North Texas picked 8th. Nobody on All Conference Team

 

IRVING, Texas - Coming off a win in the 2015 NCAA Tournament after earning the league’s automatic berth, the UAB Blazers were selected the preseason favorite to win the Conference USA men's basketball regular-season crown in 2015-16, according to the league's coaches. UAB head coach Jerod Haase returns all five starters from last year’s squad that posted a 20-16 overall record and won its first C-USA Championship in men’s basketball. Tournament MVP Robert Brown was named to the preseason All-Conference Team, along with Blazer sophomore William Lee. Brown led UAB in scoring 20 times in 36 games last season, including 23 ppg in a pair of NCAA Tournament games. He tossed in 21 points in the Blazers’ NCAA win over Iowa State and added 25 points in the third-round loss to UCLA. A 6-9 forward, Lee is the youngest member of the preseason team. He also joined Brown as a member of the C-USA All-Tournament Team, along with earning a spot on the All-Freshman Team. Lee ended the season strong, averaging 12.7 points and 7.2 rebounds in the Blazers’ final nine games of the season.

Respect is earned.

I can't believe they have us at 8th--I'd be shocked for us to finish that high in conference play.

I'd pick us about 11th.

Regardless of what you think about the team it is nice to have so many homes games and games that are televised. 25 out 31 games are at home or on TV. (I am counting the UTA game as watchable since its local).
