And the Utah win for WSU is looking pretty solid too.

Double digit wins in the non-conference. Solid start, keep it going and we'll see you in February-awesome how the conference can work it out so we don't even play each other the first month. That 1/6 at Wichita should be fun.

Yes, MVC fans the SIU Salukis still play in the league---beat Murray at Murray 88-73/ 10-2 record--who knows, we may not play on Thursday this year

Help me out. Who were their losses to, and what were their top 100 wins. This is a serious question as I have been lead to believe that they didn't play a tough schedule, but I could be wrong.

I Believe at 10-2 their current RPI is ~100, Kenpom of 145. SOS is around ~260 right now. Non-Con SOS per Kenpom is 344. The Murray State win isn't as impressive this year as it would have been last year. They are 4-6 with an RPI of 109

Losses are RPI 214 SIU-Edwardsville (home) and RPI 154 UTEP (Home)

Best Wins in current RPI (All appear sure to drop)
45 - @ Sam Houston State
69 - Home - Kent State
80 - Home - Airforce
96 - Home Oakland

Based mostly on watching the replay of SIU @ Murray St this morning:

I will be quite shocked if the Salukis play on Thursday. They feature a four guard dribble-drive offense that may be hard to stop if they're hitting their shots, which they've been doing so far. Their defensive averages aren't so good, but it looked pretty good to me against Murray.

Sean O'Brien seems like a mismatch for many MVC teams - 6'7" who can shoot and handle the ball.

This morning's Sagarin update says SIU has the weakest schedule in the MVC, by a lot. #326. Evansville 2nd worst #269. Loyola 3rd worst #196.

Thank you! Some quality wins against no name teams. Those losses are not good! They could be 12-0. Either way, a great start for the Salukis and winning is fun!
