This article says Cuse's second string would be an upper division Big East team this year.

Yowza...might be our deepest team ever. On the downside...too much talent as we know isn't always the best for team chemistry. We'll see how much drama there is. UConn looks really tough too with the Drummond, Lamb, et al...

Looks to be another epic season in the league.

Syracuse' second string versus Louisville's second string would be better than any game in the SEC, Big Ten, or Pac 12.

I have no idea where WVU will end up this year. With only 3 upperclassmen on a roster filled with freshmen, it's going to be an interesting year for Huggins...

Louisville is loaded...Our pre season schedule is ranked 1st or 2nd best in the country...YUM Center will be rocking!

Sounds like you could be a 7-9 seed...not a great spot to be.

WVU won the BET as a #7 seed...

Huggins always finds a way to make the NCAA tournament, WVU should be fine. UCONN, Syracuse and UL are probably the "top tier" I'd say Marquette, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh are probably in that second tier

This will be Cronin's best team. Gates and Mbojb will be a formidable front court and the backcourt will be very good as well with Wright, Dixon and Kilpatrick. Just need a freshman or two to step up and provide solid bench minutes.

The key for Cincinnati will be how they handle success. If they play with that "we have something to prove" attitude they are a definite top 20 team.
