Bears came in today at #91 overall and #5 in the MVC

That surprises me somewhat. I'm assuming it will be SIU, but one of Drake, Bradley, Loyola, or SIU will be picked ahead of the Bears.

One of those things where you look at stats in ESPN and make your pick. Author didn't realize that Marshall missed 21 games last year. I see us 3rd but that is just my take.

Salukis came in today at #82, #4 in MVC...I don't have them this far up but its great to see them having 7 MVC schools in top 144, including 5 in top 91.

That puts them 3 spots above Creighton. Maybe losing the B'Jays wasn't as tragic as a lot of people tried to make it look.

It remains to be seen if SIU has a better season than CU, but that the national narrative is that SIU climbing from the abyss of the Valley will have a better year than CU of the mighty nBE is some funny shat.

Hallucinogenic mushrooms will make you do strange things with your Top 144.

There is no way. The most disappointed man in America is Barry because the last thing he wants is a pre-season prognostication his team will be in the NIT. Doesn't jibe with the "youngest team in America" line he's going to wear gosh darn out this year.

I for one will be very happy is 7 MVC teams make the top 150 and 5 make the top 100 at the end of the year.

Yep, MVC is definitely better off with Loyola.

I think we all know where Creighton is trending. They were held up by a player that fell into their laps and it still never got them out of the Round of 32. They have a coach that has proven to be terrible in a conference not named the Valley. They are an outsider in a conference full of real Big East leftovers.

Let's visit this conversation again in a few years (maybe even sooner). I have a feeling you might see things differently then.
