Despite landing two of the top class of 2024 recruits in the country - not to mention multiple big-time additions through the transfer portal - the Arizona State men's basketball team is not on the national radar.

And maybe that's a good thing.

After watching Kenny Dillingham and the Sun Devils' football team defy all of the oddsmakers and race out to a stunning 5-1 record, Bobby Hurley has to be channeling the same energy for his basketball team.

The latest preseason men's basketball rankings came out Wednesday, and Arizona State did not receive a single vote.

The Big 12 has six teams ranked in the preseason USA Today Coaches Poll: Kansas is ranked No. 1, followed by Houston at No. 4, Iowa State at No. 6, Baylor at No. 8, Arizona at No. 9 and Cincinnati at No. 20.

Three more Big 12 teams received votes: Texas Tech (60), BYU (16) and Kansas State (11).
