College basketball is inching closer and closer, and we really know that now because the Preseason AP Top 25 is out!
The Big East Conference has just one team in the Top 25 to begin the season. Unsurprisingly, their representative is the Villanova Wildcats. The defending National Champions start off the year ranked 9th in the polls, although they did garner one first-place vote.
The rest of the AP Top 10 features, in order: the Kansas Jayhawks, Kentucky Wildcats, Gonzaga Bulldogs, Duke Blue Devils, Virginia Cavaliers, Tennessee Volunteers, Nevada Wolf Pack, North Carolina Tar Heels and, after Villanova, the Michigan State Spartans.
