8.) Isaiah Swope – Indiana State

FPTS/G: 32.0

The 2022-23 All-OVC First Team selection has helped the Sycamores to an 11-1 start as the team’s leading-scorer averaging 19 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 2 APG, 2 STLPG, while shooting 44% from three-point range. While Indiana State opened the season with a loss to Alabama, Swope and Co. haven’t looked back now pushing a nine game win streak that’s just seen victories over Bradley, Ball State, and Tennessee State on Monday.

For Swope, his career-year on the offensive end is best highlighted by his 21 points to led a comeback win over Pepperdine, dropping 26 points to defeat Toledo, and a 27-point, 10-rebound double-double over Northern Illinois.
