MVC All-Conference teams announced

[Da Coach]

One award that should be predictable is the 6th man of the Year award. That has always gone to the player who is also designated as the Captain of the All-Bench team. Ja'Shon Henry was the Captain of this year's All-Bench team announced yesterday. So unless their protocol is different this year, Congratulations again to Ja'Shon!

Congratulations to everyone. You deserve it

[The Old Guy]

Congratulations to Coach Wardle, Rienk, Malevy, JaShon and Duke. DeVries may have won the Larry Bird Award, but on Sunday afternoon, he was not the best player or even the best sophomore on the court. Hitting 3 out of 13 shots is not a LarryBird type performance. Good defense triumphed over good offense.

Great news! Now let’s win 3 this weekend! Go Braves

Only disappointment is Connor not getting any award, but I’m sure he was considered.
Next 2 yrs for sure!

I agree. Most years in the past, they have had Honorable Mention All-MVC. Connor and Zek both deserved recognition in some way, other than "Most Improved", IMO.

[ManMythLegend]

Some really deserving awards here. Congrats to all, you've sure made Bradley Nation proud on and off the court. Really special group of young men here and I'd love to see Mast and Ville come back for one more year to see what we can do again. It's an outside chance for either of them but one can hope. First though, let's win it all in St. Louis and make some noise in the big show!
