Love that he had the championship shirt on the whole game. That is the smile of a man who finally be able to leave Loyola for greener pastures next month.

Missouri Valley Conference Champions! That is pretty good that they stepped up in the quality of conference, competed pretty quickly and then won it within five years. It is a little less impressive that they won it when Wichita State left. 24-5 with an RPI of 41. Home game against third place Illinois State to close out the regular season. Hopefully it is not a let down game sandwiched between winning the conference and the start of the conference tournament. |

on the UIC front, they sit in third place but one game out of first. They place the two teams in front of them to close out the regular season so a conference championship is still a possibility. This is a nice rebound year for the Flames. Either way they will be a darkhorse for the conference tournament. It would be cool to get two Chicago teams in the NCAAs, even if they are not the big boys. |

Missouri Valley #10 based on BPI. Horizon #22. That is out of 32 conferences and as of January 18. Obviously the MVC is a true mid major in the top third of all conferences, including just a few ticks below the big, bad Pac 12 who is #7. Horizon is in the bottom third below conferences like the Ivy. |

closed out the regular season by beating the #2 and 3 teams in the conference. 25-5 with an RPI of 32. That really should be enough to be a lock for the tourney. I don't think they are. |

MVC MVP, Freshman of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year Two of those three are back next year. They have an excellent freshman class that will mature into sophmores including, for RR's enjoyment, a player from Morgan Park. I read somewhere that they have some 3.5 star, 6'9" recruit from Florida coming in next year as well. They are well poised for another run next year and should have the benefit of the doubt they haven't been getting in rankings this year. I look for them to open with top 25 votes. I expect Moser to parlay this season into a better gig but I think this job would now be an attractive first job for a top assistant in a nation wide search. |

You also have to worry about power 5 teams coming in and convincing kids to transfer up. |

In fact, he talked one of his friends to transfer in to LU. The freshman is one of those big, burly guys who wouldn't impress with athleticism. The other rising sophomores had minimal roles that wouldn't stand out but should be pushing for playing time. They wouldn't sniff the court until senior year in big time programs |

Moser runs a good system that doesn't rely on a single great scorer - as long as he continues to stick to those principles, he will be successful there. |

Ramblers escape in a close one. On to round 2 against Bradley or Drake. I expect them to have gotten rid of their anxiety and roll in round 2. |

The title defense begins in one month. I would bet university will have a watching party somewhere. I might go to that. |

Low SOS and a couple of bad losses and only one real win. |

Semi final game this afternoon - Loyola vs Bradley; Loyola RPI now at 31; still think a win today and a close loss in the championship game gets the Ramblers an at large bid ( probably one of those play in games, but better than nothing) |
