    Not alot of respect for UNI there considering that Creighton, Bradley, and Wichita basically have new teams. This year is going to be fun once again.
    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.

    Agreed. I hope that no one is upset about this because its precisely that type of expectation that will fuel the team this year.

      My take on it is simple. The reporters who were doing the 'rankings' were the reporters that were at the MVC baseball tourney. Since not all Valley teams were at the tourney, not all Valley schools had representatives there to make the case for their hometown team. Would be interested to see where Wichita State would place if a gathering of Gateway Football Media were to put together a basketball list? Not a big deal and not one I would mark as 'expert'.

        Haha, good. I hope that they all pick us 7th and then we go out and win the whole thing. It should be a competitive season in the Valley, but they all are really.

            Agreed. I'm very excited for the season to start... and we're not even to football season yet!

            I'm sure there isn't any resource out there that can tell us this but I would venture a guess that most teams that get an NCAA-exempt overseas trip in the summer tend to fair much better that next season than prognosticators think. And for us, the competition will be far superior than the typical teams NCAA squads line up against in summer trips to Europe. I know last year when UW took their trip to Italy, their closest game was about 20 points. The extra practices were as valuable as anything.

            Man this USA team trip seems more and more unbelievable to me the closer it gets!
