This will set our standard for the season, its a big game and if we screw up and get killed, kiss out chances of winning the MVC down the drain. The newcomer is going to be that juco, he is quick and a good deffensive of player. The team i am most scared about is Drake, they are tough and can play with anyone. We should make the NCAA, but an early exit, sorry we just don't play good under pressure.

I also declare shenanigans on this one. In 2004, we beat an SIU team that was 17-0 in the MVC. Not only did we beat them, we handled them rather easily 68-52. Same said for a ranked Creighton bunch that year. Last year we got it done against SIU again, and does anyone else remember that Wichita State game at Wichita? I know I do. We'll be fine when the game is on the line... we have to good a coaching staff and a team with too much experience for that.
