(St. Louis, MO) – Wichita State begins the basketball season right where it left off last season, in the upper levels
of the national rankings! The Shockers begin the season ranked 16th in the USA Today Sports Coaches’ Poll. Gregg Marshall’s team finished the season last year in the Final Four.
Kentucky begins the season at number one. While the Shockers are the only Missouri Valley Conference team in the top 25, there is also only one team from the ‘new and improved’ Big East Conference and it is NOT former Valley member Creighton. It is Marquette who comes in one spot behind Wichita State.
Creighton and St. Louis University are teams listed as ‘on the cusp’ by USA Today.

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
