Just joking with you my friend. Top 6 is absolutely possible for Marty's team!

I differ with Aces 1982. Roberts Stadium will be a tough place to play for the MVC visitors. I see in Conference play 7-8 game home wins for the Aces and stealing a couple of games on the road. I believe we'll go winning 5-4 OOC. Finishing in the 5or6 place in Conference with a 15-14 record for the year. See you in St Louis on Friday

So with Evansville breezing past Thursday sixth ace, which four teams are stuck in the bottom four?

2 All-Valley players on a play-in team.

That would be a first.

WOW!!! Going 7-2 or 8-1 in conference play at home. That would be quite a feat.

That's a little harsh don't you think? Come on, at minimum it's a compliment to be compared to one of the finest academic institutions in the greater Indiana area, don't you think? I sure would feel proud to be compared to such a school.

Plus the Aces have the best pure scorer in the league (at least returning scorer) in Colt "The Assassin" Ryan (that's my new nickname for him, if Aces fans don't mind that is!).


Knowing "The Assassin" will be patrolling the Valley for 3 more years is bit of a conundrum for me. On one hand, I just know he's going to kill my team probably more often than not but on the other hand, what a pure joy it is to watch this kid compete.


LOL "The Assassin."
Go Aces!

I will go ahead and put up some expectations on the Trees...
1. I think it will be a greatly different team style than the last few years with us now running the Motion Offense again...I do see us starting slow though, we don't have an easy Non-con by any stretch of the imagination but the slow start should have a fast ending...
2. When people say that we lost three starters I kind of chuckle...I think distractions wise we lost two cancers to our team and a big man who was slow, unathletic and uncoordinated...
In final...I see us finishing 4-5 in the MVC...Koang Duolony has finally taken the next step to be a solid defensive presence and offensive presence...our bench is definitely our strength..And I think Jake Kelly will finally live up to at least some of his potential...ALSO...I think Myles walker will be a HUGE addition to this team...for years we have lacked that big man that could defend the valley's big men but Walker is that bully type big man we have needed!....

Drake has a great recruiting class but they arent going to contend for anything except which Thursday night seed they get. I'm sorry, just calling it like I see it. Trees with a new coach also fall in this bunch as does a severely depleted SIU program. Evansville is well..evansville and should just go to D2 as fast as MArty can take them there. Colt's not gonna be the savior. If those four arent playing Thursday, I'll be very surprised.


What a nonsensical and meaningless definition. If every team in the Valley were to go undefeated out of conference, the bottom four would be "woeful" because they only won 6 conference games? Are the bottom dwellers in the Big East "woeful because they only win 2 or three conference games, although they might finish in the top two or three in most conferences? Even if every team in the conference had 2 or three NBA draft choices, somebody would have to come in last.

I think a teams "woefulness" would have to be determined on a national scale, maybe something like a 250+ rpi?

20 wins
Find a way to avoid Thursday
Play in some type of post-season tournament
Slow start; strong finish.
Think WSU 2 years ago without "The Screw in the Lou"
