IL Preseason Top 25

1 - BC
2 - MD
3 - UNC
4 - JMU
5 - SBU
6 - Northwestern
7 - Florida
8 - Princeton
9 - PSU
10 - Virginia Tech
11 - Loyola
12 - Syracuse
13 - Navy
14 - Virginia
15 - Penn

17 - Stanford
18 - Georgetown
19 - Colorado
20 - Duke
21 - USC

Stony Brook, JMU & VA Tech will not finish the season in the Top 10.

Dartmouth, Notre Dame, USC and Duke are all Top 20.

Loyola, Penn and Virginia all Top 10.

Northwestern could be back in the Final Four.

Albany might surprise and finish in the Top 20.






Season starts in a month. We should know better after a few weeks. I would go with MD, UNC or BC if I was a betting man... The fourth team..... NW wouldn't surprise, UVA, Princeton, PSU? Looking forward to the season getting started.
