    SIU really struggled with a D2 for about 35 minutes of their game - trailed at half.
    ISUr needed a real late 14-0 run or something like that to edge out a D2 - trailed at half
    Evansville needed OT to edge out a D2 - trailed almost the full game IIRC
    Loyola gets beat by a D2

    I think Loyola's crash back to earth after that magical run happens harder than most think....and the bottom of the conference is going to be pretty bad

    • Loyola has a real guards problem, as in other than Williamson; they aren't very good. I also think we're GREATLY underestimating how much better Mullins made Porter look.

        Kaifes (sp?) showed some flashes of being good last year. Williamson, Krutwig, and Kaifes is enough in the MVC to be good, but maybe not win the conference good. It also remains to be seen if they have the same mental toughness/resilience to win hard fought games on the road. They’ve excelled at that the last few years.

          Kaifes is out for the year with a shoulder injury.

            They also have a couple other injuries that are 6 weeks just to start to get back, and unknown what kind of production they'll have coming back after that.

              I think by the end of next year you will see Porter on a real hot seat, and Mullins have SIU back towards the top of the league.

                • I don’t know how many of you have Facebook, but I’ve been really impressed with the social media presence for basketball lately. They just posted a hilarious Halloween video that is worth checking out. https://www.facebook.com/15250654844...522892?sfns=mo

                  • They also put it on their Twitter account. Pretty funny.

                    • Social media continuing to trend upward.
                      "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."
