CollegeHoops.net Top 144 countdown

From the Pick-em thread:

100 MacabreMob
101 #300
102 georgethedog
103 Les is More
105 BUMike
114 DUBulldog
119 Grassman
146 valleygirl
150 LTHS02
Click to expand...

I'd say most of these picks are also in trouble is Indiana State is 8th best in the Valley and ranks #124 in their countdown.

Don't count ME out yet!

There are a lot of BCS schools to still fit in the Top 100.

BU at 6th or 5th in the MVC at 100 is still do-able. :wink:

Hey, it just hit me.

Penn St predicted #125.
Penn St predicted #9 in the B10.

Indy St predicted #124.
Indy St predicted #10 in the MVC.

Quote:
"The MVC is down,..."

Well, if the MVC is 'down'... and the MVC's (predicted) worst is (predicted) better than the B10's 9th, 10th and 11th.... Maybe the B10 is 'down' more than the MVC.

Seriously, though on the blurb they put about Nebraska, they call Shang Ping a "wing player". :roll:

Eight more A-10 teams?
Just who?? Sure, Xavier, St. Louis, Dayton, Charlotte.
Maybe even UMass and St. Joes, but then you are down to Fordham, Duquesne, Richmond, and Rhode Island.
 
Last year the A10 finished 11th in Non-Conference Conference RPI and 10th Overall Conference RPI (MVC was 4th and 6th respectively).

A10 standings and RPI

33 Xavier 13-3
62 UMass 13-3
71 GW 11-5
107 Fordham 10-6
108 URI 10-6
95 St Joe's 9-5
74 St Louis 8-8
75 Dayton 8-8
146 Charlotte 7-9
182 Temple 6-10
222 Duquesne 6-10
272 Richmond 4-12
278 St Bonnies 4-12
268 La Salle 3-13
 
collegehoopsnet also has a story about lottery picks and where they came from.

Over the past 10 years there have been 133 lottery picks.
102 of them were college players, 31 have been high schoolers, international players, etc.
Of the 102 college players 83 were from the BCS conferences and 19 were from mid-majors.
(One was from Bradley)

Here are some interesting facts....
Of the 13 lottery picks that came from the Big XII over the past decade, only one has become and All Star (Paul Pierce).

Same for the Pac 10, only one out of 12.

And the SEC, only one All Star out of 11 lottery picks.

Of the 19 mid-major lottery picks, 2 have been All Stars (Shawn Marion, Wally Szczerbiak).

The big producers of lottery picks (and All Stars, too) have been the ACC, Big East, and Big Ten.
They have produced 22, 16, and 9 lottery picks respectively
BUT
none of the Big Ten players has been an All Star!

Hey T, what are you referring to with that line "Dulb R there already is a pickem and you picked 67!" Did I accidentally post something about a pickem after the fact.

Granted, Fordham had sub-10 win seasons the first half-dozen or so years in the A10, they have had tremendous progress over the last 4 seasons. They only had two seniors last year, neither of whom provided quality minutes.

03-04 6-22
04-05 13-16
05-06 16-16
06-07 18-12

So, don't be so quick to discount the Rams or be surprised to see them in the postseason as one of top 3-4 teams in the A10.

Also, some scores you'll want to note from the Rams last year:

Tennessee 78, Fordham 71 (Nashville)
@ Belmont 56, Fordham 49
@ Maryland 79, Fordham 59
Fordham 77, @ Penn 60
@ Texas A&M 87, Fordham 61

They played 4 NCAA non-con teams on the road, and a fifth in their home state. While they only won one of them, they were competitive against Tennessee and Belmont.

Those games have prepared them well for this season.
 
collegehoopsnet has named the next three team in their list.

#116 Virginia Tech (picked 12th in the ACC)
#115 Hawaii (picked 5th in the WAC)
#114 IUPUI (picked to finish 1st in the Summit)
(this officially eliminates DUBulldog from the pick-em, as he guessed #114)
 
collegehoopsnet has named several more in their list, including ISU at #109

#113 Montana (#1 in Big Sky)
http://www.collegehoopsnet.com/new/story/2007_08_montana_basketball_preview40996

#112 Kent State (#4 in MAC)
http://www.collegehoopsnet.com/new/story/2007_08_kent_state_basketball_preview40997

#111 Belmont (#1 in Atlantic Sun)
http://www.collegehoopsnet.com/new/story/2007_08_belmont_basketball_preview41001

#110 Wake Forest (#11 in ACC and written before the Prosser death) - Chas McFarland isn't even mentioned
http://www.collegehoopsnet.com/new/story/2007_08_wake_forest_basketball_preview41002

#109 Illinois State
http://www.collegehoopsnet.com/new/story/2007_08_illinois_state_basketball_preview41004

#108 Tulsa (tied for #4 in C-USA)
