The college hoops writer staff did a poll of numerous preseason questions like national champs, biggest dissapointment, etc.
Sju received a vote for biggest surprise.
Blurb:
“St. John’s – maybe. Let’s say the Red Storm could be the biggest surprise in the country. With Big East scoring leader Shamorie Ponds back and Auburn transfer Mustapha Heron in the mix, Chris Mullin has an abundance of talent. Expectations and reality don’t always jibe at St. John’s, which hasn’t been to a Sweet 16 since 1999, so it’s way too soon to anoint this team the next big thing. — Shannon Russell
Marquette won the biggest surprise poll with 3 voters.
Shamorie also received a vote for player you would pay money to sit in a seat and watch. Zion Williamson won that category with 10 votes.
Villanova received 2 votes for top 10 team most likely to disappoint. Nevada won that category with 5 votes.
