McDermott the best player, MU one of the favorites, will miss Blue, blahbityblahbityblahbity.

It good to see someone taking St John's seriously.  They will have the most talented starting five in the league, and be a much improved team.

interesting pre-season top 25.  At this point I suppose they use the 'swag' method to pick.  Oh well, I'll settle for 18.  Hope we can live up to it early on.

Man St. John's is a scary team. Obekpa was amazing last year...that was one of the best wins of the year just because of our adjustments and dealing with that monster blocking everything. They worry me. I think Doug and Bryce Cotton will lead the league in scoring.
