The Top 144 previews

[fjs64]

Here we go again....hard to react when we really don't know what it will look like or if there will truly be a season. Assuming all is well, and hopefully it is, my sports spirit will resurface. The baseball saga is taking a lot from sports fans, and hopefully thinking about college basketball will rejuvenate.

How difficult to make predictions......this is what they say:

"Even in normal times, ranking the top 144 college basketball teams in the nation is no easy task. This season has even more difficulties with the NBA Draft withdrawal deadline pushed back and many collegiate teams taking more time than usual to finalize their rosters. Regardless, we have tried our best to get the most accurate and current information for each team at the time of posting."

...we never have to see Jon Axel Gudmundson again.

Amen to that!

Any guesses where they rank us?
It’s #91 now?
I’ll say in the upper 70s so I’ll take my graduation year #79.

Yale just came in at 89, too bad we are not going to be able to play them.

Did or do we miss him?
Is his projected WAR substantially better than our current players?

Duquesne comes in at #80. They have 8 "key returning players" listed to go with 10 "new key players" listed. What's this? The Dukes' Covid expanded roster?
