MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee senior standout Alex Johnson has been selected to the 2018-19 C-USA Women's Basketball Preseason Team as announced by the league office Wednesday.
Johnson is Middle Tennessee's only representative on the eight-person team as selected by C-USA's head coaches.
Middle Tennessee was picked to finish third in a preseason vote of the league's head coaches. Defending regular-season champion UAB was picked to repeat with eight first-place votes, and Rice was tabbed second with five first-place votes. The Lady Raiders picked up the remaining first-place vote.
Based on the preseason all-conference team and preseason poll it is evident coaches expect another tightly-contested race for the regular-season crown, and they expect the league's veterans to be the impact players as seven of the eight were all-conference performers last season.
