Wichita State was just about as dominant in the Missouri Valley's postseason awards Thursday as the unbeaten Shockers were in running roughshod through the league schedule. Fred VanVleet beat out teammates Cleanthony Early and Ron Baker for the conference player of the year award, the first time that a school swept the top three spots. All three of them were voted first-team all-conference, while the Shockers' Tekele Cotton made the second team and was voted the league's defensive player of the year. ''We're happy for these accolades and these awards, and it's a great accomplishment,'' VanVleet said, ''but with this week coming up, we know we have a lot of work to do, and these awards won't mean anything if we don't take care of business and finish the way we want to finish out.'' The Shockers (31-0, 18-0) are the top seed and have a first-round bye in the Missouri Valley tournament, which starts Thursday.
