The lowdown
2000-01 record: 14-14; 6-10 in WAC (7th)
Final Ranking: NR
Postseason: None
Three Questions for 2001-02
1. How can the Spartans replace their three top scorers? Will the lack of experience cancel out the Spartans progress the last two seasons?
2. Will any one of the seven newcomers make an impact? If so, then who?
3. Who is going to rebound? Can the Spartans control the defensive backboard and stay competitive?
Andy Katz's Scenarios
Best case: San Jose State gets more from its newcomers than imagined and finishes seventh.
Worst case: The Spartans can't compete and drop down to 10th.
