The Indiana Basketball Coaches Association boys basketball preseason poll has been released with Carmel edging out Cathedral for the top spot.

The IBCA poll does not consider class standing for its top 20 poll. Every boys basketball program is available to be ranked.

Carmel received six first-place votes and enough total points to surpass Cathedral, 10 first-place votes, for the No. 1 ranking just ahead of the boys basketball season debut tonight.

Following Cathedral in the top 10 are Homestead, Westfield, Lawrence North, Warren Central, Indianapolis Attucks, Fishers, Indianapolis Tech, Zionsville and Jeffersonville – the latter two being tied for No. 10.

The second 10 includes Brebeuf, Ben Davis, Gary West Side, Bloomington North, North Central, Mishawaka Marian, Mt. Vernon (Fortville), Bloomington South and Lawrence Central.

Other notable programs receiving votes were Center Grove, Connersville, Park Tudor, Plainfield and Tindley.
