MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Growing up on Tobacco Road, there's still nothing that gets me excited quite like the return of college basketball. And with the release of the preseason polls in Conference USA this past week, tipoffs in the Glass House will be here before you know it!
The standard for the Lady Raiders, as always, are sky high in 2023-24, with MTSU picked as the unanimous favorite to finish atop the Conference USA standings at season's end, with Savannah Wheeler also earning preseason CUSA Player of the Year honors. The Blue Raiders, however, will also enter 2023 with great expectations, being picked as co-favorites with Liberty in the preseason poll released this week out of the CUSA office.
