(St. Louis, MO) – There were no surprises when the Missouri Valley Conference announced their All-Conference teams today. Some of the all-time greats in MVC history are on the all-conference team. Only one underclassman even made it to the second team.
The ‘Newcomer’, ‘Freshmen’, and ‘Defensive’ teams were all announced this morning. The Larry Bird Player of the Year, and other individual awards will be announced later today.

Wichita State guards Fred VanVleet and Ron Baker are MVC first teamers for the third straight year. They are joined by the nation’s active leading scorer in D. J. Balentine and college basketball’s leading rebounder, Egidijus Mockevicius (both from Evansville) and Southern Illinois’ Anthony Beane who is SIU’s third leading all-time scorer.

Opening round of #ArchMadness is today. The only quarterfinal we know is @UIC_MBB v @RacersHoops tomorrow at 2:30. We look at their contrasting styles heading into the @MVCsports tournament. #FatherHarry
Don't look now, but @BustingBrackets tells us some of the hottest teams coming into #ArchMadness aren't the teams at the top of the bracket. @ValpoBasketball, @SIU_Basketball & @UNImbb shouldn't be overlooked. #FatherHarry
ICYMI: @BelmontMBB & @BradleyUMBB are two of the best at being committed to development and succeeding at the same time. #ArchMadness
Congrats to @RogerPowellJr, @CoachJonny_B & @NdotSmitty being named to the Ben Jobe Award finalist list. Well deserved!
