Here is a great article from the SIU beat writer Todd Hefferman about the upcoming MVC season, and he reveals his ballot-

He picks Bradley 2nd behind Missouri State, and he picks two Bradley players for his 1st team All-MVC- Darrell Brown, Jr. and Elijah Childs!

Here were the Evansville beat writer's (Chad Lindeskog) picks. He also picked Bradley 2nd-

Indiana State beat writer Todd Golden:

"MVC picks: 1. MSU, 2. BU, 3. UNI, 4. LU, 5. DU, 6. ISU, 7. UE, 8. ILS, 9. SIU, 10. VU

Understand that spots 1-8 are volatile. Splits into “prove it again” (MSU, BU, DU), “prove you can” (UNI, ISU, UE), “maintain with the unproven” (LU, ILS). SIU & VU won’t be non-factors either."

I think EC and Liberty are going to make a strong push for that 1st team.

Did anyone else notice that one person picked Illinois State to win the MVC this season? Is Dan Muller now allowed to vote for his own team?
