Are SU and UConn reversed?

Are SU and UConn reversed?

No, Syracuse is #1, Uconn #2. Lower points are better

i watched drummond win the slam dunk contest... i had no idea he has that type of athleticism at 6'11".

Cincy is a dark horse to finish in the top 3.

 

[texascpa]

Rutgers is ranked way too high.

 

[StopCoolio]

Can someone explain how St. John's is picked ahead of Seton Hall? I'm not saying the Hall is anything great but St. John's is currently having open casting calls on campus trying to fill out a team and is going to have at least a walk on or two in their rotation. Sorry, just not seeing where the wins come from for them.

I agree Cincy is a sleeper.

hazell, robinson and their pg graduated... st johns recruited better

They still have Pope and Theodore I believe. Definitely agree with Stopcoolio. Odd choice by the writers

 

[edowd26]

they also got faquan edwin... who kicked our faces last year.

The Hall has Theodore back at PG.

St. John's recruited better but a third of them are ineligible and they're left with a bunch of freshmen wings and guards. I just think this league is gonna eat them up.

Not like it's earth shattering or anything. Just a weird pick to me.

Drummond looks like he plays on a 8 foot rim

 

[EastCoast2]

Definitely interesting... UConn must've gotten a few #3 votes and SU no lower than #2

 

[jordoo]

I just can't believe that they have Providence below DePaul. I'd be all worked up if I were a Providence fan.

 

[SkanSU]

I just can't believe that they have Providence below DePaul. I'd be all worked up if I were a Providence fan.

Especially since DePaul has lost one of its starters (I believe) for the season.

 

[JOC44]

Definitely interesting... UConn must've gotten a few #3 votes and SU no lower than #2

Looks like we probably got these votes:

First Place (6) = 6 points
Second Place (7) = 14 points
Third Place (3) = 9 points

The only other mathematical possibility I see is 6 first place votes, eight second place votes, one third place vote, and one 4th place vote.

If Providence is really that terrible, I'm glad we're playing them twice.
