I thought both of these teams would be good this season. The Bowling Green Falcons started pretty poorly in the non-conference, only to compile a 12-6 conference mark and finish second in the league. The Ball State Cardinals looked good at times during a tough non-conference schedule, only to do pretty much the same in conference play. However, they looked fairly good in knocking off a streaky Eastern Michigan squad in their first round game.
Tayler Persons, Sr, Guard, Ball State: A do everything player, he really makes the Cardinals offense go.
