the new coaching staff out there at Washington State (which includes ex-BU assistant Greg Graham) has them playing pretty well, but they are hurt by a horribly weak schedule so far.

Illini held on for a win over Mizzou...
they got 64 of their 68 points from just four starters...
Mizzou is just 5-6 - the worst record of any team in the SEC...with all five of their wins being surprisingly close wins against pretty weak 200 & 300 RPI cupcakes

but it is a nice non-conference rivalry game that draws well and generates excitement...
I would love to see us get something like that going....
It was happening to a degree when we played DePaul every year...but they backed out cuz we were winning...

Maybe we can get talking to Saint Louis, Creighton, UWM, or WKU and get a long term home & home series going...

I agree. I really miss playing Butler all those years. That was fun.
