Call me skeptical. CMmU is team to beat in my opinion.

I think you're right, but I do think Toledo will surprise you.

I wonder if the 2 people that vited Delaware as the top team know Delle Donne is in the wnba now? Lol

I wonder if our ranking is based on past performance, or if coaches really know something about the new players we have coming in. I suspect the former. I'm shocked to see us ranked above all other MAC teams.

If we gel early I see us as number two in the West and maybe making some noise in the MAC. The cupboard CERTAINLY isn't bare.

Agree - the Chips lost two starters who combined for nearly 18 points a game but they return the top two scorers. No reason to expect a drop off. They have a tough schedule playing Kentucky, Marquette, Xavier, Duke, Purdue, Notre Dame. along with Kansas and Dayton twice each before hosting the Rockets

I know I'm sounding like a broken record since I've said similar things on other threads, but why are Ball State and Akron being disrespected?

Toledo received 6 votes in USA/Coach's Top 25 Poll-a week old FYI. Guevara was only MAC coach voting. Votes seem based on last yr's performance.

Men are #23 FWIW.

That is an extremely impressive out-of-conference schedule. Kentucky, Duke and Xavier are all games from a tournament held in the Virgin Islands. All the other games except one game with Dayton are away games which makes for a brutal schedule----hopefully for CMU some of those match-ups also involve a return game at Mt. Pleasant.

Getting into that Virgin Island's tournament was quite a coup and I suspect Crystal Bradford was a big factor in CMU's inclusion. She became a lot better known outside MAC circles with her play for the US National Team and IMO she should have been POY in the MAC last year.

The POY vote was a travesty. I loved Naama but there was no question as to who the MAC' s best player was. I hope she regresses to her junior high skill level this year but last year she was easily the best.
