I am going to do a five part series examining the ten best MVC men's hoops players in each class. Today, I started with the freshmen/first-years.

Before you settle in to watch what's left of the MVC schedule tonight, take a look at part 2 of my series examining the top ten MVC men's basketball players in each class. Today we'll look at the sophomores.

Updated power rankings hot off the press. Written while still dealing with the effects of the flu so.....just keep that in mind.

Part three of my five part series looking at all of the league's top players by class is now posted. Take a look at the Missouri Valley's top ten juniors/third-year players below. Antonio Reeves is featured.

I am assuming Chatman is being considered a senior/4-year even though he is listed as RS Junior.

I think Lewis' defense along with his rebounding and efficient shooting would get him in top ten. Look what he did guarding Mosley and Wisconsin's Davis. He had some tremendous blocks in the Valpo game. I believe he has a decent shot of making all MVC defensive team.

Yes, Chatman is being considered as a fourth-year. I am using Verbalcommits.com as my guide.

It is very hard to judge defense when I have only seen a handful of each team's games besides my team (UNI). Especially for non-star players. I have to go off stats. You are probably right about Lewis.

My latest article features my take on the top ten seniors/fourth-year players in the league. But there are actually 21 guys featured total including five honorable mentions and six Belmont/Murray/UIC guys who would be in the top ten if they were in the MVC. Enjoy! Or don't!

You'll find two Redbirds on this list. You can probably guess which two.

Things are a tad bit salty around here right now. Hold please.

As we hit the (scheduled) midway point of the league season, I have a new batch of power rankings. I'll also take a look at who I think each team's second best player is. I think this pick was relatively straightforward, but it could change by the end of the year as new guys find their roles after the big injury. I was very impressed by Lewis against Drake.

Power Rankings At The (Sort Of) Midway Point & 2nd Best Players

I spoke to a fan of each of the incoming schools to get the dirt on why we should be excited their school is joining the league next year. Here is part one focusing on Murray State, featuring @RacerJoeD.

Today I posted the last of my three-part series covering each of the incoming schools from their fans' perspective. Belmont is featured, as two Bruins fans tell all.

My next project will be updated power rankings, which I haven't done in over two weeks. You can also follow me on Twitter @BeatMVC if you're so inclined.

With one week and 13 games left to play, I have another set of power rankings for you (freshly published). Assist to Matt Hackman as his probability charts are referenced repeatedly.

Inspired by the guys at MarchArchPod, I took a dive into the depths of MVC mediocrity in an attempt to dig up the single worst Valley basketball team this millennium. What was my conclusion? Click below, dear reader, to find out.
