I like the Gaels as a darkhorse... they have 2 guys that average around 20/game.

Hoping the MVC shows well this year. I think we will, but you just never know who you're going to draw in the tournament.

Looking forward to seeing the Braves there in the near future!

Chicago writer Mike North wanted Jim Les for head coach of Northwestern...

"Chris Collins, whose Northwestern Wildcats have won two in a row, are 3-10 in the conference and 12- 14 overall.
They need another year before we can really judge the progress there.

My pick for the job before Collins was hired was Notre Dame College Prep standout Jim Les. The former Bradley coach
is now the head coach at UC Davis, and it looks like they might have their best season with a 9-1 record in the Big West and 19-4 overall.

Just like Collins, he inherited a mess there. Good job Jim!

Hopefully Collins can duplicate that success with the Wildcats down the line."
