Way-Too-Early WCC Men's Basketball Power Rankings For 2025-2026

12. San Diego It's been rough sledding for the Toreros. After finishing last in the conference, they have lost nearly their entire team. One of the bright spot

Saw this was published a few days ago. Sounds like they have some nice pieces and could potentially challenge Gonzaga and St Mary’s in the WCC.

UST has played 3 of those 4…

I’ll take it at this point. How about we top this schedule off with a home and home (home this year) with a Creighton, Iowa St, Marquette, or Drake!

So is this San Fran game the 2nd leg of a neutral site home & home that was just never reported on? I've never been to the Sanford Pentagon and would like to hit that up, but wish it wasn't scheduled for a CFB Saturday.

Kinda interesting that both Mizzou and San Fran games will have a year break between being played.

Between Mizzou, San Fran, and the Palm Springs tourney it isn't horrible...but will be very disappointing if we have yet another season at the Barn without a decent non conf home game.

Interesting thought, but I doubt it's a formal return for the earlier game. The Pentagon generally schedules these directly. It's a cool venue, but small so the tickets tend to go fast.

Same old cowardly scheduling. The Mizzou game was “owed” and the Acrisure tournament previously scheduled. At least he didn’t back out of it. USF in SoDak is the marquee scheduling coup of this regime. Not impressed. If the last slot is another cupcake, nothing has changed.

The Acrisure Tournament was announced after Ben Johnson was let go as well as mere days before Medved was hired. His prior team (Colorado St) participated in the event last year.

I don't think it's too hard to connect the dots to think the current HC had a hand in having those games on the Gophers slate.

I stand corrected. The teams in the Gophers' bracket are not exactly resume "scalps" (surefire tourney teams), but they're not Cal Baptist either.

The schedule is still quite pitiful.

Per Rocco Miller, it'll be Stanford, Saint Louis, and Santa Clara in the Gophers' Acrisure Series bracket.

Should all be respectable next season. And I'd guess top 100 teams. So a couple Q2 opportunities at the worst. Out of the 3 I think SLU will probably be the best so hopefully we get them at least once.
