It could legitimately be a #3 Drake instead of us. Recall we've been picked #6 in other polls -- #7 is a lot closer to #6 than #3 would be...

who knows, but Drake was 7-11 last year in the Valley and tailed off at the end losing their last four...
they had team chemistry issues, even tho they had two potential All-League guys in Young and Cox.
Now they have lost Cox, Parker has bolted, and their roster has nine new guys...
They did surprise everyone a couple years ago, but I wouldn't expect it again...nobody who does ranking for a living would pick Drake ahead of ISU.
What I wonder is what do the ISU fans think of being picked possibly behind BU?Comment

Here's one direct response to the isu preview....Originally posted by tornado View Post
".....Then we have Austin Hill, Jackie Carmichael, Tony Lewis, Zeke Upshaw and Jon Ekey. These are all guys that every valley team was after bad last year and Illinois St. got them."
"Are you seriously going to rank Bradley better in the valley than Illinois St.? Is it because they finished strong i nthe CIT tournment rolling over teams like Austin Peay, Oakland and Pacific, just so they could get their 20 win season."
I didn't realize Bradley was after all those guys "bad" last year. It's also funny that all three CIT opponents would look GREAT on the isu schedule!???People say, ???Forget last year', but I want our guys to remember that one, because that will not happen again. We will be much better.??? Geno Ford, 9/22/12Comment

Beni, I personally think the Braves will be the surprise team in the Valley this year. But opinions are like noses everybody has one. I read in a magazine the other day that had Bradley as 6th in the Valley, I had to laugh, but as we know injury's can make a big difference. Only time will tell.Originally posted by Beninator View PostComment

I agree with you about BU being a surprise team in the Valley and that is right were I want us. --a little under the radar--- I put a guess on this thread that we would come in at #77 and I thought that I was a little optimistic with my guess for this site.Originally posted by kds View PostBradley 72 - Illini 68 Final
