(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.

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry
Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops
Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi
Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
Fun to listen to @MLBLarry on the @SIU_Basketball/@BelmontMBB game tonight. Good job brother. #FatherHarry
