People always sleeping on Creighton this is the first time I’ve seen credit being given to them

[GoatedAtNFS]

no this is already hard to predict because the transfer portal allows powerhouses to rebuild even more

[basquait]

I am a Big Ten Fan for Life. Purdue Cal Grad. and Cats are sleeping on how good UCONN is. Duke, NC, Kansas, a seat because UCONN is here.

Love Houston & coach Sampson the way he has them playing every year. Unfortunate they not reaching a final 4 at least for consecutive years

[AndreInThe]

I'm glad you put Duke near top, getting those 2 top 5 '25 lottery picks who complement each other so well is going to be a serious force next season. Unless Huskies make some moves, they're not getting near 3 in a row.

How is Indiana not in the top 36 they got number one Oumar Ballo number 17 Miles Rice and five star commit Bryson Tucker

Plus Trey Galloway coming back
Malik Reneau and Mgbako coming back as well how Andy?

[willhclark]

If Shead comes back Houston is so loaded. Even without they are still loaded but they would need a great PG/creator from portal or existing roster.

Gonzaga will finally win it all next season! It’s Mark Few’s time!

[arnoldgarzajr]

The way to early top 25 poll.Ok cool but way to early.We will have to wait for September or October for the start of the 2024-25.But from this poll I would have to choose Houston to win the 2025 NCAA final four tournament.Against whom idk maybe Alabama or North Carolina.I think Houston is returning alot of starters this upcoming season.We will see and as of now Connecticut is the best team.

[TS-npco]

Uconn will pick up Goldin and Davis from FAU and Dubar from Hofstra. Karaban said he wants 3 rings. Stewart, Diarra, Ball and Johnson will be unreal. Providence, Newark and then….. uh oh Texas. Think they may also add McNeely who secretly desires to beat Flagg after being his overshadowed teammate these last years. Stairway to seven baby!!!

Kentucky is not a good enough job to even back up the truck for Hurley.

[abelcainsbrother]

I know it is way too early but it is nice to see Alabama in the top 5 in basketball. Roll Tide!

[anthonyyusef]

Dont be surprised if Uconn gets more to come back than you think. Hurley has something cooking in Storrs and everyone knows it..

[andrewgere]

Why would Hurley ever consider going to Kentucky? UConn has won back to back titles and Hurley can get just about any player he wants. He’s got the pick of the transfer portal and every high performing kid in a weak league wants to be the next Cam Spencer. Kentucky hasn’t won since 2012, and has lost spectacularly relative to the talent on their roster in recent years. The conversation is laughable.

[alfredguinto]

That is so wrong putting Duke that high every year and end up a failed one lol
Give Duke a break pressure kids cannot take!

[jjack-zmsr]

How about anything UConn is number one by the middle of the year in that poll

[Majesticon]

I think if they can retain some guys, Michigan state may have a bounce back year...Clemson I just can't trust them...purdue no athleticism and shooting, I'm sorry I don't buy them... Rutgers is gonna be a tough out..

Houston, Alabama, UNC, Duke, Zags are my top 5. Iowa st, Kansas, Kansas knocking on the door...I think ohio st. might have a sneaky good season too

[B-Eazy]

Rutgers will be better than rank 36 way to much talent

[mariorovira]

You forgot Missouri. They care more about basketball dating back to their border war rivalry with kansas

[salaplaylistfast]

OK SO ANDY....WHO DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR WAY TOO EARLY 2025 FINAL FOUR BRACKETS?
