Primarily a collection of news links about all 11 Missouri Valley League teams on a daily basis, culled from online newspapers, school athletic websites, the conference website, and school newspapers, plus some other content from time to time.
I've got Casey Alexander's team winning out in what could be a terrific
Missouri Valley chase. Belmont returns Tyler Lundblade, who's a threat to
make 50% of his 3-pointers and 95% of his foul shots. Not many better
shooters in the country, regardless of level, than that 6-5 senior. Forward
Sam Orme is also back to support a cast that is on its way to a seventh
straight season of 20-plus wins under Alexander.
96. Northern Iowa
I nearly took Bradley (which is coming off 76 wins in the past three
seasons, its best run since Hersey Hawkins was a national player of the year
at the Missouri Valley school in the late 1980s), but UNI has too much
returning not to give Ben Jacobson's squad the nod. UNI returns, by far, the
highest percentage of its players in the Valley. Watch for senior guard Trey
Campbell to make a push for MVC POY. With Belmont my projected champ, it was
mandatory to get a second MVC team in the top 100. The conference always
squeezes at least two teams into this echelon, if not more.
