ST. LOUIS - Long-time basketball coach Rich Herrin of Southern Illinois, hoops standout Kyle Korver of Creighton and basketball coaching legend Cheryl Burnett of Missouri State highlight the 13th MVC Hall of Fame class.

Korver will be enshrined as a Hall of Fame selection, while Herrin and Burnett are coaches wing choices.

For the seventh time in eight years, The Valley will conduct its annual Hall of Fame ceremony as part the State Farm MVC men's basketball championship weekend on March 4-7, 2010. The Hall of Fame ceremony will take place at Scottrade Center in St. Louis on Friday. The event will begin with an 8 a.m. breakfast, with the ceremony beginning at approximately 45 minutes later.

Tickets to the ceremony can be obtained by calling the league office at 314-421-0339. Seating is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.

The fourth-ranked men's basketball coach on the all-time Missouri Valley Conference victory list, Herrin guided the Salukis to Arch Madness titles in 1993, 1994 and 1995 - the first tournament played at Scottrade Center. His 225-174 record at SIU between 1985-1998 ranks only behind original men's basketball coach and former athletic director William McAndrew in wins.

McAndrew went 303-210 in the early-to-mid 1900s.
