(St. Louis, MO) – Wichita State begins the basketball season right where it left off last season, in the upper levels
of the national rankings! The Shockers begin the season ranked 16th in the USA Today Sports Coaches’ Poll. Gregg Marshall’s team finished the season last year in the Final Four.
Kentucky begins the season at number one. While the Shockers are the only Missouri Valley Conference team in the top 25, there is also only one team from the ‘new and improved’ Big East Conference and it is NOT former Valley member Creighton. It is Marquette who comes in one spot behind Wichita State.
Creighton and St. Louis University are teams listed as ‘on the cusp’ by USA Today.

Caleb Stone-Carrawell is in the portal. @SaintLouisMBB or some @ValleyHoops team ought to get this guy.
.@BustingBrackets gives a brief intro to the 5 new @ValleyHoops head coaches.
I don't blame players for leaving, but this wild fluctuation is going to kill fan interest. When the TV people's ratings go down and the attendance figures keep falling, maybe the 'Suits' will wake up and fix this.
I think I'm going to enter the portal.
