(Chicago, IL) – To no one’s surprise, the Wichita State Shockers were named the favorite to win this year’s Missouri Valley Conference regular season title. The Shockers went to the Final Four and won 30 games last season and seem to be loaded with talent.
Indiana State was picked second, followed by Northern Iowa. The Sycamores return four starters from a year ago, including all conference pick Jake Odum. UNI has won at least 20 games in the last five consecutive seasons.
Missouri State’s super-sophomores were picked to finish fourth followed by Bradley. The Bears return a host of sophomores led by all conference pick Marcus Marshall while Bradley has a senior star in Walt Lemon Junior.
Rounding out the polling finds Evansville at six followed by Illinois State, Southern Illinois, newcomer Loyola and Drake.
We will release the pre-season all conference team later today.
