Gary Parrish Early Top 25 + 1 (Part II)


Hard to believe Wisconsin at #10 in the country. They are a good regular season team and they're consistently one of the best teams in the Big Ten, but #10 in the country is a stretch - of course, Parrish also had picked UW to the Final Four this past season, something those of us who pay attention to Bo's NCAA tourney history knew was not going to happen, so he definitely has at least a slight slant in favor of Wisky.

I think Louisville is going to be the best of the Big East, and could well be a solid top-5 team. I'm not as sold on Syracuse (who's going to play C? Somebody who's raw and not nearly as productive as Rick Jackson, that's who) or Vandy (had PG issues last year, did not take care of the ball well as a team - who's to say it's not going to be a problem again?). I think Parrish has Arizona underrated a bit - they were deep last year and return almost all of their top-9, and add a good 4-man recruiting class - he should flip them and Wisky.
