COLLEGE BASKETBALL IS FINALLY HERE !!!!!!!

The college basketball season is finally upon us! Indiana University begins the season as the number one team in the country. The Hoosiers are deep at every position on the court. Pre-season National Player of the Year candidate Cody Zeller anchors the middle of a potent offense capable of producing big numbers. The Hoosiers welcome in a Top 5 recruiting class to add to last year's Sweet 16 squad. Kevin "Yogi" Ferrell highlights the class because of his All-American status. In his first game as a collegiate player, Yogi showed the skills of a great floor leader. He scored 10 points and dished out 7 assist in a display of blazing speed and complete control of the offense. Bryant University did not stand a chance losing 97-54. The Hoosiers played the game in a fashion that screams " We are the number one team in the country!" I would have to agree, after watching the team's offensive and defensive improvements. Indiana has all the ingredients to win a National Championship starting with a good "floor general" and a "solid big man". Yogi Ferrell is proving to be the missing piece that could carry them over the top. The Big Ten has the title of being the toughest conference in America. Five teams are represented in the Top 25 polls lead by Indiana at number 1. Ohio State and Michigan are ranked 4th and 5th respectively, while Michigan State and Wisconsin round out the Top 25 at 14th and 23rd. The college basketball season should give everyone plenty of thrills and major upsets. The Top 25 polls will have a few unexpected teams on the list as the season goes on. The beauty of college basketball is not knowing where that surprise team will come from. I have composed my own top 25 list.
