Who will be named 2015-16 MVC Freshman of the Year?

[valleychamp]

I absolutely agree the MVC needs more teams on the 4-year plan. And no one has said UNI hasn't been successful the last 10-15 years.

But we also need another team or two that isn't on the 4-year plan, if we're ever going to get to consistently having 2-3 teams in the NCAA tourney again.

The Valley hasn't been a 1 bid league since 2011.

The Valley hasn't been a 1 bid league since 2011.

Except for when it was in 2014.

And the 2nd team in 2012 and 2013 is no longer a Valley team.

So, in 1 out of the last 9 years, 2 current Valley teams have made the tournament.

Even if you include Creighton, we still just get to 3/8 or 4/9.

Please note my intent is not to blame this on UNI.

Thanks for taking the kid to school.

Shox game had 66 fouls called and 71 FT's shot. If games keep getting called that way, WSU will dominate FoY voting.

Shamet is looking like a more athletic and quicker version of Baker. Hamilton will remind many of Early, except he's a little more into beast mode than Early was. Taylor struggled running the offense, which isn't surprising for a Fr in game 1, but he hits shots and looks like he belongs on the court.

All votes for a Wichita State player will be nullified, though they combined for 38 points, 16 boards and 1 turnover tonight. It is necessary to give others around the league hope for the future.

Bradley will be playing freshmen 90% of the time. Not saying one of them will win it but very few freshmen will play more minutes than Dwayne Lautier-Ogunyele, Callum Barker, Luuk van Bree and Joel Okafor.

Roland Griffin looked pretty good tonight, might be a starter sooner than later this year

Came of the bench as the 6th man & he sure didn't play like a freshman against a tough Aztec team

How does a guy "play like a freshman"? I've never understood this phrase.

[Ricardo del Rio]

The winner will be one of the following:

Taylor
Hamilton
McDuffie
Shamet

Probably Shamet
