MBB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[Captain_Joe08]

Preseason Poll dropped today: https://naccsports.org/news/2025/10/25/cuw-edges-msoe-for-top-spot-in-2025-2026-nacc-mens-basketball-preseason-poll.aspx

CUW is atop the poll but the margin between 1st and 3rd was 10 points. WLC isn't far behind in 4th.

[Greek Tragedy]

Looks like a pretty balanced, open League this season. Four teams with at least 4 1st place votes. Huge drop from 4 to 5. And then another big drop between #10 Lakeland and #11 Edgewood.
