And knock-knock-knockin on the Mountain West's door.

If we can take down the American (which is a long, long shot), I'll donate $100 to the WSU SASO fund. In the spirit of Christmas - and tax deductions. :buddies:

3 MVC schools in the top 100 7 in the top 130 8 in the top 150 and all 10 MVC schools are in the KenPom top 200 right now. Not too shabby for a conference many had pronounced dead with the departure of Wichita State and whose highest ranked team in the metric is 90. May we all continue to climb higher and prove how badly underestimated this conference was. Go MVC!

The lowest rated MVC school (Drake) is higher rated than 2 A10 (Fordham Duquesne) schools 2 AAC (East Carolina South Florida) Schools 1MWC school (San Jose St) and 1 P5 (Washington St).

Excellent day/night for the Valley at 5-1 (and oooo sooo close on that Trees game), so that's 23-9 vs. D1 teams. Loving the roll that the MVC teams are on this season, and the more teams keep winning....the more the Valley is going be MOVIN' ON UP :dance:

Looking forward to seeing the Bears bounce back with a W against Georgia Southern. Go get 'em Bears!

And.....KEEP IT ROCKIN' MVC!! :Cheers:

Single-elimination formats, yes. Bradley did win 2 at FGCU during the 2008 CBE classic, but those were just the 3 meaningless filler games in a pre-determined semifinal tourney.

I was tuning in on ESPN3 and switched games once they were up 9. That was a crucial blow. Would've been a pretty nice W.

No one grasps defeat from the jaws of victory better than Paul Lusk. :bow:

Once again...Lusk with an epic fail. The "pick" of the valley shouldn't be losing this game today, despite a decent GA Southern squad. Let's see if Bradley can do better Saturday.

F*** Paul Lusk.

WIth the talent on his roster, he should have rolled through the dogshit MTE he's in.

Fire him on the tarmac. Bear fans should have the pitchforks and torches out. You have First Place talent with a Junior High level coach on the bench. You are going to finish in the middle of the pack with this talent. Its coaching malpractice.

It will be interesting to see how the other 6th place team from last season does against Georgia Southern. I still can't believe Missouri State finished in a tie with Bradley last season and are picked to win the conference, while Bradley is picked to finish 7th. We shall see!

This means we have to invite Georgia Southern now, right?
