this gang can shoot right. And, team defense needs to tighten.
I see sj as very similar to 1989 Seton Hall with solid front court and exc back court...3 pt shots made will determine record..

The team should try to avoid the half court game as much as possible on both ends. The pressure need to be turned up much higher next year to get the most out of this team. When we are in the halfcourt, outside shooting and rebounding will be the two biggest keys to success IMO. I'm hoping to see a lot more penetration as well.
