2018 Outlook

Preseason Prediction: 8th

The Mules have missed out on the Centennial playoffs the last three seasons, equaling the longest skein for the program in the CC era (2003-05). But a new day is dawning in Allentown under Hopkins, who welcomes back a pair of starters and three other seniors for year one. Rindock has been an All-CC honoree and looks to return to that form after averaging 7.7 points and 3.5 rebounds last winter. Werheim began to show what he is capable of with 7.4 points and 3.9 rebounds per outing. Baez can be a difference-maker inside, while McLeod, Gnias and Long will make an impact in the backcourt. Under new leadership, Muhlenberg could be one of the surprise teams in the Centennial this season.
