intronexondna's Ballot for Preseason of 2019-20| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Michigan State
|
No real explanation necessary, they're loaded. Cassius is a likely NPOY and they've got the pieces around him to win. |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
Dotson should challenge Cassius for NPOY honors. I love the depth they've got and I feel like their frontcourt will be terrific. |
| 3 |
Kentucky
|
A very deep team that I believe will challenge for the #1 overall seed, I wanna see how the freshman develop. Good returning players though. |
| 4 |
Louisville
|
Nwora is one of the best players in the country and he is surrounded with great players. I think they'll win the ACC |
| 5 |
Florida
|
Kerry Blackshear turned them into an SEC contender. I love the experience they bring. |
| 6 |
Duke
|
I'm a little lower, bias aside, because I don't think they have good scoring. Should be great defensivley |
| 7 |
North Carolina
|
UNC will go as far as Cole takes them. Aside from that, finding other scorers will be the main focus |
| 8 |
Gonzaga
|
Its sad they lost Norvell, but I think Tillie is fantastic and they should finish with 2-3 losses. |
| 9 |
Villanova
|
They've lost a little more than I thought they would but they have excellent incoming recruits. I expect them to be great. |
| 10 |
Maryland
|
I don't really trust Mark Turgeon, but the talent is certainly there |
| 11 |
Seton Hall
|
Myles Powell |
| 12 |
Texas Tech
|
|
| 13 |
Memphis
|
Extremely talented but will Penny make it work? I don't know |
| 14 |
Virginia
|
I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt here, I don't know if they have any real scoring threats |
| 15 |
Baylor
|
I don't think they'll challenge Kansas for the XII, though I think they can hand them a loss. I think they'll be a 3 seed/2 seed sleeper |
| 16 |
Oregon
|
Payton Pritchard is a solid starting point guard and they have good talent around him |
| 17 |
Utah State
|
I feel like this is the team that could surprise people and pull a 2014 Wichita State |
| 18 |
Ohio State
|
Unfortunately didn't return as much as they could, they should still be decent. |
| 19 |
Arizona
