I'd say we stack up pretty well with the experience level of our potential starting backcourt compared to our two biggest competitors in the conference. I'd wager if you compared team by team in the WCC we're looking pretty solid regarding our backcourt experience.

If anything, teams like Gonzaga and SMC should be concerned about their situations. While the incoming freshman at Gonzaga were all 3 highly recruited players it's a real roll of the dice to rely so heavily on first year players. It's going to impact the team's offensive and defensive efficiency.

SMC's situation is even worse. They lose Jordan Ford and replace him with much less talented and less experienced players who aren't very athletic and can't create their own shot or defend. They're going to struggle next season. Should be fun to watch Randy Bennett blow his stack game after game.
