Teams that have't finished top 4 in the last 4 years include Memphis, UConn, USF - one of them surely will be top 4, maybe 2 of them. I think USF wins 11-12 games this year in conference.

I agree with your second statement a little more than your first. Memphis, UConn and USF will assuredly finish higher in the league standings next year than they did in 18-19. It's reasonable for each of those teams to legitimately aspire to reach the NCAA tournament next season.
Of the other group, I think UCF is the only team you can really count out at the moment. Houston still returns a very solid core from last year that should make an adequate step up into larger roles. For us and Wichita, I think both teams will improve their collective talent compared to last year despite both losing 5-6 scholarship players. Both teams have as good of arguments for top 4 as any other.
