if first impressions mean anything, i think we're going to finish above sh, rutgers, nova, depaul, uconn, and providence as a bare minimum. i think we'll fininsh anywhare between 5th and 8th this year. keep in mind that the core of this team will be intact for two more years after this. i think we will be somewhere in the top three when all is said and done. so yes, we're better.
