I feel like 1-4 could really be in pretty much any order, but I think depth is going to be crucial this year and those are the 4 deepest teams in the league.
1. Loyola (wouldn't be shocked if there's another flame-out in St. Louis though even with the Senior team)
2. Bradley
3. SIU
4. Drake
5. Indiana State
6. Northern Iowa
7. Missouri State (I think this team might be better than expected though)

Missouri State is a real wild card and may shock some. I'm counting on Bradley pissing away at least 3 conference games on last minute free throws.

Dawgs have the worst schedule playing all three contenders twice on the road; Bradley has the easiest of the top 4.

I think in a likely one bid league, playing the toughest schedule is actually a good thing. They'll be well-tested headed into Arch Madness.

I feel like Loyola is the clear favorite, but after that either Bradley, SIU, Drake or even Missouri State could sneak in 2nd. Going to be a wild year. I'll take Coach Mullins over anyone else.

Wow. I am surprised we are that far off of the pace. That means Vegas has us pegged 6th in a 10 team league. Well, at least we avoid the play-in game. Hah!
