PSU and Rutgers have some pretty good players returning, how about the rest of the B1G

Iowa will be tough with Bohannon, Cook, McCaffrey and Garza.
Wisconsin finished strong and don't lose anyone.
Nebraska will have Watson, Copeland and Palmer back.
Minny will have Coffey and Murphy.

Big losers to the NBA and graduation will likely be OSU (Bates-Diop), Michigan (Rachman and Wagner) and MSU (Nairn, Bridges and Jackson). But those programs just reload.

There will be some preseason rankings that have us 10th or below. The new reality is the same as the old reality.

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss. Hopefully, we won’t get fooled again.
Hopefully CC161 will amp up the schedule a little. Maybe all Division I opponents would be a good start. If the BiG is the 6th best conference again we”ll have a thin margin of error for picking up any $$ wins for NIT purposes.

Does "we" = Holy Cross?

I believe we benefit from a strong conference. Our non-con this year was solid, we just lost to the best competition. Let’s hope we don’t have a non-con next year like Nebbie did this year, that would lead to many heads exploding.

Well, we're going to have Oklahoma at home along with an ACC foe (which has a deep league this year) so that's a pretty good start.

I sure hope Trae Young is playing at the United Center and not Evanston next year......

I think that’s a given..
You're probably right. But he seemed to hit a "wall" this season, as the grind of 31 college games wore him down. He is a pretty slight guy, and I think he would benefit from another year of college ball and strength & conditioning. But he's gonna cash in big time in the NBA so why not go for the $'s.....

Hey Mystic, up for a game today? I'm going to say a phrase, and you just say the first thing that pops in your head. And we're off...

Here is your first word:

"Carmody"

And what''s that you say? Couldn't quite hear you there...

Yes,OK, I hear you loud and clear now..you don't have to shout!

"SUCKS" is indeed the correct answer!

Congratulations , you win a lifetime supply of Chris Collins AND your boyfriend being fired by a Patriot League team!

Thanks for playing Mystic, you've been a great sport as always!

Carmody does indeed suck.

He probably deserves more respect then I'm ready to give him, but the Huggers have killed it all for me. It's like Wrassler and the Ash effect. Except worse.
