Most teams will be wrapping up the non-conference this week and conference playis just around the corner is there any changes you would make to our preseason predictions as far as team finish and POY/FOY selections?

Not that many people on here care about the bottom of the conference of course unless you lose to those teams. But I can not see UE finishing 10th, no way no how. I see them fall somewhere in the 7-8 range with chance to climb to 6th.

Not flaming here, but who do you think you will finish ahead of? The Bulter win was nice, but what other performances have made you hope/expect to challenge for 6th? Who has impressed on your squad this year?

It might not even have much to do with Evansville, Evansville isn't much better than I thought they were going to be but everyone else is worse.

1. WSU
2. MSU
3. Creighton
4. UNI

After that, I have no idea and I think anyone (even Evansville) has just as good of a shot as anyone else.

how can a win over a mediocre Butler team automatically mean you're gonna jump 4 teams and avoid Thursday?

Even in a down Valley, Evansville is not a Thursday avoider. No way. No how.

This.

Although, I disagree. I think UE is better then what most people thought. And the fact that the bottom 6 isn't that great makes me think there is a chance to finish higher then most people thought.

From ESPN's mid major update:

Missouri Valley
Then: Wichita State
Now: Wichita State, but the MVC is again one of the best mid-major conferences from top to bottom. Missouri State, Creighton, Northern Iowa and Illinois State have shown championship pedigrees in the nonconference season. I can't wait to tip it off in the Valley.
