"I’m willing to sacrifice everything for this team. I’m going to dive for every loose ball, close out harder on every shot, block out for every rebound. I’m going to play harder than I’ve ever played. And I need you all to follow me." -MB '17

CBS Sports came out with their preseason poll again.
Out of 26 teams, we are not listed. When was the last time we were preseason ranked? 1974? I kid, but not really.
One BE team.

Preseason? When was the last time we were ranked during the season? A week after "the fight"? Originally Posted by DC Muskie

UC came out at #24 - they're usually not ranked in preseason, either.

A couple of puzzling things to me.....Purdue at 26 I believe is too low. Uconn at 16 and Indiana at 13 seem too high. When are people going to realize that Crean sucks as a coach?

Our ranking is a tad low but there were just a few teams I would have moved behind us that were higher. We lost Stain who frequently owned the half court set and a senior PG who just didn't turn the ball over much. Those are two huge losses that have to be replaced.
This year would have been a great year for a preseason trip and not last year. One that would have allowed our new PGs to really play in real game formats.

Preseason rankings mean nothing, I hate them because they are usually way off. Its just something to create discussion before the season starts, which is fine since that's about all that's going on in college basketball right now ha.
