To be fair, it was mostly one poster who got quickly put in check by others. At least there is some self-awareness. The fact remains that Bradley and Drake have higher NET rankings than any A-10 school. MVC has 5 teams in the top 150, A-10 has 6. To claim Loyola would be in the mix for anything above 6th place is laughable.

At least Valentine is getting massages before each game now. That's definitely important to know.

As of last Saturday...ILST was 268 and Loyola was 269...Just sayin...

That's laughable. Loyola finished 4th in the Valley last year. The tiebreakers put them in 4th for a reason. They would've been woodshedded in the final if DJ had been healthy. (Drake spanked loyola twice in the regular season, played a 4.5 man rotation three straight days at Arch Madness). Comical to think they would compete in the Valley this year.

I have no knowledge of Loyola from this year, but my guess is they would probably between UNI and Valpo this year as far as record goes.

They lost at home to Fordham last night.

If everything goes perfect for them in their last 3 games they can finish all the way up at 13th in a 1 bid league that's going to get a worse seed than we are!
