...but let's be honest, MO State is the obvious #3 here.



I really feel from a talent standpoint we are right there with UNI. Our question is coaching. Lusk hasn't proven he can coach at that level yet. Jacobsen has.

I would put the backcourts at roughly even between the 2 schools. Tuttle absolutely dominates MSU inside though.

Ha, not sure Todd has a freaking clue. He has the Aces 2nd others have them 8th.

I'm not sure if I can blame anyone in the media, or if we really should just be blaming UE/Marty. Everyone can see the talent, and no one has a clue where they will end up.

I agree about Tuttle. I like our guard play and overall depth better though.

Dizzle is right. No one has seen the two JC's, and the Villanova transfer play a single second of D1 basketball. Until it is determined how good these guys are, and whether the Aces will play any defense this year, they could very easy be picked anywhere from 8th to 3rd. Hell, I picked them for 5th not knowing the answer to any of those questions. Let's see what they look like at the end of December.
