SI 2007 College Preview

[abesimpson]

Seth Davis lists Bradley as a Cinderella heading deep into March with a nice pic of Ruffin on the page.

SIU at #18 in their top 20 and Bill Trocchi has Bradley at #37 in the rest of his top 65/bracket, but no other mVC teams mentioned.

On one hand, you can say that this was obviously written before Saturday night's disappointing loss, and that SI would have changed everything they said about the Braves if it had been written afterwards.

On the other hand, you can give SI some credit for seeing the big picture regarding the Braves and this season, and much like they would with any other good program that suffers an early season road defeat to a lesser opponent, SI's looks past the loss and sees that in the long run, this team will be a force to be reckoned with.

Which hand are you picking? I know which one I agree with...

I pick it was written before the game.

I find it interesting how Ruff is said to be the best player in the MVC (5 Minute Guide by Seth Davis), while Randal Falker is listed at #9 on the list of top 15 Seniors (by Luke Winn).
