CHN's countdown/Top 144 -- MSU is #37

[tornado]

Bradley was #120 (#7 in the MVC)
Drake was #95 (#6 in the MVC)
UNI was #76 (#5 in the MVC)

Now they have posted their pick for #41
#41 (#4 in the MVC) is Wichita State University

That means SIU, Creighton and Missouri State in the Top 40.

Or - wait. If that tops out the top 7, where is Evansville?

Maybe Mizzoo St is 8th and Evansville is 3rd?

Or maybe Evansville, Creighton, and Missouri State are in the Top 40
and SIU plummeted?



Actually, just less than 3 months ago, these same guys did give their Top 40 as a preseason Top 40.
Here it is, and they have Wichita at #39, Creighton at #28, and SIU at #22, so they definitely do have one more Valley team in there.
