Whether it's 3rd, 2nd or 1st, you're looking at an ALL MVC Player this coming season right there.

With the likes of Jones, Domask, Brown, Johnson and Newton on the team next year we will have some serious veteran leadership!

We should also add Muila to that list, a 5th year senior.

Madness 144 Preview is at #103 as of today. Hoping Salukis come in well under 100. But I'm no good at this stuff.
March on triumphantly!

Indiana State is ranked at #125 Overall and #4 in the Valley.
That leaves three spots left to rank. I am sure Drake will be preseason favored to be #1 in the Valley.

Total of four Valley teams included in this ranking this year.
Last years top-144 had four Valley teams ranked; Loyola (#49), Drake (#66), Missouri State (#74), and Evansville (#125) plus both Belmont (#34) and Murray State (#67).

Good to see the team and staff having fun together while not on the basketball court!!
Go Dawgs!

Indiana State ranked #4 and that high is pretty wild. Really hard for national guys to rank the Valley though. It's even hard for people that are fans of the Valley to rank the conference with the amount of turnover.
Guessing SIU shows up pretty soon, not that it matters much

Looks like they were fairly accurate with everyone in last years pre-season poll except for Evansville. How in the heck did they have Evansville #125 pre-season!

After Drake, there is no team in the MVC that has both strong recent success and much roster continuity. There are several teams that could rise up and finish anywhere from second to much lower, and I think Indiana State belongs with that group. I like their combination of returnees and newcomers and could see them being one of the league's most improved teams ... they lost a bunch of close games last year and had injury issues, not to mention it having been Schertz's first year.
BTW, not implying Drake is a lock to win the league - just that, on paper, they are a clear preseason favorite.
Madness 144 Preview at #93 today with Utah Valley. (?) That's interesting and a new one for me.
Thinking Salukis show up at #88. Kind of boring in this dead zone before football.
March on triumphantly!
Nice photo gallery of practice. Looks like we have a 7 footer that can jump!!

Difficult to really take anything away from pictures only, but the 2 of the things I noticed (and again it could be nothing) is that Cade looked a lot thicker than I thought he would be and Ebube wasn't focused on (in the picture taking at least). Most importantly, the time is drawing nearer for this team to take the floor for the season and I cannot wait. Even without seeing the schedule, I have this team winning 18-20 games this season.
