Men's Hoops Predictions
One advantage of being stuck in an airport for 3 hours yesterday was the ability to hang around in the airport stores and read a couple of the College Basketball Preview Magazines (Athlon and Lindy's, I think). To ward off the boredom...
If I remember correctly, Rice men's hoops was given a preseason prediction ranking of 12th in CUSA in one publication and dead last (14th) in the other. Lindy's was more optimistic about the Owls ability to shoot 3's and stay in games with a much greater potential upside, while Athalon in particular was brutal in noting that what is killing the Owls chances of success is the lack of defensive intensity.
I am hoping the predictions that the various reviewers/sportswriters wrote are based on a lack of research as opposed to hard facts about the program in Coach Pera's 3rd year. Since it is never too early to be talking college hoops, what are your predictions for this years team? (W-L, Ranking in CUSA, and National ranking)
