Now that we're 9 days until the first exhibition game, let's get some Valley predictions on the table:
1. Drake
2. SIU
3. UNI
4. Loyola
5. MSU
6. Evansville
7. Valpo
8. Bradley
9. Illinois State
10. Indy State
POY: Roman Penn (Domask runner up)
NOY: Ben Coupet
The top of the Valley is stacked this year, but I think Drake is the team to beat as Krutwig was irreplaceable. UNI and Missouri State will also contend, but this is the year we've been waiting for: Domask and Jones as upperclassmen, and they're finally paired down low with Muila and a seasoned Filewich. Toss in Ben Coupet, and I think this team can be up there at the top of the standings.
