I expect Memphis, Houston, and Hitachi St (in no particular order) to finish 1 2 and 3 next year.

Oregon
NC State
Ole Piss
UConn
Houston
Georgia
Tennessee

All could possibly be ranked when we play them or at least by season's end. But you never know really.
Regardless those teams outside of UConn and Houston is better than cupcake central.

We played about 13-14 games in non-conference. That's 5 solid P5 games. That's pretty good.

The Oregon game will be our National we are back/coming out party

Don't sleep on Kevin Keatts and NC St. Remember we're young. Early games will be tough.

They had a nice run in the NIT, but really doesn't mean much--

Plus, they lost their two best players in McDuffie and Jones (30+ combined ppg) and the team's only two double-digit scorers and will be asking relatively pedestrian role players to step up.

Their 2019 team will remind me a lot of last year's Memphis team minus Martin.

Dennis is a shooter. Shot what, 40% this year from 3 this year as a freshman? Came on strong at end of year.

They're well coached. They are almost always better than what they look on paper.

Memphis has a series with Smiss and Uab as well?

P5 term has nothing to do with basketball. Except they have a huge advantage in revenue (maybe upwards to $35M a year) and can’t do much with it. Schools that were good before P5 are still good. A couple of quick basketball examples: Memphis >Mississippi. Nova>Penn St.

Is Memphis playing in any multi team exempt tournaments?

Cumberland back for UC.....
