Nice interview. How did you get him to respond? Looks like your blog is gaining some traction.

They actually approached me, which was really cool. UIC SIDs are really working hard to publicize the program and the move to the Valley any way they can. Even through piddly little blogs.

I spoke to a fan of each of the incoming schools to get the dirt on why we should be excited their school is joining the league next year. Here is part one focusing on Murray State, featuring RacerJoeD.

My new poll. I realize the net on Ken Prom is a different order. Loyola, Northern Iowa, Missouri State, Drake, Bradley, SIU, Illinois State, Valpo, Indiana State, and Evansville.

My new poll is still the same. I'm not paying any attention to the experts that have us #4. I also like our chances next month in St. Louis, regardless of seed. Getting three in three days down there is all that matters.

I agree. UNI will probably not be #4 in my next rankings which will come out next week even if we lose to Loyola. I'd prefer to avoid the 4-5 game in St. Louis as that will likely be the toughest first round matchup. Get me into the top three. And the 1-seed would be great because, other than being league champs, it also means we at least make the NIT.

Today I posted the last of the three-part series covering each of the incoming schools from their fans' perspective. Belmont is featured, as two Bruins fans tell all.

My next project will be updated power rankings, which I haven't done in over two weeks. Remember you can follow on Twitter @BeatMVC as well.

Belmont fan David says they have won 20 conference championships since 2006. That's quite a feat since there have only been 15 conference champions crowned since then. He cites Gonzaga and Kansas in reference to that record, so I am assuming he is including men's basketball only. What am I missing here?

Counting regular season conference titles and conference tournament titles, perhaps?

Men's + Women's?

Loyola, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, Bradley, Drake, SIU, Valpo, Illinois State, Indiana State, and Evansville. The Missouri State game looks like a battle for 2nd place. Seeded third is ok. It would be SIU, Missouri State, and Loyola in St Louis.

I think he is counting regular and postseason.

UIC becomes the new doormat. I would say to throw them back, but the Chicago market would be useful.
