Highly Ranked Truman Men Not Favored In GLVC Central

Even though the Truman men’s basketball team was ranked 6th in the national preseason poll this week, the Bulldogs didn’t get the top spot in the GLVC Central division preseason vote. The Bulldogs received two first place votes, while Missouri-St. Louis picked up three and edged them by a point. The rest of the Central preseason vote put Lindenwood third, Quincy fourth, and Maryville fifth. Southern Indiana was the pick to win the East and Drury topped the vote in the West.
