Huskies picked 6th in preseason Pac-12 men’s basketball media poll

The Washington Huskies men’s basketball team was picked sixth in the preseason Pac-12 media poll, released today at the league’s media day in San Francisco.

Oregon, with 23 of 27 first-place votes, was picked to win the Pac-12, with Arizona coming in at No. 2.

The Huskies were picked to finish 11th last season before finishing with a 9-9 conference record, tied for sixth in the Pac-12 standings. They lost their top three scorers from a year ago -- guards Andrew Andrews and Dejounte Murray, and forward Marquese Chriss -- but are receiving some preseason attention after adding freshman guard Markelle Fultz, the projected No. 1 pick in the 2017 NBA draft.

Here is the full preseason poll:
