I would like to know what idiot keeps voting for Montana St. They are 3-7 w/2 of their wins coming over NAIA teams & 1 of their losses to a DII team.

[grizbeer]

I am surprised NDSU isn't at least getting votes on this poll. It is hard to say this early, but they look to be comparable to UM and ISU (actually better than ISU given this weekend).

I bet it is that damn Dave Calloway from Monmouth he has had a bias towards the Cats for years. :p

I'm surprised that at last Bruiser Flint (Drexel), didn't vote give La Salle (6-0) a vote, even after the Explorers beat his team by double digits a couple of weeks ago.

I am guessing La Salle doesn't qualify as a Mid-Major (in Basketball ;) ) because they are part of the A-10. :)

Drexel has fallen off the map completely. Had that great Preseason NIT and have tanked pretty much since...

Stinks for them too and for us, the Bearkats, since we lost to them. I think we'd of beat them in Huntsville. Tough little environment there...

We need to beat Arizona tonight!!!!

Go KATS!! :coach:

UNI just knocked off LSU in Baton Rouge, 54-50. This Panther team is for real, if they aren't dancing come March I will be shocked. :hurray:
