South Alabama when I picked UALR behind WKU, GaState, and ASU. I'll stick with my prediction, but I pretty much forgot about USA and the big guy they have coming back. I know Inside says it's our year, but I think the Belt will be quite tough this year. I doubt MTSU, FIU, or FAU would be any better than the top 5 teams left in the league.

Yeah, I don't know how FIU will be with them losing Pitino. They might be fine, but I suspect they will struggle in a tough CUSA. FAU lost Gnatt and McCoy. MTSU brought in a boatload of transfers but their team was gutted last year. If they don't gel properly they could take a big step backwards this year.

The Belt on the other hand has six teams that should improve from last season.

I think we will finish about 5th but it is our year.

We have built up for 10 plus years to this point. We can make the magic happen this year with a solid 5th place finish and a 20 point 1st round blow out in the sbc tournament. In front a massive 50 person crowd in lower LA.

Anyone here think we will do better than that?

I thought we will be 3rd.

Everything is so mixed up right now with teams coming and going, I can't seriously make any predictions. I know I kiddingly make some from time to time, but for now I'm stumped.

I said 4th, although I kind of forgot about USA. There will only be 48 in New Orleans if we finish lower than 4th, since I won't go down if start play Thursday. I think 50 fans may be a little high for New Orleans.
