KenPom preseason rankings for the Big Sky:

1. Weber (144 overall in D-1)
2. EWU (158)
3. UM (192)
4. PSU (211)
5. NAU (213)
6. Sac (226)
7. UNC (245)
8. MSU (284)
9. ISU (291)
10. UI (359 out of 362 - ouch)

Weber will be tough to beat this year with Dillon Jones returning after originally entering the Transfer Portal. For MSU, time to prove the rankings wrong!

I will take any bet that the 'Cats will finish higher than 8th.

No doubt. It's gonna be a dogfight in the BSC this season, and I'll be shocked if they finish that low.

I would guess UI is better than 359 out of 362.

Ouch. Hope to be surprised on the upside this year. Logie simply doesn't lose games this far, any Leon seems to find the winners every time. Go Cats.

New players,new system, new coach - it’s just hard to imagine us being in the top half.

4th seems like the right spot for the women, especially now that they've got Madison Jackson back to provide some more continuity and senior leadership for the many young players on the roster. Something tells me we might be in for a very good season now that Coach Binford has been able to clear out whatever behind-the-scenes drama may have existed on the team last year.

Somewhere between 4th and 7th is about where I'd predict the men to end up too, although it's really a gigantic unknown until we can see how all those new players can fit together with the returners. Can't wait for the season to start!
