I think UALR came in at 116.

Doesn't sound like a well informed list. I can't imagine many teams above WKU in the belt. But I can run off a list of the teams better than UALR.

UALR only loses Elijah Muldrow (#3 scorer). 116 might be about right. But I would definately rank MTSU higher than them.

I think WKU is the highest ranked in the Belt.

When New Mexico St. was in the Sunbelt they had some VERY good basketball teams. But now that they are in the WAC and have a good team they are perceived to be 30 some odd spots ahead of WKU. Not a knock against New Mexico St., I am sure that they have an excellent team this year... I just think it is interesting to note that when they had such a team in the belt they were percieved as much lower.

Actually, we also lost Zack Wright as a transfer. However, if the "second year pop" improvement means anything, the team should be considerably better. Every player on the team who is not a newcomer is in his second year in D-1 ball.
