Preseason Metro Ranking

 

 

 

We’ve covered the preseason All-Americans, Final Four picks and individual team previews. Now it’s time for the fun stuff – the guys who make college basketball so fun to watch. Let the debates begin:

 

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - The IUPUI Jaguars basketball team got off to a sluggish start on Tuesday, dropping its season-opener to Northeastern 73-60 in the opening game of the Ann Arbor Regional of the 2K Sports Classic benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer. Junior Robert Glenn scored a game-high 19 points on 5-of-6 shooting and freshman Alex Young added 17 points and six rebounds in 24 minutes.

Eugene Spates led four Northeastern players in double-digits with 14 points and preseason All-Colonial pick Matt Janning added 13 points.

It’s not just the under-the-radar high school prospects that end up playing their college ball at non-BCS schools nowadays.  15 out of Rivals.com’s top 150 prospects for 2008 committed to non-BCS schools.  Add to that the 18 players from the year before and you’ve got a serious influx of talent for the Davids to help fight off the Goliaths.
