Re: UMKC - - Hoops for the Holidays

Our Men's team is down right now and is probably at it's lowest point that I can remember (kind of a complement 'cuz they've been so good for so long).  However, if UMKC was picked 3rd in the Mid-Con what does that say about our new conference?  I was assuming that it would take us a few years to compete after joining the conference, but if the Roos were picked 3rd it would seem we'd be right there in the middle of the pack.  I know one game isn't a good judge of how we'd fit into the conference, but I was assuming UMKC was the doormat of the league.

Just because school's picked pre-season to be at some point in the conference, doesn't mean it happens that way. I think SUU was picked fairly low for the Mid-Con this year, and they seem to be having a fairly good run. Likewise, in football, we were supposed to end up 1-3 in GWFC, and 5-6 overall, if you believed the concensus pundits. Nice when low predictions are wrong, not so fun when picked high and the pundits get proven wrong.
