(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.

Three more road wins so far in @ValleyHoops as @BradleyUMBB @BelmontMBB & @UIC_MBB capture road wins. Looks like @DrakeBulldogsMB will do so too. #FatherHarry
Well @RacersWBB followed the men's example and swept Iowa in the @ValleyHoops race! Racers are 6-1 & if @BelmontWBB holds on to their Iowa sweep, the Bruins and Racers will be tied for first. What a trip for those two teams! #FatherHarry
After today's action, @EIUWBB is 8-0 in @OVCSports play. 4 teams @usiwbb @TTUWBB @LRTrojans @LindenwoodWBB are tied at 6-2. Six other teams are under .500. Great race to the finish lies ahead. #FatherHarry
Really entertaining game between @BelmontMBB & @UEAthletics_MBB. Under four minutes left in a one point game. Gabriel Pozzato back in the Aces' lineup. Rogers is playing like I've expected. Triples are dropping. It's fun and @kylejpeach bringing it on #ThePlus #FatherHarry
