We have a lot of respect for the Holy Cross basketball progam and fully expect them to be strong again this season.

That said, you have to wonder who Andy Kennedy, the guy who has replaced Bob Huggins at Cincinnati thought he was BSing when he told C. Trent Rosecrans of The Cincinnati Post:

"Our non-league is really demanding because even the mid-major teams are the teams predicted to win their conference," Kennedy said. "You've got the best OVC team (Murray State). We play a team in the Patriot League (Holy Cross), but it's the best team in the league."

You also have to wonder about the hoops knowledge of Rosecrans, who didn't bother to call Kennedy on that, or to point out that Bucknell is the odds-on favorite in the Patriot League this season.
