College basketball rankings 2018-19: Where every team ranks in each state, from top to bottom--CBS Sports

Last year Illinois fans got into a tizzy when I picked Illinois State to be better than the Illini. Guess what: It's going to be the case again. The Redbirds, in fact, are expecting to be better than Loyola-Chicago, too. They're picked as such here at CBS Sports. Dan Muller hopes to break through to the Big Dance after coming close multiple times in recent years.

The Hoosiers are no sure thing to be the best in Indiana, but the way things set up, Notre Dame, Purdue and Butler are reasonably clustered right behind IU. Romeo Langford steps in to play for Archie Miller in Bloomington. Indiana fans are praying this kid can bring a certain magic to this season, the kind of game-changing presence he had the past four years in high school.

We've had plenty of coverage about Kentucky, the top team in the commonwealth, in the buildup to the season. But we know you want to know all the new names on this team. First off, grad transfer Reid Travis is the most important. But the freshmen who will be factors are: guards Ashton Hagans, Tyler Herro, Immanuel Quickley; forward E.J. Montgomery; and wing Keldon Johnson. Johnson might well be the best overall player on the roster.

The best team in the Big Ten could have three of the 20 best players in the league if Cassius Winston, Nick Ward and Joshua Langford come together in their third year on the team to form a power trio. There's options elsewhere (Foster Loyer might move into some good minutes eventually), but MSU's success rests on those players' shoulders.

Marquette
The Wisconsin-vs.-Marquette debate could be one of the closer ones among intra-state rivals in college hoops this season. Because Marquette's got the superior offense, more experience and a bit more to build on from last season, Steve Wojciechowski's team gets the nod here. Markus Howard's star is rising, but watch from Sam Hauser and his brother, Joey, who's a freshman. Joseph Chartouny and Ed Morrow come aboard as transfers. This sets up as the best season yet for Wojo in Milwaukee.

Takeaway
This game is on the schedule because Youngstown State’s head coach is former WVU director of basketball operations and Fairmont State head coach Jarrod Calhoun. Look for YSU to be an improved team in Calhoun’s second year, but not nearly enough to give WVU more than a few minutes of sweat.
