Probably not a contender this year in the Valley, but a solid middle-pack team for sure. Jank has his guys playing well in the 2nd half of the Valley season, at which point THIS team may gel too.

Osiris being gone may be a good thing for the 'Birds, though he had a great college career. He was the go-to guy last year and took too many poor shots at critical times.

#4 is DePaul

and #3 is Bradley -- obviously #2 will be Northwestern, and #1 the Illini


Here's the link to his BU discussion..

Actually the guy is pretty astute...he knows about Dodie's broken wrist at the end of 2008-2009 -- something many did not know about. And the guy knows a fair amount about Jake, Walt, DSE...
