I’ve been picking MSU since 6th. The same argument that was made for Murray being overrated could be made for MSU, and I personally have much more faith in Steve Prohm than I do Dana Ford.

Seems they hired him just because he was a good player. i think we know all too well that former beloved players don't always translate to successful coaches. But they have Jawaun now, and he will bring all that winning experience with him there. They are a lock..... |

Honestly I think all the teams outside of Bradley and Drake all have a ton of question marks and really a case could be made for any of them to finish very low. SIU has experience but hasn't done much with these same guys. Missouri State has a bunch of new guys and a bad coach so I don't really see much happening there either. Belmont and Murray lost all key guys and are playing in a tougher conference so I see struggles for them too. The league is going to be way down in my opinion and wide open for someone to fly in and finish much higher than expected.

Agree completely, and I really hate to say it, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the Sycamores are the team that somehow wildly exceeds expectations and comes close to avoiding Thursday. |

I don't get why everyone is so high on Bradley. The best they've ever done under Wardle is 4th / 5th, where they won Arch Madness from those two years in a row. I feel like that is their max.

Loss of Mast would be huge for Bradley.
