WSU has dominated the MVC Media Poll over the least three years, but will the trend continue? With the release coming tomorrow, how will we fare?

Does anyone involved with Loyola still get a vote?

[ShockdaWorld]

Should be 100%, but there will be one tool that votes for the most athletic 12. Oh wait, that's probably us this year.

[Rocky Mountain Shock]

Surely some ass clown will give Missouri State a 1st place vote this year.

Will be more warranted than the Loyola vote last year, or the ISUr vote 2 years ago.

[SB Shock]

Listening to the MVC podcasts it would seem that everybody is choosing WSU as the #1. Most think WSU is going to drop back but are not willing to bet against them. In general their order was WSU, ISUR and UNI. There are some that think SIU or MSU could break into the top 3.

Isn't that Mueller who does that?

Isn't that Mueller who does that?

yes

[AndShock]

Muller denied the Loyola vote last year. I don't think anyone ever claimed it.

I could be wrong but I thought it was some Loyola newspaper chick who wanted to invoke some "rah rah rah" into the Rambler fan base of 10.

[Stickboy46]

Official Results 88% ... 37 out of 42. 4 First place votes for ISUr, 1 for UNI.

Beat writers have been waiting for this moment to vote someone else in.

Yep. And they need to not have a vote any more. Not that it's the most serious thing in the world. But, have some respect for yourself.

[Cdizzle]

413 total, meaning either someone picked WSU 4th, or multiple people picked WSU 3rd.

All in all, seems like a pretty reasonable ranking and a pretty reasonable All-MVC team. I know Scott is the only returning guy from the first two teams, but I didn't see it last year, and I don't see it this year.

[shockmonster]

Conner is just as good a player as Reed Timmer. Similar types of players. Conner will play far fewer minutes. I'm not a Dequon Miller buyer either. He's not a shoein.

[Dan]

I'd pick UNI over ISU any day. Clint Karlson will have a breakout year.
