To work on for next year...

Re: To work on for next year...

I would expect us to be picked either 2nd or 3rd preseason. We are going to be awfully good again.

We were talking about this last night... our thoughts are that CU, UNI, DU, ISU, and ui will all be very experienced and talented teams next year. The BIG-4 would have been fun.

We predict CU as #1 with UNI and DU in the top 4 preseason MVC.

Illinois State has NO seniors on their roster. They win today and they probably jump Creighton for pre-season #1 next year with the Jays 2nd. I think that Creighton will miss Young a lot next year. Then there is a whole cluster of teams that don't lose much: UNI and Drake lose only 1 player and have a bunch who sat out this year, Indiana State and Evansville lose a few players but if either get some post players-they'll be real tough, Missouri State and Wichita State graduate a lot but still have talent around, Bradley can only get better, Southern is the team that will really have to rebuild-no idea what will happen with any players currently there even.

We will be better, but so will the majority of the league. It won't be any easier next year, but I think we will hold our own.

Bohannon, Olivier are critical next year.

-We absolutely need someone else to be able to play down low. (Olivier)
-We need a sharpshooter, hopefully Bohannon can be that guy. Sure, this year and next we will have a lot of guys capable of making a decent amount of 3's when open but we need that 1 shooter that changes things.

Re: To work on for next year...

My preseason guess is-
1-Creighton
2-UNI
3-Illinois State
4-Wichita State (if Marshall stays, if he goes they will be much lower)
5-Drake
6-Indiana State
7-Evansville
8-Missouri State
9-Bradley
10-Southern Illinois

Re: To work on for next year...

Who here thinks UNI will improve a lot next year if the exact same team came back with no new blood?

Speak up....so I can laugh at you

Laugh away oh wise one.

Re: To work on for next year...

I think it's going to be important for Deon to work on a pull up jumper from 15 feet over the summer. Kwadzo was so much tougher to guard once he added that to his game and I think the same would hold true for Deon. We are only losing Johnny on the perimeter and I'm wondering if there will be enough minutes for both Bohannon and Lyle next year???

I think CU and Ill St. are the preseason favorites for next year. Ill St. will be very good due to their inside play and reminds me of our team a couple years ago with Jordan and A. Koch when they were coming back as seniors.

I agree as long as you add in MSU at 8

Re: To work on for next year...

Obviously Evansville is our only disagreement. Colt Ryan is great, but he is going to miss Denver Holmes immensely, he benefitted from a true second option. Evansville's ascension went hand in hand with Holmes emergence during Valley play.
