Comment: I guess I am a little surprised by the names left off the list.
They don't have a 1st Team, 2nd Team, etc....only those 8 players, 6 1st Teamers and two Honorable Mention.

Kids like Eric Coleman, Daniel Ruffin, Randall Falker, Sean Ogirri, and Matt Webster might just be motivated to show how good they really are this season!

I wonder why no Preseason NOY or COY?
Maybe that'll be released later.

Well, it means nobody expects much of BU, but maybe that's to be expected.

Anyway, I likes this article about the MVC 100th Anniversary events yesterday, in which they ribbed Billy Packer.

They also recount the one time in his career that Hersey fouled out. And I recall that game, all five fouls were offensive fouls!

No expectations means nowhere to go but up.

BU won't finish 8th. Mark that down.

I like Hersey's response:

"That's not surprising. I never liked that place."

:lol:
