M Ranked #16 in SI Pre-Season BB Power Rankings
If Cronin & Morgan(assuming he doesn't redshirt) are able to grab boards and block a shot or two, we should be pretty damn good. We have a very tough schedule though, can't wait for the Kansas & Uconn games, that will give us a true indicator of just how good we can be.

Barring something unforeseen, I will be at that game. Can't wait!

This season is going to be fantastic. Everything that I've read says this team will be much more mature and ready to play than last year, and last year turned out pretty well. Can't wait to see how much Beilein has them overachieving this year.
It's nice to actually look forward to basketball for a change.

I thought we'd be ranked, but didn't imagine it would be this high. While I am happy we are ranked, I hope the team comes prepared to play every night. We now have a target on our backs with this high ranking.
Still, hell of a job Coach Beilein!

I much prefer 16 than where Andy Katz had us at 9 at one point. 16 is a comfortable contending position, and I wouldn't say that we have a target on our backs at this point.

I agree with SI, where they put us in the rankings. 16 seems about right to me

I think we'll be better than last year, but our record might not show it. The Big Ten is going to be an absolute bloodbath this year.
