MSU @ Texas Tech 11/22

[Wufan]

I miss the days that the Valley was at least COMPETITIVE with half decent teams. Even pulling off wins now and then against teams percieved better. This conference has fallen so quick it is mind boggling. Multiple bids seem like a million years ago at this point.

I don't think the conference is ANY better top to bottom this year as a whole.

Good luck to UNI. You are our ONLY hope at another at large worthy team.

The conference has been disappointing, but it's way to early to write everyone off.

Lol no, no it's not. Damage is done and I see NOTHING that gives ANY hope to believe otherwise. These teams are soooooo crappy. They can improve, sure, but then they will just be crappy instead of very crappy.

Again UNI, the pressure is on you to be the 2nd bid. Everyone else is a drag once again

Under .500 against D-1 opponents, most losses not against top notch teams. Even sunshine pumpers can't spin this one.

Hopefully Wichita State can beat Newman.

Bradley and Drake are horrible and without two starters each. They are 0-5 against D-1 teams. Loyola was picked last and they are 0-1. SIU has been horrid, going 1-3. The top six are 11-4. I think we can hope to be a little top heavy this year.

A few of the teams are already a third of the way through their D1 noncon schedule.

If they don't pick it up, soon, the only thing they'll be able to do is torpedo the RPIs of the top half teams in conference play. Again.

Bradley will get back to full strength just in time for our unwinnable games (K-State and Memphis), and become good just in time to ruin everyone's RPI in conference play.

You're welcome MVC

I thoroughly enjoy everyone dismissing the ACES. Playing in a fairly strong mid major tourney at Florida Gulf Coast starting tomorrow. I'm predicting them to finish 12-1 non conference then starting conference play vs UNI with a home court victory. GO ACES.

I guess it all depends on whether u think any of these teams are going to change their stripes or not.......but I bet ELGIN is worrying.

They have Marty..... His greatest accomplishment at EU is losing a third grader, followed by eating a sixth grader.
