UConn will not be that low i will bet money on that lol

I agree. 8th is achievable.

UConn still has a lot of a talent on their team. We have a nasty back court and they will most likly bring in a solid class. They will make the NIT if not more. they have more talent then all of you guys think lol

I'm sure UConn won't finish as low as I put them, I wanted to put Tulane higher because, despite their horrendous record last year, I think they'll be much better next season than most think.

I have no doubt UConn will have a lot of talent on their team, they always do, I'm just not convinced Ollie can coach at the same level as the coaches in this conference. That's not a knock on UConn itself, just IMO he's not a good coach for you all. I'm sure many on here feel the same with Haith at Tulsa. I'm biased so I like Haith, and I'm suspect most UConn fans really like Ollie.

Final though, this is a prediction thread 6 or 7 months early, no need to take it serious.

i like kevin ollie and i have UConn from 1-5 range in conference seeding. they have the talent to win the conference, if they get a solid recruiting class. But i see them finishing 4. Ugh i wish we had jimmy. We need a new coach.

I like Kevin Ollie too. I've been a fan of his since he briefly played for the OKC Thunder in the '09-'10 season.

As an outsider, I just think he was promoted to head coach too quickly.

But can KO actually coach?

a lastminute game changer

elite top 30 recruit Tremont Waters, from connecticut just decommitted from gtown... he is down to Creighton, UConn, Gtown, WKU, Syracuse...this a game changer for uconn if they can land him

Tulane has 4 new low post players 6-10 or > coming in next year (3 frosh; one transfer who will be eligible). If some are athletic, that should help us a ton.

Tulane got a really good coach. I am looking forward to watching the team grow.
