[tornado]

This is the first 2010-2011 ranking I have seen........

http://www.collegehoopsnet.com/2011-early-top-50-ranking-168630

Purdue is #1
Duke #3
Butler #6
Illinois #27
Wichita State #49

UNI is listed as inside the next 10 after the Top 50 -- and no other MVC teams...

I really think that Illinois can be better than #27....

Purdue and MSU are going to be nasty....

They had better be. Otherwise, Weber had better be concerned about his job.

Hope we get either UNLV or New Mexico for our challenge match-up next year! Not sure how the Utes will be. I would say UNLV is a top 50 team at least - I think they return most of their key guys from last season.
We need to bulk up to have a chance vs. these teams - Let's win all of our non-conf. home games and take back the home court advantage!!!

#45 Wichita St.
#60 Missouri St.
#65 UNI
#78 BU (without a productive 5 man)
#80 Creighton

Illinois in the top 10 is more like it.

Oh boy. That doesn't say a lot for the Valley next year! We need at least three or four teams to break the top 50 to be a competitive conference to the BCS contingent, tournament expansion or not.

Does that mean they all make an expanded NCAA Tournament next year?

These knuckle-heads aren't right with their rankings late in the season - why the fark would anyone put any stock in their early rankings?

I have no idea of why I'm even reading this thread. LOL You win and beat decent teams you get ranked, period. Besides NIU last year no one else in the MVC did that. Why would the knuckle heads put any stock in the Valley right now?
