Early Bracketology...

Third is that we have no lack of either size,depth, shooting nor athleticism...

I feel one of the weak spots could be at Center. Not that Joel is "weak" - if he plays 30 mpg and doesn't get hurt... i think we will have a hell of year... but, in BE play, teams always seem to have size they can roll out there.

Hope Joel and Zuby can stay healthy and hold it down

Yeah maybe a tad thin there, but our center tandem has real talent. Joel and a top 60 Kansas transfer is stronger than our usual stable of big men. I think Ejiofor has big upside as well. I’d maybe have liked one more big on the roster, but we are extremely strong at guard and forward spots.

There will be no doubt this year that the Big 12 and Big East are 1 and 1A basketball conferences.

The BE will join the Big 12 that have teams ranked with a few more loses than most because the teams are extremely talented and well coached.

Agree Joel needs to stay healthy. Regarding enough bigs, Nova has historically thrived in the Big East without a lot of height.

I think we are built similarly with a lot of shooters and an offense that will space things out.

Center tandem plus the Rick Pitino “ability to develop” factor = bodes well. As many have posted, can’t wait to hear about practices and watch an exhibition or real game!
When has there been so much legitimate optimism?
