The college basketball offseason is here, and we decided to have some fun over the next few months, ranking ALL 364 teams in D1. Number 356 is Presbyterian basketball.
Before you say we’re crazy – or that all of this is up for debate, let’s go over the very intricate process of how we came to this conclusion. We took a very statistical approach – with the help of Chat GPT – taking into consideration everything from March Madness wins and finishes, to AP Poll appearances, to conference players of the year. And then, a good friend of ours, Scott Blanchard, took our approach to the MAX.

Overall scoop on Presbyterian basketball
From the Screaming Eagles to the Blue Hose, we’ve hit the point of our series where we’re at some pretty cool nicknames. But unfortunately, that hasn’t led to great basketball being played.
Presbyterian has actually had some solid seasons – had 12 wins or more in 8 of their 19 played. But only one winning record came in 2018-19 when the Blue Hose went 20-16. Dustin Kerns was the coach, and he only stayed two years because he’d jump ship to App State, where he’s done a solid job for the past seven seasons.
Now, Presbyterian basketball is coached by Quinton Ferrell, who had his best season this past year, going 15-18 and 7-9 in the Big South.
Next season could be promising. The Blue Hose are set to lose a few rotation players, but Triston Wilson (11.4 PPG, 3.8 APG) and Jaylen Peterson (10.9 PPG, 7.5 RPG) are both set to come back as of Monday, Apr. 13.
