Not even 36 hours after the game has been played, and we have moved down to 198. I’m not so sure about breaking out of the 200s for good, and can see us being back over 200 by the time the Mo. St. game gets here. The rankings are fluid, so we could fall slightly out of 200 by MoState tip, but they project ue to lose by 10 so as long as we keep it closer than that we shouldn’t see a big change even with a L. I’m confident we can get a win against UNI at home on Saturday, and with them being top 100 currently, that should push us high enough to not have to worry anymore if we keep playing at a .500 level. BYUs top 10 in Kenpom, so if we can even keep that within 10 points it should boost our ranking too.

I am reminded ... if it's the "story" we're after -- try to not recall how we converted the UK miracle win into a 22-game losing streak.
Overall, it's a much better team but it's also one that's been largely tested by 2 sloppy MAC teams and a bad OVC team, plus the Eutectics. So the reality bus hasn't parked yet. We'd be wise to not anoint this Aces team as a contender until they stare down Drake, Old Mo, Bradley and Sicko State.
Otherwise, early returns say they are fully as good as Ill. State, Murray, the Bellhops, Valpo and You-I-See.
Not sure yet on UNI or the Salukis. I remain the optimist despite that and this year, I wear my Aces gear with pride.
I am going to put this outfit at 12-8 for the conference season. That's probably 5th place or possibly 3rd/4th.

I'm not a betting person, but I wanted to on the Chattanooga game, and finally did on the Semo game. Won enough money to pay for my gas going to the Chattanooga game.
thanks vegas!

We should have a lot better feel after going on the road to MSU. I think we can definitely beat UNI at home on Saturday. We should have our largest and most energetic crowd in several years for that game. Hopefully we will go 1-1 at worst this week. If we go 0-2, we may need to reassess things and start expecting more of a 7-9th finish this season, but I really believe we will be in contention for a bye in St Louis this year.

Very encouraging performance in both games over Thanksgiving. The game Friday was one of the best games for the Aces in a long time!
Regardless of Wednesday's game - the game at home Saturday is one of the biggest UE games in a long, long time. Winning that game against UNI at home would be a huge victory - hopefully will be a good crowd.

Both games will be tough. I hope we keep moving on offense and keep playing good defense. Go Aces!!!
