If IU goes 30-3 or whatever, wins the Big 11 tourney, and only loses to Xavier and a couple solid Big 11 teams on the road, they'll be a 1 or 2 seed without question. I guess my point is that RPI won't matter if this very talented team, with a very talented coach takes care of business. I've watched MSU, OSU and Wisc. (and NW and PSU). None looks as talented as the Hoosiers. Solid for sure, but not as explosive. (I haven't seen the Boilers yet, but have heard nothing but good things...but we get them only once, and it's inside the hall ;) The selection comittee will recognize the greatness of this team, RPI notwithstanding.

He got five and a half boards a game and shot 42 percent from three the last year he was at IU. He was our best defender and rebounder (for his size). I'm not sure you and I are thinking of the same Robert Vaden, MP. He was easily the best overall player on the team. The guy doesn't have a weakness.

But leave it up to another dumba## to leave us out, Dan Weber out of California and the Riverside Press-Enterprise thought we were not deserving of a top 25 vote. The funny thing is last week he ranked us 17! I guess when you win by almost FIFTY you should drop out of the top 25. Oh well the only real poll that matters is the one in April.
