I say this as someone that likes Jeff and Rob ... these guys act like Colorado was a bad team. They weren't some bad/terrible team. They went 17-16 and 7-11 in a damn good Big 12. They had 7 losses by less than 10, and some of those were really good teams that they played from 2 to 6 points in conference play. 

I tend to believe people underestimate Isaiah being Chris Johnson's kid. He''s groomed for this move to full time team runner. Not every game or stretch will be high-end, but he will be fine after a short adjustment. 

BTW, I have Florida as the easy pick to win the SEC preseason. The Denzel Aberdeen waiver situation does impact their ceiling IMO. 

Pick:
Florida

Fighting it out for top 3 seeds in NCAA Tournament:
Texas
Tennessee

Anywhere from No. 4 to No. 6 seeds in NCAA Tournament:
Vanderbilt
Arkansas
Alabama
Missouri

Comfortably in the NCAA Tournament:
Kentucky

Should make NCAA Tournament:
Ole Miss
Texas A&M
Georgia

May make the Field of 76:
Oklahoma or Auburn 

Who the hell knows:
LSU

Purgatory in a brutal conference:
Mississippi State
South Carolina

 

Already really liked Vandy’s squad … adds very nice depth piece

Isaiah to Punch, for the two handed punch

Dylan Mingo is gonna be really good but i am not familiar with the rest of their roster. Espn has them at 15 in way too early rankings. Wild that Andre Iguodala II is on that team lmao.

Mingo brothers will be good, and the Liberty transfer is one of best shooters in country 

Baylor will likely struggle with Matas and Punch … the combo

Hopefully this game is preview for what it will be like for Texas to play in this arena for the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight matchups.  Long way to go before March of next year though.

So the Texas non-conference schedule now includes:

Miami (N in H'town)

Baylor (N in SA) 

at Louisville 

Georgetown (San Diego)

and likely UCLA (San Diego)
