Pretty much what I expected except I would have flipped Fairmont and NDC.

Given how Frostburg football over performed all expectations, it will be interesting to see how Frostburg basketball performs. But beyond the two teams being from the same school, not much else says that Frostburg basketball can do the same.

Yep. I sure don't get the FSU buzz.

They (ND and FSU) both got a break opening weekend with Till being out for SRU.

Don't think a lot of thought goes into these pre season coaches polls. More what you did last year and reputation than honest evaluation.

But hey..great indication that basketball is just around the corner!!!!

Lol good one. Six new players. Zero seniors. Only one experienced post defender at 6-5. But intensity will be off the charts. Much more quickness in pressing opponents and creating chaos.

could be some rough spots until February as they learn to play together.
