Who Wins the MVC in 2017-18?

[Rogers101]

The only MVC team in this list at #8...

With Muller's recruitment of Copeland and Clarance. Plus, Yarbrough (A10 Freshman of Year) coming in after a year sitting out due to transfer....as long as McIntosh sticks around, ISUr has to be the favorite now.

Interesting to note...no mention of Valpo, Belmont or Murray St.
Other potential Valley adds:
UTA - 6th
Oakland - 9th
NMSU - 18th

I do like all 3 of the schools you listed. I'd be happy with them as well. New Mexico St just sticks out quite a bit.

1. ISUr - culture started. No big changes. Superior athletes, superior defense. Role players last year are ready to step up, transfers are impact and recruiting is strong. Coaching is good enough. Double plus if they manage to keep MM.

2. Loyola - recruiting plus Custer and Richardson are substantially better than anything UNI can run out in Haldeman or Rhodes or Lohaus etc.

3. UNI - because of coaching, but they are going to get obliterated in the non-con. (Un)Fortunately, since at larges and RPI no longer matter to the Valley, getting uni'd doesn't matter anymore.

4. MSU - with this talent should contend for the title but won't, because of coaching.

5. Bradley - has some upside, could surprise.

6. SIU - Barry. I shall miss thee.

7. Indiana State - feel bad for the Trees.

8. Evansville - Getting Evansvilled doesn't matter anymore.

9. Drake - Hopefully improvement is on the way.

Rousseau is returning to the Bears next season. This is great news! This team should stack up well vs everyone. I think they will be preseason favorites.

If Lusk can learn how to utilize the talent on that team, there's no reason the Bears shouldn't be right there with ISUr and Loyola, or even a step ahead.

We added a grad transfer as well from Howard. I think there should be enough talent up and down roster that HOPEFULLY he can't screw it up. We'll see..

Evansville - Getting Evansvilled doesn't matter anymore.

Getting beaned before a game won't happen either!

Seems a bit disrespectful to your alum to repeatedly use his tragedy as your sword on here, especially in jest, but to each his own.

[UEACES80]

What you see as disrespect - I see as pride that a savage assault occurred to a UE athlete and the other University was basically cold hearted and not ashamed.

I'll hang that hat you mentioned on UE defeating WSU twice in the season that WSU made an unlikely trip to the Final Four.

Go away WSU - I have no other hard feelings towards any other MVC members.

So I heard from the WSU announcers during a WSU baseball game that there is rumors of another MVC team looking to leave the conference. They wouldn't say who, but just there was a lot talk in their circles.

Speculation, but would that be why they are targeting 2 teams?
