Preseason Top 25 for Next Season in College Basketball
After the UConn Huskies defeated the young Kentucky Wildcats team in the national championship game by the final of 60-54, the off season in college basketball has officially begun. It’s time to talk about the coaching changes, incoming recruits for next season, and the structure of the team for the 2014-15 basketball season.
A majority of teams like the Kentucky Wildcats, Duke Blue Devils, Arizona Wildcats, UConn Huskies, Kansas Jayhawks, and Syracuse Orange are losing some of their best players to the NBA (National Basketball Association). The one-and-done’s are in this sport for good and not even the great John Calipari can stop it from happening.
When I took a look at ESPN’s and CBS Sports preseason poll for next season, I decided to write down my own personal top 25 poll for next season. I know people are going to disagree with me and that’s why I love this sport because there’s so many discussions that can take place.
Enough jabs from me, here’s my top 25 for the 2014-15 season:
1. Wisconsin
2. Duke
3. Arizona
4. Wichita State
5. Kentucky
6. Florida
