We also get back the other top scorer, who was 2nd on the freshman all-time scoring list. Also we get possibly the best freshman point guard Tulsa has ever had back, as well as a big man who was injured last year for much of the season but who still had a series of dominant games, our top 3 point shooter, and our 6th man (scoring pg) off of the bench.

We add a juco all american g/f, a 7 foot center who is absolutely jacked, a sf who is a great outside shooter, and a pf who has wicked hops.... Throw in some other returning pieces as well.

Oh, and.... Danny Manning. You scrubs better watch out.

Also our guys will be fast and in shape (6 pack abs). They will be able to run all game long. If no injuries, I expect us to be in top 4 of league. Anybody in top 4 can win the tournament, but UTEP will be tough.

Usually some Memphis fan would mention this event each year, but since they are gone then I guess I will:

Conference USA Hosts Basketball Media Day Tuesday

If you are an ESPN Insider then here is a CUSA preview. Each team has a preview, but I don't know how much research went into it; because the writer that did the preview for ECU thinks that ECU is in South Carolina.

I think they picked the order for the top 6 as:

USM, UTEP, La Tech, Tulsa, UAB, Charlotte.

I don't remember anything after Charlotte.

Can't we just predict that all the players will have fun? No? Okay then.

1 Southern Miss
2 UTEP
3 Louisiana Tech
4 Middle Tennessee
5 Charlotte
6 East Carolina
7 Tulsa
8 UAB
9 Marshall
10 North Texas
11 Florida Int'l
12 Rice
13 Tulane
14 Florida Atlantic
15 Old Dominion
16 UTSA
