Missouri State writer previews the 2014-2015 MVC

[tornado]

and surprisingly he picks Wichita State to win next year .. and Bradley 9th!

one note - 70% of the scoring & rebounding in the MVC came from guys who RETURN in 2014-15!
Unfortunately Bradley is the exception here - as we return only between 40 and 50% even if everyone who is still here returns - and that's unlikely.

The guy also calls BU's scheduling "abysmal" (his word, not mine so don't go after me)

I think this a pretty fair assessment. I think Bradley and Drake are interchangeable in the 9-10 spots. Just depends on how things play out.

how do people think the fans, in general, will feel about being picked 9th or about actually finishing 9th ?

Think I'll wait until next season to see how Geno and his recruits do to worry about the program's future. Good luck Geno.

Everyone knows we will be a Thursday nite again.

Everyone knows we will be a Thursday nite again.

I don't think anyone knows anything at this point. We don't know the recruits/transfers that may or may not come in. We don't know the improvement that players will make over the summer. We don't know the health of our team let alone the opponents. I don't understand all of the negative energy regarding next year already. We may be worse, but until everything shakes out we have no clue. There are a lot of variables that have not been determined, and won't be determined. Speculating on next year, and being negative about the program is pointless.

I think everyone knows that, right now not knowing who is coming and going for sure, we are the favorites to end up on Thursday night. Just like predicting the weather 3 months out, prognostication can be tricky. I don't hold any hopes right now to finish 1-3, but we will see come the start of the school year. It is foolish to worry about that now, I would rather worry about who will transfer out and who will commit to come.

I'm with you here

What did I say was wrong? What was our SoS? We played bad basketball. Look at who we got beat by at home.

I just state the facts some people don't want to hear the facts.

Not sure what facts your speaking of in your constantly running down next years team. It's not crazy to think you would be right if we go into next year with what we have coming back and the 2 signed recruits. But it's crazy to think that will happen. It would make a lot more sense to me to wait and see what happens with people leaving and who we may sign than to express gloom and doom today. Don't get your motive or maybe I do.

Being picked 9th, once again, is a fair assessment. Especially as of right now. If we actually do finish in 9th? Fire up the search committee.

Why wait?

Herein lies part of the problem. It would be a committee of one.
