NCAA Qualifiers (2): Alabama State, West Virginia
Top 100 (3): West Virginia (21), UTEP (85), Arkansas-Little Rock (91)

The Good?: A trip to Morgantown just before Christmas. I like it when friends in the coaching fraternity (i.e. Andy Kennedy & Bob Huggins) aren't afraid to play one another.

The (not so) Bad?: A neutral-site game vs. UTEP in mid-December will tell a lot about both NCAA hopefuls. UCF just before the start of the SEC season could be tricky as well.

The Ugly?: Drawing Indiana in the first round of the Puerto Rico Tip-Off could be a no-win situation. The Rebels will be expected to win, but a loss followed by IU finishing near the bottom of the Big 10 as expected would create a serious ink splotch on their NCAA tourney resume. Not to mention, it would put the Rebels in a weak side of the loser's bracket, thus hurting their potential SOS.
