No talent at Wichita State this year, no one picked from WSU in the preseason all conference team.
I think that a third place finish is a little high for the Shockers.
ST. LOUIS – Missouri State, which returns a dominating young pitching staff and a wealth of depth from last year's squad, has been tabbed as the league favorite in the annual coaches' preseason poll, receiving five of eight first-place votes.
The Bears tallied 60 points and were a close favorite over second-place pick Creighton (53 points). Wichita State (47 points) was picked to finish in the third position.
Indiana State was selected in fourth place with 37 points, followed by Illinois State in fifth (34) and Southern Illinois in the sixth slot (31). Bradley (15) and Evansville (11) round out the final two positions in the poll.
