oakland is the preseason favorites to win the conference according to the coaches. this team's ooc schedule is stacked. they open up in the bca classic where they could potentially face xavier in the finals. then they travel to michigan, cincinnati, and then host missouri ALL IN A A ROW!!! they are also at detroit and at memphis. this team is going to be extremely battle tested. they've got one hell of a ooc schedule and can really get some national attention if they were to pull a few upsets. that is an ubelievable non conference schedule!!
i'll get my first look at your team next weekend. that tournament is taking place during xavier's homecoming and i've got my tix already. hopefully we'll meet in the finals. if we do, the game will be on fox sports net. it should be fun.
Missouri's a tough get, even at home, but A & M at home and Detroit away are gettable. OU's got a tough path to get to X in the finals, they should be able to beat San Diego, but I watched UIC the other night and they are experienced, deep and talented. It's a matchup of the 2 preseason favorites in their respective leagues.
