Yeah, Im gonna guess we are gon a be better than 15-14.

We beat Auburn(SECChamp), URI(A10 champ), Miss.State(25 game winner), and Memphis(20 game winner) without Collin last year.


Kira should be ready to go by SEC play, Mack is an upgrade over Key, Defense is long and more experienced, and Reese,Herb, and Galin should all be further developed on the offensive end.

We are gonna be better than people think.

I would agree with that.

Relative to what I suspect KenPom values players at, I think Herbert, Tevin Mack and Kira are underrated

Offset a bit though as I think Donta's efficiency falls a bit without Sexton. Donta is a great player, but he was the biggest beneficiary of opponents keying in on Sexton

One of these isn't like the other. Memphis finished ranked #161 by KenPom

URI / MSU were solid opponents but still ranked only around #50-55, but I wouldn't weigh those too heavily



It doesn't really matter though, as the consistency/production to win 18-20+ requires guys to step up. No preseason projection/ranking can predict if that happens
