Great comment and he must be a pretty darn good coach to have been retained for 13 years.

"MVC Missouri Valley Conference 2016-17 preview" - U Sports

"Recap of the 2015-16 Missouri Valley Conference season
The Missouri Valley experienced one of its most successful seasons as a conference in 2015-‘16. Half of the teams in the league won 11 out of 18 conference games, with Wichita State leading the way with a 16-2 record.
While the Shockers won the regular season title, they were upstaged in the semifinals of the conference tournament by the UNI Panthers. The Panthers won the league’s automatic-bid. However, with the loss in the semis, Wichita State was very much considered on bubble for an at-large bid. The Shockers received an 11-seed. With that, the Missouri Valley had two teams who made noise in the NCAA tournament...."
Preseason conference order prediction
1. Wichita State: Typically when a team loses two quality players like Baker and VanVleet, one would assume the Shockers would take a dip. However, head coach Gregg Marshall’s new-look Wichita State team has a plethora of talent. With McDuffie, Frankamp, forward Zach Brown and center Shaq Morris, the Shockers should still be at the top of the class in the Missouri Valley.
2. UNI
3. Illinois State
4. Missouri State
5. Indiana State
6. Southern Illinois
7. Loyola
8. Bradley
9. Evansville

Reeves has quite the handles. That double behind-the-back dribble at the 6:30 mark of his video is pretty awesome. He slashes very well but will have to utilize that pull up jumper against the flopping Panthers.Comment

"Shaq Morris ices exhibition win with putback dunk" - NBC SPorts

"Wichita State nearly surrendered a lead that was as large as 22 in the second half to Division II Augusta on Saturday afternoon at Koch Arena. The Shockers were able to hold off the Jaguars, 73-67, behind the stellar play of big man Shaq Morris. The 6-foot-8 junior allowed fans to breath a sigh of relief after he cleaned up a missed three from Conner Frankamp with a one-handed, putback jam...."

Watched the video, which showed Reaves with a nice move to the paint and a GREAT toss to Hamilton in the paint!
Conner was 3 for 5, and his two missed threes were so soft off the rim that Shaq slammed them both home!
Kelly was in a large number of the highlights.Livin the dreamComment

Morris and Shamet totally dominated the highlights by a wide margin. All 3 of Hamilton's buckets were shown, 2 assists and a bucket by Kelly, the 2 plays by Reaves you mentioned, and Smith's driving bucket. I'm sure I missed some.Originally posted by wufan View PostComment

My mistake, Missouri State and Illinois State listed in the fine print of "others considered ". FWIW.Originally posted by Shockadelica View PostComment

Some likely locker room bulletin board material in this article. UNI's Jacobson didn't say it but the reporter offered up this gem:
"Northern Iowa coach Ben Jacobson thinks Wichita State will be the preseason favorite in the Missouri Valley but acknowledges the doors have opened for other teams to remove the Shockers from their perch — not just in 2016-17 but permanently."
