SI ranks preseason basketball, skips past Iowa

Apr. 11, 2013 6:52 pm
These polls will be fun through the fall for you Iowa men's basketball fans.
Will the Hawkeyes be ranked in the preseason or not? Some have already put Iowa in their pre-preseason Top 25s. Others, like this Sports Illustrated list assembled by Seth Davis, say no.
But Davis does rank five Big Ten teams. They are:
2. Michigan State (with a caveat that Adreian Payne could turn pro), 7. Ohio State, 14. Michigan (with the apparent assumption freshmen Mitch McGary and Glenn Robinson III will be Wolverine sophomores instead of NBA rookies), 16. Indiana, 17. Wisconsin.
I guess the Big Ten will be good again next season.
