New Mexico State basketball has a new look.
Not only is nearly the entire roster and coaching staff new, including new head coach Greg Heiar, but so, too, is their position in the Western Athletic Conference’s preseason poll.
The perennial preseason favorites in the WAC, with good reason since they’ve won the league regularly over the past eight years (six regular season outright or shared championships), were picked Monday at No. 2 in the WAC’s preseason coaches and media polls.
The Aggies received three of a possible 13 first-place votes in the coaches poll and 127 points, eight behind preseason favorite Grand Canyon, which garnered eight first-place votes.
