If you search "polygon of gloom" in quotes on Google, this thread is the only place it comes up. You should trademark it!

Tulsa (2-6) hosts Ark. Little Rock (3-4)
LOSS - Tenn St (0-9) at Drexel (5-2)

Top 10s:
#2 Arizona (8-0) hosts UNLV (3-3)
#4 Syracuse (8-0) hosts Binghampton (2-6)
#5 Ohio St (7-0) hosts Cent. Conn. St (2-5)
#6 Kansas (6-1) at Colorado (8-1)
#7 Louisville (7-1) hosts LA-Lafayette (6-2)
#8 Wisconsin (9-0) hosts Marquette (5-3)

There's a loss or two in that list of games for the rest of the Top 10 right there. Who will they be? I say Kansas, Arizona and Wisconsin better watch out. Mr. Coleby's previous institution will probably give Louisville a solid first half.

Which MVC team will right some of its wrongs tomorrow? Hard to say, but I think someone in this conference is going to pull a solid upset tomorrow. I'm gonna say Drake. You know what? I'm also going to say UNI. If there's one thing they do best, its ruin someone else's fun. They aren't as good as Iowa St. but I could easily see them pulling a stunt tomorrow.

BYU will beat UMass on the road and continue to make us look good. St. Louis will beat Valpo so bad people will be running for cover. Those two wins are really good wins for us.

Guys, I'm tired... That was like a college level research project. If I'm willing to put in that kind of effort, surely the Valley can get me some wins for my trouble, right?

I think Drake has a shot but Iowa state is going to beat the hell out of uni

How bad did the Shox beat Baylor in that scrimmage? Could it be that KY needs adjusted back a few places?

[Dave Stalwart]

Its probably the last shot for our conference tomorrow. I like to get excited and hopeful, but I know what will really happen...

Sweep that list and the MVC doesn't suck balls this year anymore. Will it happen? No.

The non-conference list may very well be a sweep, though. Well, except for Tenn State. They belong in the Valley, don't they? :)

#20 Baylor beating #3 Kentucky by 4 with 40 seconds left. What are the chances both of those teams end up ranked ahead of us?

[AndShock]

Baylor wins 67-62

In case you were wondering why the game got over so late, it's because the Baylor/UK women's game that preceded went into 4OT and produced a score of 133-130.

KY 3rd loss already, should leave them hanging on to the top 5. I'm picking them to make it to Madison Square Garden this post season. But won't hang the banner.

2nd loss.

The BYU - UMASS game is on CBS College sports (2260 Cox) at 12:30 pm.

2nd loss.

ESPN updated the standings before the game was over. Their wins don't look all that impressive.

[JaminShock]

Kentucky has played two really good teams and lost to both of them. Here are their wins: UNC Asheville, Northern Kentucky, Robert Morris, Texas-Arlington, Cleveland State (by 5), Eastern Michigan, and Providence. Combined records of those teams? 21-33. We have played two really good teams and beat both of them, one on the road and one at a neutral site. It would be a crime if they are ranked ahead of us.

If you are saying that about Kentucky, same goes for Louisville... The only quality team they have played was North Carolina, and they lost that one at home. Other than that, and it's been all cupcakes... The Louisville-Kentucky game on the 28th should be interesting though!

The non-conference list may very well be a sweep, though. Well, except for Tenn State. They belong in the Valley, don't they? :)

Tenn St will never get into the Valley, primarily for 2 reasons. 1) They're not in Illinois. 2) They can't deliver the Chicago market.

Chicago State is next. Then Illinois-Chicago.

I only wish you were being sarcastic. I feel you are absolutely correct.
