Belt squeezed toward the middle

At the start of the year, it had seemed as if there would be a definite two-tier system in the Sun Belt, with the winners and losers being very difficult to call. Things haven’t gone quite like I expected. Georgia State has broken loose from the pack, of course, and appear to be in a class by themselves. Their two headliner players are just a cut above the normal Belt talent level. But the next four have not been quite as good as I thought they would be. ULL, WKU, ASU and Little Rock have all shown they can be beaten on a given night. On the other hand, Monroe has been  better from the get-go than I thought they would  be, and lately the two new Texas  teams have been showing signs of life. By far the biggest disappointment has been USA, and I cannot figure that one out.
