Hoyas "Receiving Votes" in Preseason Associated Press Poll

The first Associated Press College Basketball Poll of the season is out and your Hoyas aren't ranked, but they aren't forgotten either.

The preseason Associated Press Poll is out and Georgetown has received 5 votes. They are, expectedly, well outside the top-25. Kentucky is predictably the top team, as John Calipari has assembled another supremely talented squad of mostly sophomores and freshmen (and Willie Cauley-Stein).

Here are the full rankings:

Villanova is the only other Big East squad ranked or receiving votes. Things can (hopefully) only go up for both the Hoyas and the conference.
