Goodman's BEast Power Rankings

[MarquetteDano]

There are quite a few teams this year that are hard to predict.  Nova, Providence, Butler, and St. John's could all be good (i.e. tourney bid) but I doubt it.  At least one of those four will be a disappointment.  Maybe two.  It is hard to tell.

I think Creighton will be better than last season, not worse like some people seem to think. They lose virtually nobody and bring back Dougie McBuckets. This is not a team to be taken lightly. We probably won't be favored to win our conference opener.

Echinique is a significant loss for a team that can shoot it like Creighton.

I saw someone mention that Creighton's been experimenting with McDermott at the five and Wragge as a stretch four. Could lead to some interesting matchups on MU's end.

They may certainly be better, but their conference record and position won't be.

They may certainly be better, but their conference record and position won't be.

I hope you're right. But I wouldn't be so sure. KP had Creighton ranked above everyone in the New BEast last season except for Georgetown. I don't think they are as far behind as we may think.
