Welcome to The Sports Bank’s second annual college basketball season preview series. Last year we looked at 99 teams in 99 days. This year, we are being slightly more aggressive and expanding to 111 teams in 111 days. We will rank the 74 power conference teams and top 37 mid-majors in reverse power ranking order. We’ll break down rosters, non-conference schedules, and pick a player to watch for each team.
A year ago, the Richmond Spiders advanced to the Sweet 16 for just the second time in program history. In the process, they set a school record with 29 wins. However, the team with the scariest logo in the history of team logos (I hate spiders) loses four starters and will struggle to find the level of success they have reached the past couple seasons.
