For me it was Indy state of Eville, I went InSU.

Had to go with MSU. They lost solid players to graduation and injury. Not a whole lot of star power to speak of. Drake, Indiana St. and Eville still have good experienced guys that can be game changers. Drake (Simons, VanDeest), Indiana St (Odum) and Eville (Ryan).

ISUb easy choice, lost the most and has the least amount of talent coming in. A juco center who couldn't find the floor at JUCO will likely put the suckamores in 10th.

I went with Indy St as well. For me, they are close with UE and MSU at this point, but I feel they are slightly less talented than the other two right now and that was the deciding factor for me.

I could take Drake or Missouri State. I don't have faith in Phelps so I'll go D+.

I used the same philosophy here, except I have Drake higher. '

To me this spot is a toss up between MSU, InSU and Evansville. Since UE and InSU each have one of the best players in the league while MSU does not, MSU gets my vote here.

Teams were so close last year that it's hard to even predict. Other than my top 4 I think it's a crapshoot who finishes 5-10.

I'm going with Indiana State. I actually had them in the 9th place spot between Bradley (8) and SIU(10). Just don't think there is enough with Odum to lift them, I do think Ford at BU will build on defense and find a way to improve from last year, though not enough to move out of Thursday.
