In a surprise reversal, everyone BUT Muller votes ISUr first this year.


Now that's funny. I like it.

My picks:

WSU
ISUr
UNI
UE
Loyola
ISUb
Drake
MSU
SIU
BU

The top 6 all have some upside. The bottom four are awful, just awful, embarrassingly awful. Drake and MSU should easily be picked 9th and 10th, but they're not. All that said, MSU and Drake do have a little upside and one of them might even squeak out of playing Thursday night in St Louis. BU and SIU fans only hope is that they can win two against the other 9th place contender.

Shox
Birds
Panthers
Aces
Ramblers
Bulldogs
Sycamores
Bears
Salukis
Braves/Gargoyles

Hoping we pick up another scorer. I believe if he can stay healthy DAP can compete for POY and also see an increase in scoring for PLee. Reggie really needs to stay out of foul trouble and gain some basketball IQ if we want to be successful this year. Because in the frontcourt, I believe Ndiaye is going to need a year or two before he'll be a Valley player. Expect Hawkins and McIntosh to grow maturely and be able to score with some consistency.

I don't have any problem with ISUr being slotted 2nd heading into next year. Not based on they finished this year, but based on what they have returning. Using that same rationale, I would move UE to 3rd place as well.

As for UNI, I see this as being similar to two years ago when we graduated Sonnen, James, and Jake Koch. It's not as much about replacing the stats as it is replacing the leadership. There are two big differences though; a) We return a lot of experience in the backcourt b) I don't see Jake trying to change the system again for a while.

I would say a 4th place prediction for UNI is fair.

Probably about the time the rules committee decides to emphasize freedom of movement and not calling charges again.

I think the biggest question coming into the 2015-16 season is "How much improvement will Illinois State bring?" I suspect a slow start as the team sorts through leadership roles that will build to a crescendo at season's end. All of our alma maters/teams, especially the top half, must take care of the non-conference schedule to ensure at least 3 Valley teams are dancing.

Go Valley!

UNI just moved squarely into the 2 spot with Reggie leaving...
