(Chicago, IL) – To no one’s surprise, the Wichita State Shockers were named the favorite to win this year’s Missouri Valley Conference regular season title. The Shockers went to the Final Four and won 30 games last season and seem to be loaded with talent.
Indiana State was picked second, followed by Northern Iowa. The Sycamores return four starters from a year ago, including all conference pick Jake Odum. UNI has won at least 20 games in the last five consecutive seasons.
Missouri State’s super-sophomores were picked to finish fourth followed by Bradley. The Bears return a host of sophomores led by all conference pick Marcus Marshall while Bradley has a senior star in Walt Lemon Junior.
Rounding out the polling finds Evansville at six followed by Illinois State, Southern Illinois, newcomer Loyola and Drake.
We will release the pre-season all conference team later today.

.@SEMOMBB wins at home and is 2-0, tied with @MSUEaglesMBB atop the @OVCSports. Our prayers are with the @LRTrojans after the death of one of their managers Josh Claxton. Their game with EIU was postponed today.
Good officiating in the @SEMOMBB/@SIUEMBB in a little late game dust up.
BTW, @LindenwoodWBB is 2-0. @CoachAmyEagan has that program headed the right direction.
With @SkyhawkHoops winning on the road and @LUMensBball winning at home, right now, 5 @OVCSports teams are 1-1.
