Denver, Colo. - The Mountain West Conference released its preseason media poll and all-conference team today at Basketball Media Day being held at the Denver Marriott City Center.
The league media selected Wyoming to win the Mountain West Conference men's basketball title, claiming 25 of a possible 29 first place votes. Utah was picked second, garnering four first-place votes, followed by New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, BYU, Colorado State and Air Force.
Individually, Britton Johnsen was named to the preseason all-MWC team. He was joined by Marcus Bailey (G, Jr.) and Josh Davis (F, Sr.) of Wyoming, Ruben Rouglas (G, Jr.) of New Mexico and Randy Holcomb (F, Sr.) on San Diego State. Davis was named the Top Returning Player.
Johnsen was a second team all-MWC selection last year after returning from a two-year LDS Church mission. He scored in double figures 14 times and ranked 13th in the conference in rebounding (5.4 rpg).
