Southern Illinois at Wichita State on ESPN2 Feb 3

With #25 Indiana losing to The Hawkeyes, this should propel the 19-5 Salukis into the Top 25.

IU still may not fall out because of their win Wed. over # 2 Wisconsin.

#18,#19,#21,#23, and #25 all lost!
Hopefully that bodes well for SIU and The Valley!

Yes. I hope SIU gets ranked....it would sweeten a win over them in Carbondale.

Hey, I just like to be optimistic.

I heard the commentary during the game where they said that there has never been an instance where the conference champion from a top 5 RPI conference has not been ranked! That shows that there still is some disrespect from BCS coaches and the media toward the Valley (I'm talking about some of the voters from both of the major media polls).

However after what went on today, SIU WILL be ranked come Monday afternoon. You can take that to the bank!

This game reminded me a lot of the BU Creighton game on Wednesday as SIU got up big early and was just holding a lead. The crowd wanted to get into the game, but WSU could just not quite make the run, although they did get it to 5 points with 4 minutes to go before falling short. SIU pretty much dominated the game from start to finish.
