It never really feels like basketball season’s ready to start until I see the GSC Preseason Release. This year, the coaches have tabbed Montevallo as the GSC East and Conference champion, with Christian Brothers as the GSC West favorite. That’s a pretty safe bet.
Here are the predicted GSC West standings (total votes and first place votes in parentheses, with votes on a 7-6-5-4-3-2-1 scale):
- Christian Brothers (48, 6)
- Harding (42, 2)
- Delta State (33)
- Ouachita Baptist (33)
- Henderson State (22)
- Arkansas-Monticello (17)
- Southern Arkansas (15)
- Arkansas Tech (14)
Harding received two first-place votes, four second-place votes, and a fourth-place vote.
The All-GSC-West team:
- Terrance Whiters (G-ATU)
- Kevin Weybright (F-CBU)
- Johnny Hodge (F-DSU)
- Matt Hall (F-HU)
- Antoine Vinson (G-HSU)
- Jaranimo Marks (G-OBU)
I’ll be doing my own predictions at some point, but this isn’t a bad list.
