Final Analysis
A year ago, when Steele slid over a seat after serving as Chris Mack’s top assistant, he had to patch things together with a few grad transfers — including one who didn’t even come from the Division I ranks (Zach Hankins from Ferris State in Michigan). This year, he brings back all of his key pieces and also added a highly sought-after transfer in Carter, who fits in perfectly with his four returning starters. The Musketeers possess all of the ingredients necessary — experience, talent and toughness — to ensure that their NCAA Tournament hiatus will be a brief one.
Postseason Prediction: Round of 32
Big East Prediction: 3rd
