I’ll bite my tongue for now since we were so sure the Canes were a lot better than Ken Pom last preseason and well they flat out sucked & he was right.
 
If you look at the odds Vegas is giving, Miami is a top 30 team. Tied for 5th best odds to win the ACC and tied for 21st best odds with a few other teams to win the national title. Hard to take Ken Pom seriously in the preseason when they base their rankings off metrics in zero games have been played.

Coach L almost always outcoaches his preseason rankings especially with veteran teams.

Not sure that he's ever had a team drop 10 straight on him in his career but I'm positive he did some soul searching this offseason and I expect him to come out ready because Coach L is a competitor.

I'm thinking between 18 and 22 wins and another NCAA appearance.

I am with you on this one. I see 18 wins as the floor here. We have guys with size that can move again. We also have guys that can score in the back court. I think Pack will be much better with handling the ball and Cleveland will be who we thought he would be last year.

People can't under estimate Brandon Johnson also. He can handle the ball going to the basket and rebound very well. I am also looking forward to seeing Bethea. Ken Pom is like Mel Kiper.
