Montana State is a good team, but they will struggle to make the top 4. They may do it, but the second best team in the league seems to be a stretch, IMO. I think that UI, UM, and WSU are the top three. UNC, MSU, UND, and ISU will duke it out for that 4th spot in Reno. UI is one injury away from being in that second tier.thescout said:and they put Strings on the first team...Projects Weber 3rd behind Idaho and MT. ST.
They do have a top notch point guard and Hall. Their problem has been any kind of an inside game. offensively or defensively. They have added a bit there. Is it enough? Who really knows. IMO, their problems will be similar to last year.talhadfoursteals said:Link?
Montana State?? I agree, talented and well coached team. iewever, Fish hasn't addressed his biggest issues: rebounding, inside play, and most importantly offensive consistency outside of Tyler Hall.
I agree about the experience factor, with the exception of rebounding and, to an extent, defense. I also agree with you on the all conference picks. There are a ton of high talent guards in the league this year and probably 10 or more big men who will compete nicely for bragging rights. Strings and Harding are very good players, but may not be able to crack the post season accolades. If WSU or Sac ends up winning the league, then yes, their players will get preferential treatment. That is just how it goes.thescout said:UND won both BSC titles with same guys who finished 10-8 year before...Experience can help address issues. Harding 2nd team seems possible but generous. Chapman will be a let down if he does not put up first team all BSC type numbers.. Strings first team also quite generous.
thescout said:Blue Ribbon tidbits..Sac st. Katz not a lot of difference between top ten teams. UNC coach Linder Davis will be won of top point guards in the west if not the country and ASU transfer Spight is as good od scorer as there is in college basketball.. Rahe expects Weber to be very competitive in a very deep BSC more balanced team this season....overall the BSC looks deep and unforgiving this year
