Southern Indiana is one of the top DII teams in the country I believe. I think they knocked off a Valley team or two a few years ago.

I still don't think E'Ville finishes above 8th. And 8th may be a stretch.

[rrshock]

Sometimes you gotta wonder how E'Ville finishes out of 11th place. I guess it's technicalities, but they don't deserve to be 10th.

One of these days a D-II team is gonna knock Evansville right back into D-II - where frankly they belong.

Drake had 6 players in double figures with Jonathon Cox with 14 points and 13 rebounds. Guard Jacob Baryenbruch came in off the bench to score 14 points with 4-6 shooting for 3's.

Drake may not go down as much as people think this year.

if Evansville's replaced - who would you want to be in the league?

K-State

Tulsa or St. Louis.

Maybe we could get Tulsa back or Oral Roberts. I was going to say OCU, but they're NAIA. Didn't they use to be Division I? I thought we had played them in the past.

Oklahoma City University

OCU athletes participate in the NAIA and Sooner Athletic Conference.

[Ta town]

Tulsa or St. Louis.

Before last night Tulsa had a football teamed ranked in the top 25. Why would they want to join the valley? They don't play baseball and they do field a solid division I football team. It just wouldn't make sense.

Sorry but the valley will never make sense for Tulsa unless the it starts to compete in football at D1 level.

W Kentucky

[ShockerFever]

W Kentucky

You guys need to do a little research.

WKU = Div 1-A football; therefore:

WKU = Would never join the Valley

[tropicalshox]

I want Louisville and Cincinnati back. But, I'll take St. Louis back and would love Tulsa back but that won't happen.

Butler?
