Southern Illinois Salukis

Yep, they won the regular season MVC crown. Yeah, they got smoked in the final against Creighton. They played a pretty weak schedule, but they only lost once in conference other than losing to Creighton. They seem more solid than Butler, so I think I'd put em in...

(24-6, 16-2), 8-5 Road Record, 2-3 vs. RPI top 50.

-1st in Missouri Valley Conference (Lost in Tourney Championship)

RPI: 38
SOS: 142

Big Wins:
Creighton 70-62

Bad Losses:
@Illinois-Chicago 71-73
@Charlotte 67-80
@Bradley 73-77

You know, the more and more I look at Southern Illinois, the more and more I could see them being left out. They'd better pull for no upsets this weekend in any of the big conferences tournaments. The RPI is in the upper 30's with a very weak SOS and no real marquee wins. I could see this team being left out...

I think they are in if they win their next big game. Otherwise, no.
