CHN Top 144 Countdown

SFP said:
Exactly! Again this is only my opinion but I believe there's a BU player that will have a stellar year that no one is mentioning. I believe not seeing his name out there is very positive.

AW, SM, TB, WE ?

I'm personally looking forward to a strong year from all of them, especially from Andrew and Sam if they can stay healthy. Those two being seniors together and this being their last shot to leave their marks on the Valley standings and postseason. I hate getting this excited in July!

I'm alluding to AW. He will be completely healed from his injuries with a whole off season of getting ready by working out and practicing. I expect to see him challenge for the MVC scoring title.
 
I agree with you SFP. When you think about BU's potential with "The Big 3" -- SM, AW, and TB -- we potentially have 3 of the best players in the Valley. I've always thought that when BU (or any mid-major) has 3 quality players they will be very tough to beat.

If these three guys play up to their potential they will all be 1st team MVC and BU will be Dancin' in March. :)

FWO, only if you wear 38" sleeves, have a 48" vertical standing jump, and, can palm a basketball in both hands at once! :eek:

IMHO Unless all of BU's perimeter players shoot 45%+ from beyond the arc this season, BU's fortunes will again depend on their interior players playing better defense, out rebounding their opponents, and contributing more of the BU offense.

Here is another site doing a Top 65 team countdown...although they actually appear to be doing a BCS team countdown and have largely ignored all teams except the big six conference guys
http://thehoopsreport.com/article.aspx?id=523

#65 Princeton
#64 St. John's
#63 Indiana (you have got to be kidding!)
#62 Wake Forest
#61 George Mason
#60 Cincinnati
#59 Arizona State
#58 Northwestern
#57 Florida State
#56 Clemson
#55 Louisville
#54 NC State
#53 Texas Tech
http://thehoopsreport.com/article.aspx?id=537



And, then, as if it relevant, these guys are ranking the same thing =-- the TOP 99 college basketball teams.......
..but the guy says in advance he has alotted 72 slots to the power conference teams and just 27 slots to the other 275 mid-majors
they literally blow all their credibility by starting off their countdown with...
#99 Iowa (they are in shambles)
#98 Rutgers (they lose all their top players and scorers from a 14th place Big East team - return only 5 scholarship players, plus start from scratch with a new coach)
#97 Iowa State (likewise starting over with virtually nobody!)
#96 DePaul (seriously?? The only decent players they had left and nobody who scores over 6 ppg & hits 35% on FG returns)
http://www.thesportsbank.net/
http://www.thesportsbank.net/category/college-bball/
 
Iowa is the 99th and Iowa St is the 97th best team if Bradley is the 15th. No way. Iowa is about the 200th and Iowa State (who lost nearly their entire team from last year's bottom of the barrel Big 12 team) is about the 250th.

If the countdown claims to be finding the actual 99 best teams in college basketball, they shouldn't give any merit to awful BCS teams like Iowa, Iowa St, Rutgers, Nebraska, Colorado, and DePaul.
 
I agree....the only ones that could possibly be worse than the ones that have already made the list are maybe Nebraska, Penn State, or Oregon

Considering there's 73 power conference teams, I'd hate to be the one that missed the list. :lol:

Going off of that premise, it makes sense for Iowa and ISU to be in the last four teams with Rutgers and whomever else. Going to be some bad basketball in Iowa this year. ISU has a very good back court of Diante Garrett, Demarcus Phillips, Darion Anderson and Scott Christopherson, but our front line players will be young and mediocre (unless White is somehow eligible). Iowa returns some decent players and adds a solid player in Basabe, but they will not be all that good IMO. They will work hard and play hard IMO.
 
The first Valley team appears..........

(already revealed)
#144 South Carolina - 10th in SEC
#143 Quinnipiac - 1st in NEC
#142 Wyoming - 7th in MWC
#141 Charleston - 3rd in Southern Conference
#140 Jackson State
#139 Santa Clara
#138 Tennessee Tech
#137 Wake Forest
#136 Siena
#135 Princeton

New teams revealed...
#134 East Tennesee State
#133 Sam Houston State
#132 Cleveland State
#131 Indiana State - picked to finish 7th in the MVC

So who do you all think will come in at #6, #5 in the Valley? (for this particular Countdown)

My thoughts:

#6 - ISU (red)
#5 - UNI

UNI will be listed first or second. BOOK IT!

I'd say

#1 WSU
#2 UNI
#3 CU
#4 BU
#5 ILSU
#6 INSU

Not how I think they'll finish, but how they'll be listed.
