Happy Tuesday Nova Nation! Something funny happened yesterday. I actually cared about a preseason poll in June. No, I didn’t care about where Nova was ranked or how they compared to the rest of the blue bloods of college basketball. I cared about Marquette being ranked 27th.
Yesterday Andy Katz posted his Top 36 teams (ok, so we’re just using arbitrary numbers now are we?). After losing four players to the NBA draft, most of these polls have Nova ranked in the Top 10. Katz had the Cats at #10, a spot that recognizes both the 2018 National Championship and the fact that the cupboard is far from bare on the Main Line.
