Not too many surprises in the top five: Preseason v. Jan 6 1. UConn - No Change 2. Duke - No Change 3. Michigan State - Not even a vote 4. Arizona - moved up to # 3 5. Missouri - 6 votes Jan. 6 v. PreSeason 4. Stanford - # 19 5. Wake Forest - # 20 Last years winner, Syracuse: Pre Season # 7, now # 17. Note on Mich. St. their record is 5-6 and 5 of the loses were to ranked opponents. Unusual scheduling for early in the year. Usually everyone pads there schedules with creampuffs. The Conference play is beginning so let's see where they are in a month. Another Note: Last year the Big East had the best NCAA tourney record and the winner. They also took 1st and 2nd in the NIT, the women won at UConn and the only team to beat UConn last year was Villanova, also Big East. Will the Big East repeat last year's phenomenal season?
