Basketball poll released

Coaches poll is out.. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/rankings

No Ms St... in the top 25! No votes at all in fact... Going to shock some people!

[Dallas_Dawg]

You forgot the ***

[RIdog]

Actually looking forward to hoops for the 1st time in years .

It's still weird to look at these rankings since the 16 team Big East dissolved. No UConn, Syracuse, Georgetown, Pitt, L'Ville, in the top 25. That's got to be the first time in a very long time not one of those teams is ranked.

[BayouDawg]

Do y'all think we go with a small lineup a lot this year? We don't have a ton of depth in the front court but we have a good amount of talented front court players. As of now we have ware, Daniels, Zuppo, and Ndoye in the front court. So that gives us 4. If Strugg plays that'll give us 5 and could really help even if he just gave us a few decent minutes a game. What are your thoughts on what the lineups will look like this year?

I believe we will come up short in the backcourt again. Nothing has improved. No new players to help Ware out. Remains to be seen if Ware will contribute better this year.

Bleacher Report gave us better chances than some, predicting us at 7th in the SEC.

BR's predicted order of finish:
1. Kentucky Wildcats (Last Season: 18-0)
2. Texas A&M Aggies (Last Season: 11-7)
3. Florida Gators (Last Season: 8-10)
4. Vanderbilt Commodores (Last Season: 9-9)

Mark Fox is one of the voters and couldn't even give his own Georgia Bulldogs one vote

Depends on if you think Newman, Sword, Fred, Daniels, Ware is a small lineup cause that's what you'll see mostly.

[shannondawg]

Trust me , he will.

[Saltydog]

significantly better so to say "nothing has changed" is well, STUPID!

No new players to help him out? Newman... Our perimeter shooting and guards will help set him up. Defense will have to honor that.

[dickiedawg]

context tells me he meant nothing has changed in the front court, not the backcourt.

Obviously the backcourt is leaps and bounds better than last year, barring injury.

[Coach34]

We will be top 6 in the SEC

This is on the low end of the range most have us. I've seen us as high as 4. CBS is just dumb.

We lose Roquez, but we add Zuppardo and will add Holman eventually.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

We will run a lot of 3 guard with IJ, Malik, & Chicken. Our starting lineup will be Newman, Sword, Thomas, Daniel, & Ware.

[JoseBrown]

The one HUGE change this year is coaching! Players will improve by that fact alone. Oh, and Malik!

[engie]

When the 3rd best traditional program in the conference arguably is the only pure dumpster fire at this point in time --- you know conference depth has improved...

[Tbonewannabe]

We might have 2 all sec players with Newman and Sword. These guys are going to make Ware a lot better down low.
