MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee has been picked as the preseason favorite in C-USA in a vote of league coaches as announced by the conference office Friday.
The Lady Raiders received six of a possible 14 votes and edged WKU, which was second. Louisiana Tech, Charlotte and Rice rounded out the top five, respectively.
Middle Tennessee, which garnered votes in the USA Today Preseason Coaches Poll, has been the preseason favorite to win its conference in 10 of Rick Insell's 13 years as head coach.
"I would just as soon be picked to win the conference as not to win it," Insell said.
