(St. Louis, MO) – Two Missouri Valley Conference players have been nominated to the Lute Olson preseason All-America team. Wichita State’s Cleanthony Early and Indiana State’s Jake Odum are two of 22 players up for the honor that goes to the nation’s top Division 1 players who have played at least two seasons at their current school.
Early and Odum have both been named to every preseason all MVC teams and are both seniors. Former MVC member, Creighton University, to no one’s surprise has a nominee to the team in Doug McDermott. CollegeInsider.com promotes both this and the Lou Henson All-America team which honors the best players from mid-major programs. No other MVC players were named to that team.
Lute Olson coached 34 seasons, including 24 at Arizona where his teams participated in 23 consecutive NCAA Tournaments.
