ST. LOUIS - Indiana State men's basketball graduate student Markus Harding and junior Camp Wagner were selected as 2025-26 MVC Players to Watch, announced on Wednesday morning from the league office. 

Harding, playing 18.0 minutes per game last season, played in 29-of-32 games averaging 6.4 points per game and 4.1 rebounds per game. He started in all 29 games available. Harding's season high of 16 points occurred twice last season, most recently at home against Northern Iowa where he made 4-of-7 from three in only 21 minutes on the court.

Wagner, playing 26.6 minutes per game last season, played in 31-of-32 games. He led the 2024-25 Sycamores in three-point percentage shooting 38.5% (min. 75 attempts), finishing third in the MVC in the category. His 2.7 threes per game was also third in the league. He closed out the last four games of the season shooting nearly 44% from downtown, highlighted by a season-high 31 points at Belmont, making 9-of-18 triples. Both the 31 points and nine made threes were career highs for the then-sophomore, as he tied the Indiana State men's basketball program single-game three-point recorded with the nine made threes.

Indiana State tips off the regular season on Monday, November 3 at Charlotte and will host Illinois Tech in the home opener on Thursday, November 6.
