Despite graduating a large group of key seniors last season, UB Women’s Basketball has found itself near the top of the Mid-American Conference preseason poll.
Buffalo received 62 points in this year’s MAC East poll, just enough to edge out Miami as the preseason favorite for the division. However, the RedHawks did collect five first-place votes compared to the Bulls’ four. Ohio also received a few votes, further showing that the MAC East is up for grabs this year.
Out of 12 possible votes from MAC head coaches, Buffalo also garnered 3 votes to win this year’s MAC Tournament, which is second to Central Michigan (8), who returns a lot of talent from last year’s Sweet 16 team.
