Basketball Cats picked 6th/8th in SoCon Polls

The Catamounts were picked to finish in 6th place by the SoCon media and in 8th place by the SoCon coaches in polls released today by the conference office. Hopefully this lack of respect by the coaches and media for this team will be a real motivator in the upcoming season.
