With Darington Hobson gone, I don't think the Lobos deserve to be ranked above UNLV.

I know that the Lobos have a lot of talent, but he was the catalyst for a very good team. Without him the team just won’t be as good. UNLV finally has a post presence with Carlos Lopez and Quintrell Thomas to go along with their fantastic guard play. We are also pretty deep as far as the bench goes.

UNLV is going 11-3 this year!
The Colts are going 18-1 this year!
The Suns are going to be NBA Champs for the first time in franchise history this year!
