Make fun of ISUr and dandy Dan again? I really want to make a meme thread.

I suspect they will be ranked preseason 1 or 2 in the MVC.

They lose 3 players, with Purcell being the most notable at 14.1 Pts, 4.9 Reb, 1.9 Ast.

Of course the 3 departing seniors do not include any off court or team chemistry departures. ISUr doesn't seem to make discipline too much of a priority so why expect any departures other than the 3 graduating.

Remember Reggie Lynch transferred out last year in a bit of a surprise.

That sucks for ISUr and the Valley but as dysfunctional as things have been I would be surprised if anyone else left. Especially Hawkins given that he has no real options, any further defections are slim. IMO. Heck, I don't know anything other than watching MVC basketball since the early 80's but you are correct, if he can leave, so can anyone else. Imagine had they had him this season?

There's never a wrong time to make fun of that program.

I believe the last time WSU wasn't picked to win the Valley was 2013. I'm ok with that.
I believe the last time Illinois State was picked to win the Valley they crapped on their face and finished 5th or 6th.

Go ahead and lay this one up for Illinois State. It would be perfect.

Wichita state & Northern Iowa should both bounce to a basketball conference

This is a basketball conference. These are some of the best non-football schools out there. That is the problem.

Tell Kelly to rebound and kick back out to a guard to reset next time...
