Were just going to have to disagree there.
They are 12-2, tied for 1st place in the best conference in college bball.
They have beaten the now number one ranked team in the nation, Pitt, and serveral other good teams along the way.
There ranked 6th and there is a decent possibility they could win out.
They will compete for a spot in the final 4.
Samuels and Jennings are much younger than Padgett and def lack the experience he had. But they make up for that with the athleticism and versitility that Padgett lacked.
If Lville is not considered elite then who is?

I did not say that UL was not an elite team, said that they are not as an elite of a team that they where last year.

Although Samuels & Jennings are more athletic than Padgett, David had basketball IQ, which is something Samuels & Jennings lack. I would take a player with basketball IQ over an athletic player any day.
