Looking at magazines on the news stand the other day. I think it was Athlon that had GaSt as a #9 seed in the NCAA tournament. That indicates that they expect them to be a Top 40 team. They have 3 players that could play on any team in the country. Two of them already played significantly and well for Kentucky and Louisville. Hopefully, they will get some significant OOC wins. Could we beat them in New Orleans? Who knows, but if we (or someone else does) it could be a 2 teams in the NCAA tourney year for the Belt.

They play at Iowa State, at Colorado State, at Old Dominion, at Oakland. They get USM at home and Green Bay Home and Away.

They need to win the home games and 4 out of 5 of the road games to get some national respect. If they are going to dominate the league again we, at least, need them to get our league some national recognition.

Of that group, the only one that is likely going to get them post-season attention is Iowa State.
