The College Basketball world has been at a complete standstill since March 13th when Covid-19 canceled the 2020 NCAA Tournament. All of that changes this week. College Basketball is back and ready to take this country by storm. A new season comes with new expectations and preseason rankings, and predictions for how this season will go. Some have even said this season could be the best season we have ever had because the talent gap has closed this year and, without fans in attendance, the perfect storm awaits.

The Mitch Davis Show preseason rankings are reflective of how I believe this will go. These rankings will change throughout the year as we inch closer to the NCAA Tournament in March.

Here’s how I expect things to go this season:

1. Gonzaga
2. Baylor
3. Villanova
4. Virginia
5. Kansas
6. Tennessee
7. Iowa
8. Kentucky
9. Wisconsin
10. Duke
11. Illinois
12. Texas Tech
13. Oregon
14. Creighton
15. Alabama
16. North Carolina
17. West Virginia
18. UCLA
19. Michigan State
20. Richmond
21. Ohio State
22. Texas
23. Arizona State
24. Houston
25. St. Louis

Preseason Player of the Year: Luka Garza ( Iowa)

This college basketball season will be unlike anything we have ever seen before.
