    Bilas Gives MVC Respect!

    not sure if anyone else has already posted this link...as i just saw it today!

    http://insider.espn.go.com/ncb/insider/columns/story?columnist=bilas_jay&id=2278838&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fncb%2finsider%2fcolumns%2fstory%3fcolumnist%3dbilas_jay%26id%3d2278838


    good respect for the valley....good to see the words "Northern Iowa" 4 times in a story written by a staunch ACC supporter. also, the last paragraph is classic for the MVC and the Gateway.

    The key will be, will the MVC teams get credit for beating each other, or will that diminish the nonconference success? The teams that gain at-large consideration will be the teams that win on the road in league play.

    go panthers
    go valley
    go gateway

    Good point by Bilas, the College Bball world never looks at Mid-Major conference road losses very kindly, when, in my opinion its a lot harder to win on the road in the Valley than the Big 12 or Big 10, where people just get clobberd by the top tier, and still those leagues get 4-6 bids. Its Bull but its always that way. Ohh well the preconference RPI being 4th will help all season, we just need the valley to do very will in Bracket Buster games now and we should see very favorable opinions of the Valley come spring time.

      He's absolutely right. 13-5 might very well in this conference. We need to hold down the fort at home and we'll be just fine. I think Bilas is on the right track with this statement. Good for him.

        Well, UNI was 10-2 in the non-conference and if they go 13-5 in the Valley...that's 23-7 going into the Valley Tourney. If you want my opinion (which people might not) if UNI is 23-7 on March 2nd, they should be a LEAD PIPE LOCK for the NCAA's. Period.

          Is that officially a "PANTHER2317 LEAD, PIPE, LOCK"?

                  Perhaps...I was just going with the Deace in the afternoon..."Lead, pipe, lock"

                  (PS: Deace is on KXNO in Des Moines, he's the afternoon sports guy)

                    Isn't lead a health hazard?
                    Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.

                        He stole that from Tony Bruno and a number of of radio hosts. That's why I just go with TC's Locks of the Week. Money all year long! 53-33-2 against the spread this year.

                          Yes, but you put us down for a loss in the bracket buster apparently, as we are 10-1 nonconference to this point.

                              You know it Reed. It has been a very healthy season for the pocketbook for this guy this season. College hoops has been very kind as well. Thank goodness I stop betting on the NFL after I kept losing whatever I would make on a Saturday
