Utah Valley University’s men’s basketball team has been picked to finish fifth in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) preseason coaches’ poll. The announcement was made on Wednesday, with the team receiving 38 points in the poll.
The Utah Valley Wolverines, who had a strong showing in the conference last season, are looking to build on their success this year. Head coach Mark Madsen expressed his excitement for the upcoming season and the team’s potential. He believes that they have a talented group of players who are ready to compete at a high level in the WAC.
The Wolverines will be led by senior forward Fardaws Aimaq, who was named to the preseason All-WAC first team. Aimaq is coming off a stellar season where he led the nation in rebounding, averaging 15.0 rebounds per game.

While being picked fifth in the preseason poll may be seen as a challenge, the Wolverines are determined to prove themselves and exceed expectations. They will face tough competition in the WAC, but coach Madsen is confident in his team’s ability to rise to the occasion and make a mark in the conference.
