Let's hope everyone makes it to campus and walks the straight and narrow. Could be a very good season if 2 or 3 of the freshmen are ready for D1 ball by conference time.

He is the same guy that had Tim Floyd going to Missouri.

My glasses are still tinted orange at this time of the year! Next season!!!!

What were we ranked last year?

We shouldn't count our chickens before they hatch. A lesson we should have learned last year.

So the stadium proved to be a success

By the way for people without ESPN premium. UTEP is #46

It's great to see UTEP ranked in the top 50 especially by ESPN which is not a friend of this conference. But I would rather trade that ranking for conference championships and deep NCAA Tournament runs. Hopefully next season UTEP will be able to deliver that potential.

And LTU comes in at #50. Not bad to have 2 C-USA teams ranked in the top 50.

It has been made clear that the stadium is not an appropriate topic for discussion in this forum.

Heck, with 14 teams, I would hope we would have at least 2 in the top 50. We need 5 or more in the top 100 if possible. Who can that be this season? UTEP & LaTech. What about SoMiss, UAB, WKU or Charlotte? ODU will be better, but I doubt if they are top 100, should be better than 200 though. Maybe top half. Now that I look at it, historically speaking, those 7 schools have had some great teams over the years. If we could all get good again at the same time, but not kill each other in conference we could see a three bid conference again at least.

UAB:
We currently have 5 players that played on the team last year.
2 were our top 2 scorers both Seniors.
3 sophomores that didn't see a lot of minutes but did play their roles very well.

5 freshman coming in that are going to develop into some really good players.

1 Junior transfer from Virginia that was their second leading scorer his 2 Soph year.
