    Nice to see us up in 3rd. I thought we might be picked 4th. I also thought Kwadzo would be preseason POY.

    Also, UNI women picked 2nd in the league following their first MVC tournament championship last year. Boeck and Kalin picked as first team all MVC.

      Southern Ill. picked for 9th? If that happens, there will be a lot of unhappy people in Carbondale wanting their money back from the coach!

        Just curious, who votes for the preseason poll? Is it coaches and league representatives or something?
        To avoid confusion - my username is baseball (Cy Young award) related, NOT for the Cyclones.

              I believe that it's the head coach, AD and local beat sports writer for each team.

                Huge opportunity for WSU to make a statement for the MVC at the Maui Invitational.

                WSU plays UConn in the opener, with the winner getting Michigan State.
