That was a good article. WSU is definitely on the map because of this bunch. Hopefully it stays there.

I always thought Norlander truly understood how great Marshall's program is and this article really cements that thought. That was well written and an article I'll put in the ol' archive to pull out on occasion when ever I need to reminisce.

WICHITA, Kan. –Wichita State's Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet were named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches' (NABC) All-District 16 first team, and Gregg Marshall was tabbed district Coach of the Year, Friday afternoon.

District 16 consists of the 10 Missouri Valley Conference schools, and this year's NABC District 16 first team mirrored the All-MVC picks from earlier this month. Southern Illinois' Anthony Beane and Evansville's Egidijus Mockevicius and D.J. Balentine rounded out the top-five.

Marshall earned COY status for the fourth time in five seasons after leading the Shockers to a 16-2 MVC finish – four games ahead of the next closest competition. WSU (26-9) also advanced to the NCAA Tournament's Round of 32 for the fourth-consecutive year.

Baker and VanVleet -- both seniors and both third-time selection to the first team -- were keys to a Shocker defense that allowed fewer points than any on team in the nation (59.0 per game), ranked second nationally in turnover margin (+5.6) and set a new school record for field goal percentage defense (.387).

Baker led WSU in both scoring (14.0) and rebounding (4.8), while VanVleet (12.0 points, 5.6 assists) finished his career as WSU's all-time leader in steals (225), assists (637) and assist-to-turnover ratio (3.08).

Since 2010, WSU has landed 15 players on the All-District 16 teams, with 10 of those earning first-team status.

Gregg not good enough for MVC COY but is for District 16 COY. The MVC should change their name to Most Improved COY. Lol

My thoughts exactly as I was reading this.

I think one difference is this award is voted on by the coaches themselves. The MVC award also includes various beat writers who at least one was proven to have some personal agenda in his voting. Interesting the 1st team players were the same though, I thought maybe Waspun from UNI might get on there.

We only made the list once, but another team North of us, made it twice. Actually, we didn't make the list, we caused someone to make the list.
