MT in the top 5 with Maryland. Cotton going to missed more than the Nat'l guys think......Should be a fun year.

[DUShock]

A top 20 game with Utah would be nice. Perhaps at the I?

Yes. It will be at IBA.

There is still a lot of B12 love in the top 10. These guys just can't help themselves. Hopefully, the Shocks will get another crack at one of them in the tourney next year.

5-6-7 wow.

This reminds me if that time when Texas was a preseason top 10 and ended up finishing below 500 in conference and barely avoiding the NIT.

Here's a fun question.

Did Rick Barnes really fail this season and deserve the firing or did the preseason polls miss the mark so badly that it ultimately cost him his job? :)

A legit thought...

[pogo]

Pretty sure it was all about Rick and the deep abiding love of the faithful.

We're #15 in Bleacher Report's preseason poll. Crazy how good we have it, I said "Wow, that seems low...".

[tgcshock]

My recollection from years past is that the CBS sports early poll has often rated us lower than others, so top ten in that poll is even better than it sounds.

[tgcshock]

Also, something is apparently wrong with my link. I couldn't find Creighton listed and Villanova was ranked behind us. We don't play in the mighty Big East, did they not get the memo?
