No Emmanuel Mudiay? No problem. The Mustangs may not have the requisites to be a top-five team without Mudiay, but they're still a squad that should rank in the top 15-20 for most of the season. SMU returns eight of its top 10 players who won 27 games last season and beat eventual national champion UConn twice in addition to double-figure wins over Cincinnati and Memphis. Larry Brown's crew also adds a key fifth-year transfer in former Xavier small forward Justin Martin (11.7 points, 5.2 rebounds in 13-14) and Virginia Tech transfer Ben Emelogu (10.5 points in 13-14), who was granted a waiver to play immediately. The Mustangs won't just be good enough to make the NCAA Tournament next March, they'll be good enough advance and do damage in the NCAA Tournament.
