I hope your loss tomorrow doesn't hurt you to bad..........:bears:

Of course what you are really expressing is a desire for your own team to do well (which I fully understand) and not a desire to see a fellow MVC team come tumbling out of the polls. And if Mo state wins tomorrow you will be rooting for SIU against nationally ranked Butler so an MVC team will still be in the poll.

Precisely. Congrats on the ranking, SIU.

Agreed, you're representing the Valley well. Keep doing it this postseason.

CU was also #24 in Seth Davis' ballot, cast in the AP poll.

[GarH]

Fantastic to see SIU finally get the respect it deserves.

That would be "too bad".

[tennis08tarheels]

Where's the SIU/Butler game being played? Butler can't win away from home, much less in Carbondale.

[dawg]

Tis at their home court. I have tickets in their nosebleed section.

[DJShocker10]

Congratulations on the ranking and finally getting the respect you deserve.

Go:salukis:

But more importantly.. Go:shockers:

[Sir_ShoxAlot]

Wichita State was ranked #8 once...

Go Saluki's, hope you keep it up the rest of the year.:salukis: :salukis: :salukis:

Congrats on the high ranking (for you anyway :innocent: )

I wonder how long it will be before Creighton fans start praying for you to lose at Butler and fall out of the poll?

Nope. Completely different story. You absolutely annoying shucker fans gloated and gloated and gloated.. whoops, look where you are now?

I respect SIU fans (at least the ones who post here) ..they dont seem to shout it off of the rooftops as much. Now lets not start the ridiculous debate of how "CU fans dont support the valley by hating WSU"

[ATrainFan]

Any respect in the polls for the MVC is great, no matter the team!

Congrats Salukis! Hopefully, by the end of the NCAA tourney there will be 2 teams there!

Go Jays!

Not a single Creighton fan gloated when they were picked 1st in the Valley and 19th in the Preseason Top 25.:no:

If you're team is ranked #8 in the nation, then who isn't going to gloat? Duke?? We enjoyed being ranked #8 because we were finally getting some respect. Of course there were still those haters who couldn't stand WSU getting some love.

SIU, once again, congrats on the ranking. And I'm going to pre-apologize if this thread ends up completely hijacked and torn way off topic.

[MVC Fan]

Butler can't win away from home, much less in Carbondale.

Say what? Butler has 12 of its 22 wins away from home...considering 15 of their 25 games have been away from home, I'd say its understandable if they drop 1 or 2 (or 3).

The game is at Butler, btw.
