Players to watch: Junior T.J. Smith returns from an injury that caused him to miss his sophomore season. Senior Myles Howard was a breakout player this summer. The sophomore backcourt of shooting guard Brandon Hurt and point guard Chase Adams is young but talented.
Did you know? Head coach Mike Taylor is eight wins shy of 200 career wins at Marian Catholic. He's gone 192-159 in 12 seasons at the school.
Why they're in the Power Rankings: Marian Catholic took some lumps the first season of the post-Tyler Ulis era but they have a ton of young talent and some good size on the interior. Howard is a classic late-bloomer, Smith, a Division I prospect, is healthy and Hurt and Adams are fun to watch.
