The weeks leading up to the start of the college basketball season provide media days, preseason award watch lists and the preseason polls.
On Thursday, the USA TODAY Coaches Preseason Poll was released giving us an early look at this year’s top teams.
The USA TODAY Coaches poll is conducted weekly throughout the regular season by a panel of coaches that represent the 32 major conferences in college basketball.
The teams in the top 25 earn points, which helps determine the poll. No. 1 gets 25 points, No. 2 gets 24 and so on.
