The WAC is DeCourcy's #10 conference.

KJ #18 Power Forward
10 other formidable back courts (after the top 10): Tulsa (Seneca Collins, Jason Parker, Antonio Reed, and Dante Swanson)

Apparently Hawaii likes the USA chant, so we need to stop doing it.
"Tulsa appears to be the team to beat, but Hawaii, which has the WAC's best player in Carl English, is not far behind."
Ascending: La Tech
Decending: Fresno
Biggest sneakers to fill:
Ely
Savovic
Harrington
Most underrated player: Fresno's DeManby
Coach on the Hot Seat: Dement
Best Bets: (this one cracks me up) "NCAA investigators will stay away from Fresno State for at least one year. ... Louisiana Tech will not sell out a game at its Thomas Assembly Center despite having one of the WAC's best teams. ... Tulsa will steal the WAC Tournament title back from Hawaii. ... nevada's Kirk Snyder will be listed as a first-round pick on several mock NBA drafts."

I'd say those predictions look about right. I wonder who will replace Savovic for Hawaii. He and Ely were the two best players in conference last year and those guys will not be replaced with players as good as they were. I think SMU might be a little better than 6th and I am a little nervous about our team not knowing how we'll replace Gerrod. I like being picked 3rd though.
