I agree. Have you seen the leap that SMC made this year? Yes they were ranked at times last season, but that was exposed pretty quickly once they had to play games outside of Cali.
They returned a lot of their guys and will be a force in the NCAAs this year. I think BYU has more athleticism on the roster and next year will be a good year.
Final Four, probably not. It is tough to get there if you are not Duke, UNC, Kentucky, etc.
