    You are right. With a win tomorrow, our loss against wichita is basically negated.
    As far as the regular season standings in the conference race and our seeding possibility going into the MVC tournament. But it certainly doesn't negate the loss in terms of NCAA tournament ramifications.

        so, in your opinion, the seed we would get for the NCAA tournament doesn't matter?

          Why couldn't Drake have looked better during non-conference play to help the Valley RPI?

            Similar deal to UNI last season, integrating new players with returnees. I know, UNI did a great job last season melding old and new together to make a great run, Drake sucks because they didn't do it sooner than now. Perspective is a great thing, ain't it?

              Why didn't we look better in the non-conference last year to help the Valley. Drake is earily similar to our team last year in terms of momentum.

                Drake is really young, too. And supposedly they have one of the top MVC recruiting classes next year. They look surprisingly good. But maybe we can make them look bad again.

                  Re: Drake-WSU

                  After this year, Drake loses 3 of their top 6 and 4 of their top 9 scorers. Josh Young, Adam Templeton, Craig Stanley, and Bill Eaddy are all seniors. Their recruiting class will be good as freshmen, but this isn't the type of talent that was in SIU's top class last year with Dillard, Booker, Hare, and Bocot (and Roundtree before defection). If all those guys would have stayed, you are looking at a really solid team for SIU. I wouldn't put any of Drake's newcomers on par with Dillard, but they will be good. Not Josh Young good, but good.
                  The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

                    Thanks. I didn't get a chance to follow much of UNI sports last year as I was overseas. I did get to watch us lose to Richmond at 4 in the morning on TV though.

                    I guess I'd like to see the Valley do well in nono-conference play to get us back to where we are getting 4 bids like a few years ago.
