    IU basketball ranked No. 18 in the preseason coaches poll

    IU basketball is a consensus top-20 program going into the 2024-25 season.

    The Hoosiers are ranked No. 18 in the preseason coaches poll released on Wednesday. They were ranked No. 17 in the preseason AP Poll released last week.

    Mike Woodson’s fourth IU squad appears to be his most talented.  All five of his projected starters (Oumar Ballo, Malik Reneau, Mackenzie Mgbako, Kanaan Carlyle and Myles Rice) received some measure of conference-level recognition following the 2023-24 season.  And he’ll have proven veterans off the bench such as Trey Galloway and Luke Goode, along with McDonald’s All-American freshman Bryson Tucker.

    The voting by the coaches was similar to the AP Poll, with Purdue leading the way from the Big Ten at No. 13.  The Boilermakers were No. 14 according to the AP.  UCLA is No. 22 in both polls.  The coaches placed Illinois at No. 24 and left out Rutgers.  Illinois was not ranked by the AP and Rutgers was No. 25 according to the AP.

    Michigan State, Oregon, Ohio State, Maryland and Wisconsin all also received votes from the coaches.

    Indiana plays their first preseason exhibition on Sunday against No. 12 Tennessee in Knoxville.

    Preseason Coaches Poll Top 25:
    1. Kansas (15)
    2. Alabama (6)
    3. UConn (6)
    4. Houston (4)
    5. Duke
    6. Iowa State
    7. Gonzaga
    8. Baylor
    9. Arizona
    10. North Carolina
    11. Auburn
    12. Tennessee
    13. Purdue
    14. Creighton
    15. Texas A&M
    16. Arkansas
    17. Marquette
    18. Indiana
    19. Texas
    20. Cincinnati
    21. Florida
    22. UCLA
    23. Kentucky
    24. Illinois
    25. Ole Miss

    Others receiving votes: Texas Tech 60; Rutgers 57; St. John’s 42; Xavier 26; Michigan State 25; Oregon 16; BYU 16; Kansas State 11; Saint Mary’s 9; Boise State 9; Clemson 8; Ohio State 7; Dayton 7; Maryland 4; Grand Canyon 3; Wake Forest 2; Virginia 2; San Diego State 2; Princeton 2; Mississippi State 2; Wisconsin 1.
