Nova - 9
MU - 22
St. Johns - 25
We are among the most powerful!
Hats off to Wojo and staff for getting the roster talented enough to earn this ranking. The talent and experience are definitely there. The Big East lost a ton to graduation. This should be our year to return to Big East and Top 25 relevance. #theprocessseemstobeworking (But I still feel the loss of Rowsey will be a bigger deal than some may anticipate.)
We'll see. Rowsey left. Joey, BB, Morrow, Chartouny, and Ike came. I feel confident that between them they can score 20 ppg. I hope they can play better defense. I enjoyed AR. I am glad he played at MU. With him, MU went to the NIT, the fanbase obsessed about terrible defense, and he ended up in Hungary. Granted, MU went 21-8 against teams that weren't 1-2 NCAA tournament teams. With a very young team. And I will miss the Thing. It would be fun to still have him, but there wouldn't be enough basketballs. Right now, for this team, they need GE more.

It is nice to be recognized nationally, but I hope it doesn't get in their heads that they are as good as their ranking until they can prove it on the court.

Ha, I don't think theyre resting on their laurels with a #22 preseason ranking. Top 10 - then we can talk.
