COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Nov. 1, 2011 - GoThunderWolves.com) - CSU-Pueblo's men's basketball team is expected to have a tough season, according to RMAC's basketball coaches, as the ThunderWolves were selected to finish 9th this season.

Under new coach, Ralph Turner, the ThunderWolves, which finished 9th in the RMAC last season with an 11-15 record and 8-14 mark in conference play, are expected to fly under the radar.  But the coaches' poll, released each preseason by the RMAC, is certainly not a good indicator of things to come - the teams picked in the poll were practically picked in their exact order of finish from a year ago.

No ThunderWolves were selected as Preseason All-RMAC selections.

The ThunderWolves have one more preseason game, taking place Saturday at Wyoming, before its season begins Nov. 18 at the CSU-Pueblo Al Kaly Classic.
