Yes, I was happy that SIU not only played well but earned a 
little respect.

Not sure how I feel about them having a #2 in OK State next 
game.  Yes I am sure...I am real worried!  :)

Illinois didn't play like a world beater in their win 
yesterday, but I was amazed at how writers that the day 
before had said that Illinois was going to take it all. But 
after having a close, but really never in real doubt, game 
with #16 Fairly (sp?) Dickenson they are all down on the 
Illini.

BE nice if Illinois and SIU got to play, they are in the 
same bracket, just to say it happened, but I will be real 
surprised if SIU gets past OKS.

Some good B-Ball out there!  How about Louisville winning a 
tough one...Ron, you still rooting for your former home town 
team?
