2000-01 PRESEASON MEN'S BASKETBALL POLL
ROCK ISLAND, Illinois - The Carthage Redmen won the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin championship last year in convincing fashion with an 11-3 league record, finishing one game ahead of Wheaton's 10-4 mark. Veteran head coach Bosko Djurickovic's team is the odds on favorite to repeat that title, according to a pre-season vote of league coaches. Carthage picked up all seven of the first place votes available (coaches can't vote for their own teams) and rolled up 49 points. Long time CCIW power Illinois Wesleyan was selected to finish second with 43 points and the lone first place vote not garnered by Carthage. Wheaton, which stayed in the race until the bitter end a year ago, finished with 36 points in third place.
Augustana was tabbed for fourth with 29 while North Park had 21 points in fifth. Elmhurst was selected sixth with 20 points, Millikin got 18 points in seventh and North Central was eighth with eight points.
