Dunkin’ Dogs and Lady Techsters Set to Speak at C-USA Media Day
Believe it or not, college basketball season is just 22 days away! Both the Dunkin’ Dogs (at Nevada) and the Lady Techsters (at Arkansas) are set to tip off their 2025–26 campaigns on November 4th.
With the season fast approaching, both programs will be featured at the Conference USA Basketball Tipoff Show this Tuesday.
Representing the Lady Techsters will be head coach Brooke Stoehr and guard Paris Bradley, while head coach Talvin Hester and forward Kaden Cooper will speak on behalf of the Dunkin’ Dogs.
Below is a quick look at the preseason polls for both the men’s and women’s teams across Conference USA.
Conference USA Men’s Basketball Preseason Poll
Louisiana Tech was projected to finish fifth in the Conference USA preseason poll, coming in behind Liberty, Kennesaw State, New Mexico State, and Middle Tennessee.
Junior forward Kaden Cooper earned a spot on the Preseason All-Conference Team after posting 9.3 points and 7.8 rebounds per game during an impressive sophomore campaign.
Conference USA Women’s Basketball Preseason Poll
Following an 18-win season and a deep run to the Great 8 of the WNIT, the Lady Techsters have been picked as the preseason favorite to win Conference USA in 2025–26.
Paris Bradley was named the Preseason Conference USA Player of the Year after an outstanding freshman campaign in which she averaged 14.4 points and 3.0 assists per game. Bradley recorded eight 20-point performances — the most by a Lady Techster in a single season since 1978–79.
