Lindy's is now out on newsstands as as always - not much to say about the MVC - barely more than there is about far smaller conferences..

BUT in case you can't get one here's everything you might need to know - ask if you have any ?'s

Here's how Lindy's picks the MVC:
1 Wichita State
2 Indiana State
3 UNI
4 Missouri State
5 Bradley
6 Loyola
7 ISU
8 Drake
9 Evansville
10 SIU

Walt Lemon, Jr. is 1st Team All Conference along with SIU's Desmar Jackson, Cleanthony Early, Jake Odum, & UNI's Seth Tuttle.
They also have "TYSON PICKETT" on the 2nd Team All Conference

Milton Doyle, Loyola is Newcomer of the Year
Player of the Year is Cleanthony Early
Walt Lemon, Jr. is picked as Best Defender

Although I would to see them finish higher, it is about where I would place Bradley. I'm surprised that Loyola is that high in the ranking.

Lindy's and USAToday both have Hersey's son Corey Hawkins as the preseason Player of the Year in the Big West
