The Mid-American Conference released its preseason polls regarding men’s basketball on Thursday morning, naming the Bowling Green Falcons and Toledo Rockets as the favorites to win their respective divisions.
The Falcons were declared the favorites to win in the MAC East, and are in great position to do so, with four starters and 10 letterwinners from last season’s MAC Tournament runner-up squad returning to the action in 2019. The Falcons placed their starting backcourt in Dylan Frye and Justin Turner on the preseason all-MAC East team, and have one of the most experienced head coaches in the MAC in Michael Huger at the helm for his fifth year.
