The Musketeers didn't get any players on the preseason all-conference team either, which might be a problem if preseason polls and all-conference teams meant anything in the grander scheme of the actual season.
Sophomore Aaliyah Dunham and junior Na’Teshia Owens chose to be motivated, not upset.
“You definitely just kind of look at it and if you’re ranked the lowest you use it as motivation,” said Dunham, who made the All-Big East freshman team last season.
