On July 4 I know my team is making the NCAA Tou..

Four of UNLV's six best players are seniors.  Come tournament time, their (likely) entire starting 5 will all be over 20 years of age (including 3 players over 23).

This is a highly experienced, mature, and talented team who can absolutely shoot the lights out, and who now have a big time inside defensive presence in 7' Beas Hamga . 

I think 30+ wins, and a deep NCAA Tournament run is very, very likely. 

UNLV is gonna be really good Dan. You underestimate all Mid Majors and then again you tell me teams like Memphis and Gonzaga and Xavier are not mid majors.

However, you still rank them so low. LOL... come on Dan...

I wouldn't say that dantheman4250.  Tennessee will be very good next year.  Sure they lose Chris Lofton, but they gain a better player in Scotty Hopson.  This kid will be special.  I saw him in person at the McDonald's All-American game in Milwaukee and he was amazing.  Besides Tyreke Evans, he was the best player on the floor.  Tennessee still has Tyler Smith as well, a projected top-15 pick in the 2009 NBA Draft.  Not to mention Wayne Chism and JP Prince, who both are stars in the making at Tennessee.  Renaldo Woolridge and Emanuel Negedu join Hopson to form one of the best freshmen classes in the country.

I don't feel UCLA is a top-3 team.  I'm not as sold on Jrue Holiday as some of the experts are.  He's a solid player, but I don't think he's in the top 5 of his class.  DeMar DeRozen is much better than Holiday and will have the same kind of impact as OJ Mayo at USC.  UCLA is top-10 worthly, especially with the late signing of J'Mision Morgan, but I don't think Josh Shipp or Darren Collision will lead this team past the Sweet 16.
