I dont know the SunBelt well enough to know.  But I have followed FAU basketball for years and know that next season sets up to be our most talented/experienced team I have ever seen.

WKU is on the way DOWN…i posted on this previosuly, but they lose about 65% of thier offense, and have no one curently on the team that looks to be capable of filling it…expect a much different team next year…

Re: i need a fix......

Just trying to get a feel of where we should be in the conference next season. Every year we're picked to finish last by the "experts" even if WKU is on the way down what about MTSU, and USA who both had better seasons then we did

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

i'm definitely no "expert", but i cant see us being picked to finsih last gain…middle of the pack or slightly better is IMO…

and yes, MTSU, USA, UALR, and UNT should be the top teams…then a pack fo teams with us in the lead…then the bottom dwellers from the west…

But, as we saw, anything can happen!

I just know WKU is in for some SERIOUS growing pains…

Starting backcourt going bye bye…ALOT of production leaving the gym…

we should be able to hang with WKU and USA next season, i have a gut feeling that Rex is going to work the our guys hard this off season, they were better than the played all season and that was proven in the last FIU game....If we played like that consistantly then i dont think there is a team in the belt that could stand a chance.

Can we compete with the WKU's and the USA's next season? or are we still a year or two away?

Good. Maybe they could win the Sun Belt title next year.

I think they should. USA and WK should be down after their senior class leaves which leaves us and MTSU. You just never know what will happen in the Sun Belt Tourny.

Re: i need a fix......

The way I see it, there is good news and bad news:

The good news
Royster will come along quicker than normal because Sutton will shape him up or kill him in practice
This will be a Senior ladened team lead by Nwoji, Monroe and Graham
We have a lot of exciting incoming players in Pena, Hall?

The bad news (maybe)
Hughley and Perkins could continue to disss their talent and play like 3rd year FRESHMEN
Monroe and Graham may not feel the sense of urgency that being a senior brings to basketball lovers.

As for me, I am very optimistic since the practices should be as difficult as the games, maybe moreso.  Real players get better when they sense an impending loss of playing minutes.  Rex seems to be a throwback coach so those unwilling to get better will probably get gone.  The test is whether the new guys coming in have throwback mentalities and LOVE basketball.

Hall is out to the jury, although some folks have stated he is a hard nosed, and mentally intense player that will be very productive under Rex…

Pena, well, he comes in with rave reviews!

AND, we still have 2-3 spots to fill from what Rex said…….
