Stupid

This is a Top 25 team

The preseason basketball poll is even worse when it comes to "big name" bias. Notre Dame, UConn, and Indiana shouldn't be there.

Looks like the usual powerhouses, think LSU will move up rather quickly. Syracuse is nowhere near that list

I know UNC is supposed to be good, but who did they add to make them that good?

Notre Dame,


Return 3 starters from an elite 8 team and Auguste who was their second best player last year.

Indiana


Some have projected to win the B1G and have the best G in the B1G

I think Kentucky will be the best team, they get Ullis and a full year of Poythress. That is tough to beat.

No one. Its just the same team that got bounced in the sweet 16 and finished 5th in the ACC. A lot of the hype is dependent of Paige improving as a senior, even though he got worse his junior year

They didn't add anyone of note but they return an experienced core of Marcus Paige, Kennedy Meeks, Brice Johnson and Justin jackson. Also, they lost JP Tokoto which is Addition by subtraction. They're my pick for #1

If you are using that poll's rankings, yes. I saw something the other day that predicted Miami at 4. Seen DUke and UVA flip flopped
