St. Mary's is in a transition season. We lost a stud PG that made everything go on offense after last season, and while we've got a ton of talent, I don't know if they will grow up fast enough to make a run this season. We are probably a season or 2 away from competing for a spot in the Final Four again (assuming one of my guards can grow into a PG at some point). I think we should make the NT, but it isn't a guarantee with this squad, espeically in the full and difficult Heartland conference.
