Cougar Hoops #40 in Coaches' Poll

Post by snoscythe »

Cougars came in at #40 with 16 votes, 95 votes away from the top 25.

Other notables:

Tulsa 17 votes
SDSU 8 votes
USU 3 votes
UNLV 2 votes

Perplexing--not a single vote for either ASU or UofA. How the mighty have fallen.

I've been reading this would be a relatively down year for the MWC. I know we've had our share of 20+ win seasons the past few years, but does this ranking surprise anyone else?

Seems high...but...i'll TAKE IT>

Actually we have made the tournament for several years in a row and have most of the same players and the same coach. I am a little surprised we didn't end up higher.

I thought we'd be ranked higher as well. I thought we'd be in the 22-32 range. We'll crack the top 25 this year and stay there.

We don't have a strong schedule this year. We'll to beat the few marquee teams we do meet.
