Hypothetical line-ups of course.
10/11 Mcconnell, Delly, Stendl, Jones,Walker with bench of Page, Williams, Young, Levesque, Harris, Holt, Hunter ..................talented guards unproven bigs anything could happen conference position 1st - 3rd. Has Mcconell factor.

11/12
Page, Delly, Steindl, Jones, Walker with bench of Holt, Williams, Young, Levesque, Holt, Harris, Waldow..............Bigs all have an extra year of experience. Highly regarded Holt has an extra year to fit into the gameplan. Since our bigs are there gameplan doesn't change much and we have experienced guards in Page and Harris to step up. Steindl to get onto the NBA mock draft (lol). Conference position (1st-2nd). Dellavedova to really come of age.

10/11 Talented guards all over the place. Delly riding shotgun to Captain Mickey. A lot of mixing and matching to find the right starting line-up.
11/12 Junior Page and Delly and three senior plus extra experience for Bigs. The rise of Holt and Steindl to be the man.
Fellow conference contenders Gonzaga and LMU
My Final Synopsis is a period of Sustained Success with 11/12 as the season to look out for. After this season's success; anything in 10/11 is a bonus.

Just thought I'd dredge this old thread up to highlight my last sentence to give some perspective. It makes me feel a little bit better Smile
