2025-26 Previews

It's time for the 2025-26 previews to start coming out.... The thorough previews in the magazines like SI, Athlon, etc
won't be out 'til September but here's one from a blogger who picks Bradley to finish fourth this upcoming season in the MVC.
(note that one of the replies speculates on Ahmet Jonovic being the MVC Player of the Year)

I would look forward to Street & Smith basketball magazine to come out every year around October. However, I have not seen it in years. I dont know if they even print anymore

I likewise used to enjoy their yearly preview, but some time about 10 years ago, their parent company merged the Street and Smith College Basketball Preview with The Sporting News publications.
They did still produce an NBA preview under the name "Street and Smith" but I haven't seen a CBB preview issue in a decade.

This same blogger today ranks Northern Iowa (3rd in the MVC) just above Bradley -

- so who do you think he has at 1st & 2nd ahead of UNI & Bradley?
...just speculating, but prob ISU and either Drake, Belmont or Murray State?

and he has the 17th place ACC team (BC) ahead of both UNI & Bradley.
Seriously? P-5 privilege...

(also- when the guy lists Bradley's players, he denotes that Timoty van der Knaap redshirted 2024-25)


ONE MORE THING- the College Sports Madness preseason TOP 144 preview/ranking has started - LINK
They are already at #128 in their countdown, but from 144 to 128, there aren't any MVC teams listed yet
