It’s never too early to start to look ahead to next season. Over the coming weeks, ESPN will examine what comes next for each team in the Power 5 conferences and also those outside the Power 5 who could make noise on the national stage. Villanova Wildcats - June 25, 2015
Butler Bulldogs - June 26, 2015
I assume there will be more of these previews (including Georgetown, Xavier, and Marquette as a minimum).

I wouldn't necessarily count on one for Marquette. While NBC sees them as a top 25 team, they're pretty much the only one that does.

You're right. After six Big East previews, ESPN has moved on to the MVC.

Are they seriously just going to ignore the Jays, Marquette, DePaul, and Seton Hall??

This isn't football, so what does the so-called power 5 have to do with.

Guess sending 60% of your conference to the NCAA tourney and having the 2nd best conference RPI isnt worth much.
Oh well, can't wait to read the Northwestern preview.

From reading the Northwestern and Colorado State ESPN previews, i learned:
1. They really dislike Bill Carmody.
But in Carmody's 13 seasons at Northwestern, he had double-digit wins 12 times and actually made the NIT. In the 30 years prior to Carmody arriving, NU had won in double-digits only 7 times.
Also, Carmody in his final 5 seasons had actually won 17, 20, 20, 19, then 13 games... pre-Carmody, Northwestern hadn't won more than 15 games in a season ever.
Also, Northwestern hired Carmody from the hc spot at Princeton, and he was a former assistant to Pete Carril... why would NU or ESPN expect anything other than the Princeton offense with passing and backdoor cuts, etc.
2. I then learned:
That the Colorado State Rams play in Boulder...?
