A few polls are already out...

College Basketball Top 25 for 2018-19

College Basketball Preseason Top 25

Blue Ribbon releases college basketball preseason top 25

Again, pretty wide open this year.

I see a lot of fluff in the 15-25 range...

Kinda bullshit loyola isn’t ranked. They lost 2 players from their entire team last yr

I still want to get the bad taste out of my mouth after that embarrassing 1st round knockout thanks to UMBC.

They would finish 6th at best in the BE.

They had a nice run. But the team isn’t really top 25 imo

Lots of great talent again this year. No clear cut favorite. Should be another fun ride.

I never thought they were a top 25 team at really any point last year during the season. Sure they had a nice win over Florida OOC, but they followed that up by losing to UW-Milwaukee and then took a couple quick losses in conference play to bad teams, one of them being at home. I thought they were a trendy pick to win a couple games in the tournament because they were playing better at the end of the year and getting Miami, but the bracket broke open for them pretty nicely. Playing Miami, Tennessee, Nevada and Kansas State to get to the FF, is a pretty nice draw. They lose 3 of their top 6 players, so that's going to be tough to replace. They are still the favorite in the MVC IMO, but I'm not sure I'd vote them top 25 preseason.

Exactly. Losing those 3 guys in my opinion doesn’t make them a top 25 roster off the bat. They will be solid with potential to make a run but honestly they may not even make the tourney. Have to win the conference again to guarantee that.

Watch out for UNLV this year, They might be mediocre

Is Nevada basketball gonna be that good this year? I know the last 3 years have been pretty good for them but IDK if I would have them ranked as high as some of these places have them ranked at.

For UCF, I see a 20-22 win season, probably will win 1 or 2 AAC tournament games but that's about it.
For NCA&T, I see a 16-20 win season, maybe a win in the conference tourney.
For ENMU, D2 school, 15-17 win season, won't do much of anything.

No NCAA tourneys for my teams this year lol. But UCF's team seems pretty good. AAC is always rough for us so we'll probably see our season take a turn when that starts up.

I think they're gonna be really good man. Didn't really lose anything off that team from last year, plus add 2 impact transfers. They just won't be that "under the radar" tournament team like they were last year.

I totally forgot about their transfers.

They return everyone, add 3 impact transfers and a McDonald's AA. They are deep, experienced and talented.

This recruit has a great vertical but cannot read, maybe he's a UNC prospect
