GSC Preseason Release...Released

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):

1. Christian Brothers (48, 6)
2. Harding (42, 2)
3. Delta State (33)
4. Ouachita Baptist (33)
5. Henderson State (22)
6. Arkansas-Monticello (17)
7. Southern Arkansas (15)
8. 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.
