It's hard to imagine Drake or Bradley being anything above 8th, but I've been wrong before.
I certainly think 8th or 9th is possible for Bradley. But I also think they have more upside than most of the teams that will be down there. Drake is going to be really bad, and IMO, even before losing Simmons Jr., Evansville was going to be atrocious.
I could also see Bradley challenging to avoid Drake Night. Evansville lost a lot and even with Junior I had pegged for 8th or 9th. Personally, I could see Indiana State and SIU down here as well.
BU had some nice young talent and started to play better towards the end. Those guys now have some experience and have been surrounded with more talent and could be in the 6th or 7th range.
I'd say MSU has the talent to avoid Thursday but they still have Lusk so anything is possible. Could say the same for Loyola and Moser.
Really, outside of Wichita, UNI and ISUr I'm not sure what to think of those in the 4-9 range.
