WICHITA, Kan. – Led by first team selections Markis McDuffie and Landry Shamet, Wichita State placed four players on the All-Missouri Valley Conference squad, released Tuesday morning.
Balloting was conducted by coaches, sports information directors and a panel of media. Voters could not choose their own student-athletes.
In the four decades since the MVC shifted to its current format, McDuffie – a 6-foot-8 sophomore forward– and Shamet – 6-4 redshirt freshman guard – are just the second set of Valley teammates to make the first team as underclassmen. The other: Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet, who each made the list as sophomores in 2014.
