5. Loyola-ChicagoFive teams that were snubbed or overrated in the preseason men's basketball poll--USA Today
Loyola-Chicago? A Cinderella? Sounds familiar, huh? An NCAA Tournament run in 2019 would be far less shocking than its Final Four run last March, however. The Ramblers have a top-15 point guard in Clayton Custer, and expectations of being the MVC's best team. There's already a seat with Sister Jean's name on it somewhere at the Final Four site (probably). Don't be surprised if they're back in the mix again come March, though their inclusion into the field of 68 come Selection Sunday is more expected than conference foe Illinois State.
Underrated: Loyola-Chicago (Not ranked). The Ramblers shocked the nation last March by winning four NCAA tournament games to reach the Final Four as an underdog mid-major. While the Ramblers lose two starters from last year’s storybook team, they also return three of their best players that fit with coach Porter Moser’s floor-spacing offense. Guard Clayton Custer is the reigning Missouri Valley player of the year and slimmed-down big man Cameron Krutwig is poised for a breakout season. The Ramblers will have an early opportunity to make some noise with a Nov. 27 matchup against No. 9 Nevada, a team it bounced in the Sweet 16.College basketball rankings: 2018-2019 FanSided preseason Top 25--Fansided

5. Northern Iowa
The Hy-Vee Classic is dying after this year - Iowa killed it by being the first to pull out - so I expect this game to be as meaningful as it’s ever been. Iowa pasted the Panthers during their last meeting and return two starters from that game: Spencer Haldeman and Juwan McCloud. While both saw their minutes dwindle as the season progressed, Haldeman more by choice and McCloud because of injury, they and the Iowans on the Panther roster will want to go out of the series a winner.
Iowa will need to be ready.

The Salukis also play Southeast Missouri State at home Nov. 14 and Murray State in Kentucky on Dec. 18. The Redhawks were picked fifth in the OVC preseason poll, while Murray State was picked last.
Tennessee-Martin received three first-place votes and was second in the preseason poll behind Belmont (20 first-place votes). Sophomore forward Chelsey Perry, one of two starters returning from last year's team that played in the WNIT, averaged 11.2 points and 5.7 rebounds per game last season. Senior guard Emaye Robertson (10.9 ppg., 4.4 apg.) also returns for the Skyhawks.
