NEW YORK (AP) - Kansas is the runaway choice for No. 1 in The
Associated Press' preseason college basketball poll.
The Jayhawks return all five starters and welcome one of the
country's top recruiting classes. They are coming off a 27-and-8
season that ended in the third round of the NCAA tournament.
Kansas received 55 first-place votes from the 65-member national
media panel to easily outdistance Michigan State, which was No. 1
on five ballots. The Spartans return seven of their top nine
scorers from last season's national runner-up squad.
Texas, Kentucky and Villanova round out the top five. Defending
national champion North Carolina is sixth, with Purdue, West
Virginia, Duke and Tennessee completing the top 10.
