With NIU upcoming on the schedule, I was curious how the rest of the colleges around the state were fairing, so I looked up everyone's KenPom. Biggest surprise for me was UIC above ISU right now, and how far down the non-MVC directional schools are.

KP	Team	Record
26	UIUC	3-0
44	Northwestern	2-1
90	Loyola	3-0
98	Bradley	2-1
138	DePaul	3-0
160	SIU	1-1
168	UIC	2-1
188	ISU	2-1
306	SIUE	2-2
307	NIU	2-1
316	WIU	1-2
344	EIU	1-2
348	Chicago St	0-3

No matter what we do, we're always listed behind Loyola. I hate those guys.

Yeah, beating them in the NIT at home and chanting MVC afterward was glorious!
