In the Bison write-up, talks about Saul, wins over Marquette and close losses at KSU, CSU, ISU. Write up is done by a guy out of Tulsa.

Did Oral Roberts lose a lot of people?? I don't know a lot about the teams admittedly.

[Jdubs21]

yeah i thought oral roberts woulda been rated higher but their schedule and rocord last year wasnt to impressive other than beating kansas in lawrence

[Mr. Burgundy]

How bad is Centenary to be ranked behind SDSU??? Did Robert Parish graduate finally? I would think SDSU has to be the worst in the conference. FINALLY A CONFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KC Bison]

For onbision09 I got this info from my Brother-in-law from Tulsa. ORU lost 3 kids.. one was Caleb Green 6'8" 255 lb. forward 20 points per game 3 time Mid-Con player of the year and Kent Tutt a 6'1" guard 16 points per game 3 time Mid-Con 1st team player. I don't know anything about the 3rd player but losing these two players should put a dent in their game. However, I suspect they will end up higher than 4th place in the conference.

Caleb Green was crazy good. LONG player. I am glad he is done.

[X-Factor]

did he make an NBA roster?

[Swat_Team10]

Caleb was on a summer NBA roster last I read. I know the Oral Roberts web site was updating his summer games. As for the ranking, I beleive it is about right. Notes: New coach in S Utah, UMKC and NDSU. I think a new coach has a big enfluance in a program so for the NDSU team to get such high praise considering Saul is new coach, so that sais plenty about the players coming back! I thought IPFW would get a little more LOVE...heck the beat the Bison Two years in a row. And yes Centenarry stinks! Coach is in his third or fourth year, so maybe they will be improved, but would not bank on it.

[BisonBlogger]

I was more surprised by Oakland not getting more love. They have pretty much everyone back and have a very good defensive team. Kangas is a big time shooter.

As for IPFW, they lost their main post scorer in Tyler Best and who most people thought was their best guard in Quintin Carouthers.

[X-Factor]

As long as the Bison win the regular season so we can go NIT!

The guys have been working HARD in the offseason. I've seen lots of improvement, but I guess that's for another thread.

I think it is just great we finally get to be in conference play. It should be a great year. Good Luck Saul, staff, and players.
