Slam Magazine's conference prediction

[downtown85]

Get what you are saying, but it's not like St. Johns and Cincy (two teams ranked ahead of us in this stupid poll), have a depth of production compared to ours. 

I think both teams, SJU and Cincy have a lot of guys coming back.  They both could step up this year.

People didn't see the pro-am? seriously? u know just about every halfway decent player in the big east plays in some sort of pro-am, right? they mean nothing. NBA sponsored camps, on the other hand, are a bit more valuable. pro-am's! hilarious. they're like the WWF of basketball. I would 10000x rather watch street ball than pro am crap.

For a player coming off an injury likie Junior, the pro am can be an important test to see how far they have come.  It can also reassure the coaches that pg won't be a big problem this year.
