We have been picked to come in last. And yes, I think we will prove them wrong.

Pretty bad when you are picked to finish behind schools that even the most knowledgeable basketball fan don't know exist.

A reminder to what we are dealing with:

We were a bottom three team in the 30th (out of 33 conferences) ranked conference last year. The SBC was the 19th best conference last year.

LOL at that release. First mention of the poll is in paragraph 6. Being in PR does require creativity sometimes. ;)

Can't say I'm surprised at the poll. We might as well just take all these "we are young" debates from football and copy-and-paste them for basketball season. Coach Fox has a large project ahead of him.

I did check out a few of the preseason magazines yesterday, and neither had us last. I think Athlon had us mid pack. I didn't really have to time to read the write up, so I'm not sure what they based that on.

Someone forgot to tell them JC is gone. The great thing is that the College BB polls mean absolutely nothing. Go Fox! Go Apps!

Mostly just kidding. Besides Arkansas Little Rock which is the last school to have any success worth mentioning? As far as the poll goes, who cares? Meaningless. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't App on some type of post-season probation this season because of academic violations?
