This shapes up as a potential big season for plenty of teams that werent big factors in last years NCAA Tournament.The preseason Top 25 that was released Monday includes five teams that failed to reach the 2016 NCAA Tournament. Theyre all included in this list of six potential 2017 NCAA Tournament contenders that werent included in the 2016 field.---CREIGHTON2015-16 record: 20-15 (NIT quarterfinals)No. 22 Creighton returns three players who had double-figure scoring averages last season in seniors Maurice Watson Jr. (14.1), Cole Huff (11.3) and Isaiah Zierden (10.2). Watson led the Big East with 229 assists last season, and he has the most career assists (639) of any active Division I player. Creighton adds Marcus Foster, who transferred from Kansas State after leading the Wildcats in scoring each of his two years there. Khyri Thomas is back after starting 28 games for Creighton as a freshman last season.---FLORIDA STATE2015-16 record: 20-14 (NIT second round)Florida State is the only unranked team on this list, but the Seminoles still have plenty of reason for optimism. They return two of their top three scorers from last season in guards Dwayne Bacon (15.8) and Xavier Rathan-Mayes (11.8). Last season, Bacon became the first freshman in school history to lead the Seminoles in both scoring and rebounding in the same season.

If the off-court issues dont prevent Louisville from making the field again, the Cardinals certainly should be good enough to earn an invitation. Although Louisville must replace its top three scorers from last season, the Cardinals still have plenty of talent with 6-10 forward/center Mangkok Mathiang returning from a broken foot and Quentin Snider leading the backcourt. The Cardinals are the highest-ranked team in the preseason Top 25 that failed to make last years tournament.---RHODE ISLAND2015-16 record: 17-15No. 23 Rhode Island is ranked in the preseason Top 25 for the first time since 1998-99.

Naar also averaged 6.4 assists and had 223 assists to tie Matthew Dellavedovas season school record. Naar, Pineau and Rahon are all preseason all-WCC selections.---UCLA2015-16 record: 15-17UCLA is ranked 16th despite finishing below .500 last season. The Bruins return four starters from last season. That list of returning starters includes senior guards Isaac Hamilton and Bryce Alford, who each averaged over 16 points last season.
