Only twice unanimous picks in last 25 years

[shock]

Two weeks ago, I would have squawked at Odum being the best pg, but after that article about him, I can't help but like the kid. That level if talent and he just wants to ball out at home.

Since when do basketball teams have seven players? Must have been ties in the voting because otherwise, putting seven guys on an honors team (preseason, postseason, or otherwise) is dumb.

Well it's in the third sentence from the very bottom of the entire article, but apparently the MVC DOES know who Tekele is. 'Bout time.

Since WSU got two on the first team, they needed five more for the rest of the league.

I'm pretty sure there must have been a 3 way tie for the fifth spot, because it is also odd that they only have 3 listed as honorable mention.

Had to do some research on this but do you guys know who the only two other Shockers to be on an MVC Preseason All Conference Team was since 2005-06 season?

Guess away

PJ Cousinard and Toure Murry?

That was a fun game while it lasted.

LOVE these guys. Just fantastic young men. Best of all, they are Shockers!

Amazing how that speech by AC and X about playing angry has carried over and they're still using it as a mantra. Good to hear that from Cle.

The media - even nationally - is showing lots of love for Baker, and that's only going to grow.

Q: If you could spend a day with any one person who would it be?
A: My grandmother isn't doing real well, so it would be her.

Q: Do you have any pre-game ritual you go through?
A: I call my Mom, and we don't talk about basketball.

There's going to be a lot of people wanting to get interviews with Ron in the next few years.
