Fox Sports rolls out their preseason College Basketball Top 25. Some teams of note.
1. Florida. Naturally.
3. Pitt. I’m assuming they’re ranked this high because Carlbury Krauser is finally gone. But I do like their roster (Aaron Gray, Ronald Ramon, Levon Kendall, etc.), and I think they’ll end up being deserving of the spot.
4. Ohio State. Greg Oden’s ready to show the world exactly what Mike Cooper was masturbating about.
9. Creighton. Awfully lofty for a mid-major team, but the Missouri Valley Conference certainly proved their masculinity during last year’s NCAA tournament. The improbably white Nate Funk returns.
13. Marquette. Dominic James is my darkhorse call for player of the year.
20. Hofstra. Hey, the Pride. That’s really all I have to say on the subject.
You can check out the rest here.

There’s nothing “Dark Horse” about James being player of the year. He can score from anywhere on the floor. I’m half surprised he didn’t go pro after last year.

MJD, what are you more sad about?
A. The fact that you need to come up with a new way to make fun of Pitt this year, since Krauser is gone (the Krauser jokes have to end SOMETIME).
or
B. WVU no longer having a basketball team.

Johnny, I think the dark horse comes in because he doesn’t play for Duke, Carolina, Kansas, or Ohio State…
And Keith, I’m almost positive that WVU will beat Pitt at least once this year.

A speedy guard from Maruqette? Mark Cuban should just start bitching now.
