🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER
Answer: The Roadrunners baseball team was picked to finish third in the program’s first season in the American Athletic Conference.
Ahead of UTSA in this year’s AAC Preseason Coaches’ Poll, East Carolina took the top spot. Charlotte, who made the move to the AAC with UTSA this year and won last year’s C-USA Tournament, earned second place.
Following UTSA were Florida Atlantic, South Florida, Memphis, Wichita State, Rice, Tulane, and UAB took the fourth-10th spots, respectively.
🤙🏼 Have a great Friday, y’all!
