JamesBouknightStan's Week Pre-Season Ballot

RankTeamReason
1 UConn Added a big lead guard, depth at the 5, and depth at the guard spot (any of the top 5 could be here tho but feels like most of the issues were solved from last season)
2 Purdue Jacobson returning to this core is massive, they will be very good
3Florida Defending champs have a great deal of depth (in the front court especially)
4 Houston Kelvin Sampson 'nuff said
5 Gonzaga Feel like Venters finally being healthy paired with Smith will be huge
