ONE MORE POLL

The release of The Associated Press preseason poll had UConn at No. 18, the same spot as the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll.
Florida opened at No. 1, again, followed closely by North Carolina and Kansas. Pittsburgh, which tied for fifth in the coaches' vote, was fourth and LSU fifth.
Can't say I'm too surprised by any of the projections. I guess it wouldn't have been a shock to see the Huskies a few spots higher since Hasheem Thabeet's eligibility is all taken care of, but since these early projections really mean nothing, I don't think there's too much to get caught up in.
I'm off to the Civic Center in a few hours and expecting to see a much better performance than last Wednesday.
