Seems like the coaches don't see us as the prohibitive favorite that the media does.

I suspect some of these coaches are eternal optimists and picked their team to win. BSU has about 1% chance of winning the west.

How else do you explain to your team.... i voted but we still ended up with 0 first place votes. At least Lembo shows belief in his squad. He doesn't have to be unbiased.

Lembo is in his 2nd season on Maryland staff, Ball St HC is Mike Neu.
