It's ok to believe in this group still. Luke Winn at SI still believes they are the 10th best team in the country, even without James:

I'd say that's pretty generous. I still think we're Top 25 caliber but 10 may be a stretch....but I'll take it....gotta believe in these guys!
Don't forget MU still has three double figure studs including BE player of the year contender
Clearly Luke Winn must only be 17 years old and has only been watching basketball for a year to think that this team still has talent and will find a way to overcome the lose of James.
