Saluki fan ranks the Valley

I know, it's relatively meaningless...

First-- the SIU guy ranks the Valley home arenas, and places Bradley 7th behind SIU and Drake......
Seriously, if the Salukis had the chance to swap their ragged old arena for Carver Arena, then I suspect they would do it in a heartbeat.
In fact, they like their own home arena so much, that they are constantly talking about tearing it down and starting from scratch!
In addition, they've only sold the place out 20 times in the 45 years the place has been there.
Alas they have no $$ to build a new arena, so in the end they will simply try to overhaul and renovate the old one to make it look better.

Then the guy rates the MVC coaching staffs....I guess he's a coaching expert..
I agree with Creighton #1 but ISU at #2...when the coaches there have simply played the last two season with the talent they inherited playing woefully weak schedules and making a couple of NIT appearances?
I have to admit I am flabbergasted he ranks Bradley at #4, given how much the SIU folks dislike BU.

I took a nap a couple days ago and was going to report this then - and believe me, I'm not fixated on Bradley;-) it was my first dream about Bradley. In my dream, and in the dream I had to look at it twice and I'm surprised the shock did not wake me up, Bradley was ranked #14 in the polls sometime during the season. True story, true dream:)
 
Now the columnist for U of I basketball, Paul Klee, ranks the Valley as well......

First he starts by predicting the Big Ten...
1. Purdue 2. Michigan State 3. Minnesota 4. Illinois 5. Ohio State 6. Michigan 7. Wisconsin 8. Northwestern 9. Penn State 10. Indiana 11. Iowa

then he says this about the Valley..
In the Valley: 1. Northern Iowa 2. Creighton 3. SIU/Illinois State
UNI should be very good, an NCAA tournament team once again

These Creighton guys picked Bradley 7th

btw-- buried deep in that column also Klee says he doubts U of I has offered Bobo Drummond.
also -- looks like U of I will also play NIU.
