Huskies Ranked 13th In Mid-Major Poll

The Huskies were once again featured in the Mid-Major poll. This preseason poll has the Huskies at 13th. It's great to be mentioned, but 13th is a bit shocking. Old Dominion is ranked 6th in the poll, which is understandable. But the Huskies are ranked behind CAA rivals George Mason(12th) and VCU(11th). The Huskies defeated George Mason at home, and lost on the road without Manny Adako who was ill and only played limited minutes in the second half. George Mason lost Dre Smith, Darryl Monroe, and John Vaughan. Only playing once last year, the Huskies defeated VCU down in Richmond. VCU had Eric Maynor, for those who don't remember, and now they are "Maynor-less". Apparently people don't remember, even though it was on ESPNU. Possibly the most puzzling ranking is Wright State at #9. That was an ESPN2 game in which the Huskies defeated Wright State in Dayton. Just a reminder, the Huskies return 4 starters including the three-headed monster of Janning, Allen and Adako. But folks, that is why it is the preseason. The Huskies first opponent, Siena, is ranked 3rd in the poll and received 1 first place vote.
