MVC & OVC Teams Make Appearances
(St. Louis, MO) – College Insider has released its season-opening poll of mid-major basketball programs. Missouri Valley and Ohio Valley Conference teams make many appearances. Two from the Missouri Valley rank in the top ten.
Valley favorite Bradley begins the season fourth in the mid-major top 25 poll and Northern Iowa is seventh. Little Rock, the Ohio Valley favorite is ranked 23rd.
Three other MVC teams are in the ‘receiving votes’ category. Murray State (Tied 41st), Drake (Tied 46th) and Indiana State (Tied 52nd) have been so honored.
Traditional mid-major power Gonzaga is the poll’s top ranked team. Second ranked Grand Canyon is coached by former Valparaiso great Bryce Drew.

I haven't heard, nor do I know, how does this apply to the typical 'foreign' basketball player that is most often over 19?
Obviously, this is a sentimental and not a ‘spreadsheet’ notion, but would hate to see @MVCsports change the #ArchMadness format from the traditional ‘family reunion’ feel by cutting teams from the experience. #FatherHarry
Another nice @MVCsports basketball schedule announcement. #FatherHarry . .
Congrats to @ISURedbirdGolf. T.J. Barger sets a school record. Pietro Pontiggia records the Redbirds' second-ever top 20 finish at a regional. The team finishes tent in the region which is tied for the program's best regional finish! #FatherHarry
