Missouri Valley

Murray State is coming off dominating the MVC last season, going 31-4 and 19-1 in conference play. Halli Poock won the MVC Player of the Year with averages of 22.5 points and 4.3 assists and 25.5 points in conference play. They also return two more elite scorers. Sharnecce Currie-Jelks is the reigning Newcomer of the Year, averaging 17.4 points and 11.7 rebounds last season, while Haven Ford added 17.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists. While this conference should be Murray State’s to lose, other programs in Belmont, Illinois State and Evansville should continue to compete next season.

However, they did lose key pieces in Raegan McCowan, Addi Brownfield, Mallory Shetley and Allie Meadows. Southern Indiana didn’t have a single player enter the transfer portal. Chloe Gannon is headlining this returning group while Tamara Ortiz is a South Alabama transfer who will make a difference immediately. The Screaming Eagles had one of the best defenses in the country and should carry that into next season. On the flip side, Lindenwood basically has a completely new roster, as nine players left and has a new head coach in Phil Sayers.
