Good for them. They have always been my 2nd favorite Valley team.

Good for them. They have always been my 2nd favorite Valley team.
Mom always said "Root for your rivals so they can be #1 when you beat them", it is always that much better when you topple them as a champion (like 1994 when Missouri swept top ranked Kansas twice and then in 1997 when the undefeated Kansas team, ranked #1 came into the Hearnes Center in Missouri and got handed their their only regular season loss that year, Roy Williams' and Norm Stewart's teams were always good for an epic game, as a kid and a "Mizzou fan" I found it hard to cheer for Kansas)
This basketball passion followed me to SIU when we were facing Creighton or Wichita State.
"root for any valley team outside of when you are playing them...."
