Just a guess....but Loyola went to the final four and looked really good while there. I suspect that has had the effect of pulling all the other teams up a bit in the eyes of those outside the MVC.
#81-- Memphis, 21-13 (10-8)--projected NIT

The guys on this site had three to four Valley teams in the top 100 for several years with Wichita State grabbing the projected number 1 Valley Ranking. I believe last year they just felt the Valley would be a sub-par conference and ranked the Valley teams accordingly. I believe after Loyola's run last year, they realize the Valley is not falling out of contention in the future over the loss of Wichita State.
#80---Old Dominion, 25-7/ 15-3 last season. Projected as NIT participant
# 79---UNC-Greensboro (27-8/ 15-3) in NCAA in 2017-18/ projected as NCAA participant in 2018-19
#78 Rhode Island (26-8/ 15-3) was in NCAA in 2017-18. Projected NIT in 2018-19
#77---Arkansas (23-12/ 10-8) Was in NCAA in 2017-18 and projected NIT in 2018-19
We're No. 76! Not too bad...
March on triumphantly!
76 is probably NIT bubble at best.
Goodbye Barry.
3 years too late to save the program.
Great job to all involved.

Eh, It's just another guess by guys who rarely know teams other than top High Majors.

Agree, a nice time killer waiting for football and hoops to begin. Especially after picking Loyola as #100 last year. Kind of shoots their cred.
Also think the reviewer overlooked the Bol situation regarding front court support, assuming he's OK physically. Maybe they know something we don't. Don't think our coaching situation helps our rating either.

I think Bol will be ready by November--plus, just a wild guess, that thirteenth Scholie may be used to solidify the front court---just a wild guess
Wrong these guys know their stuff. He was a guest on Salukitalk chat several times
Ok I'll take your word for it, I guess Bol just slipped their mind
