Interesting prediction thread:

Evansville finishing second likely means this is a one bid league with no NIT teams.

Based on what they're returning, do you really think this is that far-fetched of a scenario? Do you really believe UNI finishes second after all of their turnover?

Marty Simmons...that's all that needs to be said.

That can probably be said of every team in the league this year.

Gotta keep voting for the Aces until they're not an option.

I am glad you all have more faith in UE than I do.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Evansville will be either 5th/6th or 2nd. There really isn't any in between. Either Wiley and Mislav play a lot of minutes, play like they appear to be capable of, and give DJ and Mock the support they desperately need. Or those two sit on the bench and we finish at 9-9 like last year. Having those two play most of the minutes will allow Wing to have a 6th man role where I think he would thrive. He would be an outstanding energy guy off the bench who could knock down some threes. Simmons could be valuable playing some minutes here and there off the bench as well.

It all comes down to those four forwards for the Aces. The optimist in me picked us 2nd and picked UNI third.

I selected The ACES third...hoping for second and praying for an MVC Championship.
I agree with Mr. Servo, where The ACES finish will truly depend on the amount of quality minutes, delivered by Mislav, WW, Adam, or Blake.
Don't really think WW or Mislav will actually start many games on the floor.
Additionally, I think it may be quite unfair to place the burden of a successful ACES season on a red-shirted JUCO x-fer, that those of us as ACES fans, have never even watched play in a DI game.

However, I do find it rather humorous or pathetic, that someone in here would actually campaign to spam a pre-season fan poll.
