Chisoxfn Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Southwest Missouri state was pretty good a few years ago when they had Alford as their HC. They made a few tourney runs if I recall, and one time I swear they made it to the Sweet 16, but I may be going senile and they just won one game.

doubleM23 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 The Bears were pretty good. Bradley is still one of the Top 25 teams in all-time Division 1 men's basketball victories and still has the most basketball national championships of any Div-1 school in Illinois. Also a couple of marquee alumni like Chet Walker, Kirby Puckett, and Hersey Hawkins. Everyone knows of the Jays recent success. Drake blows at sports. They do have a beautiful campus. If anyone is looking for a small university in the Midwest, I would give Drake a shot. As does Evansville. Illinois State sucks. . Indiana State is known for Larry Bird and the 1979 National Championship game against MSU. Northern Iowa has Kurt Warner. SIU, also a good program now. Wichita State is one of the best baseball programs in the country. I saw them last year. They are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that the Ohio St team of Scoonie Penn and Michael Redd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that the Ohio St team of Scoonie Penn and Michael Redd? Yeah that was the year of the OSU backcourt. I always remembered that year because of SMS, because I knew Alford from where I went to college. A few years before that he led our college to the D3 basketball national championship game, which incidently we lost to Bo Ryan's Wisconson Whitewater team. It was the only time in NCAA history that two undefeated teams met for a basketball championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridgeportHeather Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Illinois State Is known for Doug Collins, as well as beating Tennessee in the 1998 NCAA tournament in the Stallings era. Oh, and Wichita State has a killer baseball program. They're on the Baseball America Collegiate Top 25 list almost every week. And SMS made it to the CWS just last year. I'd say our conference is rather tough when it comes to baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyola has 1 and they are the only team from Illinois to win the NCAA Tournament. Bradley has 2 national championships that predated the tournament. BU was a powerhouse in the 50's and 60's.

witesoxfan Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I got a letter from Drake. I don't think I even opened it though. Hell, I'm only a sophomore, why the hell would I give a s*** about college now? Also, I heard Drake has a decent track and field program. Also, Drake has the honor of losing a basketball game by 52 while scoring 110. Some defense they have allowing 162 points in a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Grinell isn't able to attract the athletes that other colleges are, so thier basketball coach has implemented a program to make the team competitive... By running, and throwing up 3 pointers. Shooting 50% for the game is a good standard, a high standard, but this is what the principle is based on... If team A takes nothing but 2 point shots making half of them, and team B takes nothing but 3 pointers, team B would only have to shoot above 33% to win the game, assuming the same number of shots... Basically they exploit 3 point line, the advantage of taking more 3point shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
