1. Illinois State (Redbird Arena is underrated)
2. UNI (I like the McLeod Center and it fits UNI; small, cheap and feisty)
3. MSU (just escapes the D2 exemption but with no locker rooms in the building, lucky to be 3rd)
4. Drake (hard to believe the Knapp center is almost 20)
5. Indiana State (the Hulman center sucks)
Unable to rank: WSU (my team) CU (rented) UE (double exclusion D2 moving to rented) BU (rented) SIU (D2)
That's ridiculous. JQH is an amazing arena. How does it "just escape the D2 exemption"?
